8. Screw in the new Reference Electrode until the “O” Ring just seats, then tighten
half a turn and no more. Over tightening the Reference Electrode could snap the
thread.
9. Replace the Red Nose Cone, ensuring that there is no debris or foreign matter
around its seat, and that the cut out is positioned to accommodate the Reference
Electrode.
10. Replace the stainless steel washer and slotted nut and tighten so there is no gap
between the Red Nose Cone and the White Body.
11. Check the “O” rings on the inside and outside of the white Delrin Probe Cone and
replace if necessary, smear the “O” rings with a little Silicone Grease, and replace
the white Delrin Probe Cone onto the Tie Rod.
12. Replace the stainless steel Probe Tip, if fitted.
7.0 Safety
All diving operations which involve the use of the Bathycorrometer must be carried out
in accordance with the current local statutory requirements for conducting Diving
Operations at Work.
7.1 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY -
EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVE 89/336/EEC:
The BCM and its charger do not generate RF energy so will not interfere with other
electronic equipment. The BCM is a sensitive volt meter, which when in use under
water would be screened from electromagnetic interference by the sea, however when
on the surface, being calibrated, interference may cause the BCM to give incorrect
readings. If this is the case, investigate to see if any transmitting equipment is in
operation i.e. radio telephones, radar or if any arc welding is being carried out. Also
electrical storms can have an effect.
