A4 Manta 2 System Components
Clockwise from the top: Manta 2 and its underwater cable,
storage/calibration cup, maintenance kit, software disc and
data cable, USB adapter, weighted sensor guard.
1) The Manta 2 system comprises these basic parts:
2) Manta Multiprobe – each unit is custom configured with your choice of sensors, and with or
without a battery pack.
3) Underwater Cable – The underwater cable connects the Manta 2 to a PC, Amphibian Data
Display, or telemetry device when the Manta 2 is underwater.
4) Storage/Calibration Cup – With the black lid screwed on, the storage/calibration cup should
contain a few ounces of tap water to keep the sensors moist. (Some units are shipped with
separate storage cups and calibration cups; the storage cup does not have a removable
bottom.) Do not overfill, and do not allow the water to freeze. Do no store in anything other
than tap water. With the black lid removed, the storage/calibration cup is used to hold
calibration standards when calibrating the sensors.
5) Maintenance Kit – This kit contains spare DO membranes and DO electrolyte (if you ordered
a Clark dissolved oxygen sensor), reference electrode filling solution (if you ordered pH), the
logging on/off switch if the Manta 2 has an internal battery pack, and o-ring grease (please
use this liberally, especially on the o-rings of the underwater cable connector and on/off
switch if so equipped.).
6) Manta Desktop Software – allows you to connect the Manta directly to your PC through the
USB port. You can view data, setup logging files, and calibrate your instrument. Also
contains the USB to Serial Driver – The Manta connects directly to a USB port on your PC.
