10.0 Long Term Storage
10.1 Laying Up
1. Flush well in clean Seawater to remove any contamination from the Red Nose
Cone and allow to dry. If salt encrustation is seen on the Red Nose Cone, remove
the Ag/AgCl half cell and briefly wash in fresh water but immediately after
thoroughly rinse in Salt water (3% salt solution)
2. Clean the Blanking Plug and the socket in the handle. Apply Silicone grease to the
plug and fit it into the handle to get the Silicone grease into the socket. Re-apply if
necessary. Then remove the Plug, re-grease ready for storage.
3. The BCM can be stored with the battery in any state of charge.
4. Place the BCM, Charger, probes, probe spanner, Silicone grease and this
Instruction Manual into the carrying case.
5. Store the BCM in an ambient temperature not less than 0°C or greater than 40°C.
Storage outside these temperature will destroy the LCD display.
10.2 Re-commissioning
1. Remove the BCM from its case and fit the Blanking Plug. If the display comes on
then charge the BCM for 14 hours. If the BCM is dead, charge for 24 hours.
2. Fit the Blanking Plug and leave the BCM working. If it is still working after 50
hours then the battery has recovered its full capacity. If it is not working then the
battery is faulty and the BCM and Charger should be repaired.
3. Soak the BCM for 2 hours in a Seawater solution.
4. Carry out calibration checks, see calibration.
