SBE 19plus V2 SEACAT Profiler Reference Sheet
(see SBE 19plus V2 User’s Manual for complete details)
Sampling Modes
• Profiling (MP) –Vertical profiles, sampling at 4 Hz. SBE 19plus V2 runs continuously.
• Moored (MM) – Time series measurements once every 10 seconds to once every 4 hours. SBE 19plus V2 powers down
between samples.
Communication Setup Parameters
1. Double click on SeatermV2.exe. SeatermV2 opens, select SBE 19plus V2. Seaterm232 opens.
2. In the Communications menu, select Configure. Select the Comm port and baud rate (factory set to 9600), and click OK.
3. Seaterm232 should automatically connect to the 19plus V2. As it connects, it sends GetHD and displays the response, and then
fills the Send Commands window with the list of commands for your 19plus V2.
Deployment
1. Batteries:
A. Remove battery end cap: Wipe dry housing/end cap seam. Unthread end cap by rotating counter-clockwise. Wipe dry O-ring
mating surfaces in housing with lint-free cloth.
B. Remove and replace battery cover plate and batteries: Remove three Phillips-head screws and washers from battery cover
plate, and remove cover plate. Turn 19plus V2 over and remove batteries. Install new batteries, + terminals against flat
contacts and - terminals against spring contacts. Align battery cover plate with housing. Reinstall three Phillips-head screws
and washers, while pushing hard on battery cover plate to depress spring contacts at bottom of battery compartment.
C. Reinstall battery end cap: Remove water from O-rings and mating surfaces with lint-free cloth. Inspect O-rings and mating
surfaces for dirt, nicks, and cuts. Clean/replace as necessary. Apply light coat of O-ring lubricant to O-ring and mating
surfaces. Fit end cap into housing and rethread into place, using a wrench to ensure end cap is tightly secured.
2. Program 19plus V2 for intended deployment (see other side of this sheet for Command Instructions and List):
A. Send DateTime=mmddyyyyhhmmss (month, day, year, hour, minute, second) to set date and time.
B. Ensure all data has been uploaded, and then send InitLogging to make entire memory available for recording. If InitLogging
is not sent, data will be stored after last recorded sample.
C. Establish setup and logging parameters. If desired, use StartDateTime= and StartLater to establish delayed start date and
time for Moored mode or (if IgnoreSwitch=Y) for Profiling mode.
3. Install a cable or dummy plug for each connector on 19plus V2 sensor end cap. Install a locking sleeve over each plug/cable
connector. Connect other end of cables to appropriate sensors.
4. Verify hardware and external fittings are secure.
5. Remove Tygon tubing that was looped end-to-end around conductivity cell for storage. Reconnect Tygon tubing from pump to
conductivity cell.
6. To start logging in Profiling mode –
• (if IgnoreSwitch=N) Turn on magnetic switch;
• (if IgnoreSwitch=Y) If not already done, send StartNow or send StartDateTime= and StartLater;
• (if AutoRun=Y) Turn on power.
7. To start logging in Moored mode - If not already done, send StartNow or send StartDateTime= and StartLater.
