Start the test deployment by clicking On-line -> Start Data Collection or click the Start Data
Collection toolbar button.
3.1.2.1 Temperature
Test the temperature sensor by confirming that the temperature reading is realistic. The temperature
reading should be close to the room temperature, assuming the instrument has been in the room for
a while to allow for the long time constant.
Specifications:
Range: -4°C to 40°C
Accuracy/Resolution: 0.1°C/0.01°C
Time response: 10 min for the Vector, 5 min for the Vectrino and Vectrino Profiler
3.1.2.2 Tilt or IMU (Vector)
The tilt sensor is located on the electronic boards inside the housing. The tilt sensor orientation is
set in accordance with the system orientation during normal operation.
The standard instrument is designed for vertical orientation. That means that you should make sure
the Vector canister is in an upright position. The tilt sensor detects up/down orientation - that means
that you can use the Vector pointing up or down and the instrument will know.

position.
Tilt sensors in probes designed for horizontal orientations will be mounted at right angles.

Uncertain about whether your Vector is with vertical or horizontal tilt?
If the tilt (pitch and/or roll) as indicated in the Sensors’ pane is unrealistically far from 0° when the
canister on a table (upright or lying down), the Vector is of the other type.
Verifying tilt sensor:
1) Click the Sensors tab on the main screen of the software.
2) Hold the instrument as level as possible to check that the tilt reading is close to zero.
