F. Fix the recorder and the compass boards to the mounting blocks with
the short nylon screws (3). Apply a little LocTite to all plastic screws. Cut
off excessive length on the long nylon screws.
G. Connect the compass and the main board with a connector (see image
in point E, to the upper right)
H. After reassembling the instrument, erase the recorder and check that the
system reads the correct recorder size (Section 1.5.3).
3.3.3.2 Installing a Memory Board With Cable - Really Old Paradopps
Some of the older systems will not fit the connector between the main board and the recorder, and
thus need an additional cable. The recorder board looks a little different, but it is essentially the
same process as described above. Two steps are added:
C(2). Attach the cable to the main board before fixing the recorder to the main
board.
C(3) Attach and bend the cable as shown, to avoid cable getting caught while
inserting the instrument into the housing.
3.3.4 Installing a DC/DC (Vector)
When installed in an instrument, a DC/DC converter is used to downconvert the supply voltage to 15
V.
To install one; open the instrument just as you would when replacing a battery pack (Changing a
Battery Pack). The DC/DC takes the place of one 50Wh battery pack
A. Remove the endbell and remove the batteries (if relevant)
B. Connect the DC/DC harnesses to the instrument harness. There is
only one of the two molex connectors pictured that will fit.
C. Slide the DCDC carefully into the canister
D. Connect the second molex connector to the endbell
E. Reattach the endbell to the pressure case and mount with four
titanium bolts and washers. Make sure that there are no dust or
particles on the O-rings on the endbell, and that they are whole. See
Recommended torque when securing screws - you do not need to
fasten them too much
F. Check that it is working. Take note of the voltage limitations/
requirements of your updated system!
3.3.5 Installing IMU sensor (Vector)
When ordering an IMU upgrade from Nortek you will receive the a small electronics board that needs
to be mounted on the main PCB. It will physically replace the existing compass board
A. Access the circuit board
B. Loosen the four screws and remove the compass board from the main board
