X2-SDL Storage Requirements

The following practices should be carried out when placing an X2-SDL data logger in storage for an extended period of time:

• Remove all D-Cell batteries inside the data logger.
  • The battery installation procedure can be referenced for removal guidance.
  • Batteries left inside may leak and corrode the internal compartment of the logger.
  • Any X2-SDL left powered that falls below 8V of power risks SD card corruption caused by insufficient-power-driven resets.
• Disconnect any external SBP500 battery packs which may be supplying supplementary power through the bottom central port of the X2-SDL.
• Protect all cable and port connections.
  • Inspect all X2 sensor ports and cable connections ensuring there are no signs of moisture or damage.
  • Cover all logger or cable receptacle ports with a UW-plug to keep moisture out.
  • Keep all system cable O-rings and connectors clean by covering them with the included red (8-pin) or yellow (6-pin) polymer caps.
    • If these caps are no longer accessible, any means of shielding the connectors from debris is acceptable.
  • Use the O-ring grease included in the maintenance kit as needed to re-grease the cable/plug connector O-rings.
• Inspect/clean/re-grease the primary white battery lid O-rings as necessary prior to re-deploying the system.
