G8 Am I using Battery Pack power or Cable power?
If you have an Internal Battery Pack but are operating the Manta 2 with a cable attached, the Manta 2 will use power
coming in through the cable as long as its voltage is sufficient. Otherwise, it’ll be using battery power.
G9 Logging Redundantly with Telemetry
Some of you will connect an IBP-equipped Manta 2 to a cable-supplied battery, such as that in a telemetry system.
Again, if you have an Internal Battery Pack but are operating the Manta 2 with a cable attached, the Manta 2 will use
power coming in through the cable as long as its voltage is sufficient. Otherwise, it’ll be using battery power.
G10 Dumping Data from the Manta 2
Connect the Manta2 to your PC or laptop.
1) Clean all contaminants from the Manta and MBP before dumping data – this helps protect the seals (the o-ring
type, not barking type).
2) Remove the on-off lever by loosening the thumbscrew and pulling the lever straight out.
3) Connect the newly exposed Manta connector to the USB port on your PC with the supplied cable. Use the USB
adapter that came with your Manta.
4) Connect the download cable to your Manta, and then to the USB port on your PC.
5) Launch the Manta 2 Control Software by double-clicking on the Eureka icon on your desktop. Click on Manage
M2 Files, and then on Export Data, to upload data to save onto your PC.
6) When you have finished uploading data, unplug the cable from the MBP; reinstall the data-port knob so that it is
held in place by the thumbscrew. Tighten the thumbscrew finger-tight.
G11 Routine Maintenance
Clean your instrument periodically with warm soapy water. Liquid dishwashing soap is fine. Do not use abrasives. Do
not use acetone. Do not clean with gasoline, kerosene, or industrial cleaners. Mild household cleaners work well.
Clean sensor stems with a soft brush.
