Discussing SCAMP Maintenance

PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

The pressure transducer is located within the release endcap and receives external pressure through the 1/4" diameter hole drilled approximately in the center of this cap. The pressure transducer should be carefully flushed after deployment in salt water.

  1. Cut the nozzle of a squeeze bottle so that it will only slightly penetrate the pressure transducer port. Be sure that the nozzle will not penetrate so deeply that it touches the pressure transducer diaphragm. This can damage the transducer.

  2. Gently squeeze distilled water into the pressure transducer port. This water will be expelled from the pressure transducer cavity through the small hole provided for this purpose drilled next to the port. Flush thoroughly. Click on the picture to get a closer view.
