5.4.1 Using one Recorder Radio

This section describes how the steps to configure one recorder radio, and multiple line station

radios.

To install and troubleshoot the radios:

1Using the plan created in “Create Plan and Map” on page 109, install all of the radios,

masts, and LIUs. Point radio pairs directly at each other where possible (see “Maintain

Line-of-Sight” on page 110). Some inaccuracy is tolerable; however, align the radios as

close as possible using binoculars or compass bearing.

2If your configuration includes a redundant recorder radio, do not supply power to it yet

(RECORDER_B).

3From the recording truck, open the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool. Verify that all of the radios

are listed, and verify that each of the radios has a valid IP Address. Note the following:

●If a radio is listed, that means there is an Ethernet path to the radio.

●If a line station radio has a valid IP address that means the DHCP is active, DHCP is

being accepted by the radios, and DHCP is being passed from the recorder radio.

►DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

►Non-DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 192.168.1.xxx

4If the recorder radio is the only radio listed, the problem is probably at the recorder

radio. Perform the following steps:

aVerify that the recorder radio is connected to the antenna.

bVerify that the antenna mast is elevated to the correct height

cVerify that the recorder radio has DHCP by validating the IP address displayed in the

Ubiquiti Discovery tool. It should not be 192.168.1.20 (factory default). If it is

192.168.1.20, contact Wireless Seismic for DHCP support.

dReload the configuration file on the recorder radio.

eIf the recorder radio is still the only radio listed, proceed to the line station radios.

5If a line station radio is not listed, send a troubleshooter to the radio that is not listed

and perform the following steps:

aVerify that the line station radio is securely connected to the LIU with a known-good

cable.

bVerify that the LIU has active LED lights (the battery has power).

cVerify that the LIU has a flashing LNK LED. Note the following:

►A flashing LNK LED confirms that the LIU can communicate over the network and

obtain an IP address through DHCP.

►This step helps identify the exact location in the network where communications

are broken by proving the network is active between the two radios on a specific

pole.

►If the LNK LED is not flashing, replace the Ethernet cable.

►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the battery.

►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, reload the radio configuration file.

►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the LIU.

dVerify that a known-good Ethernet cable is securely attached to the radio.

eConnect a laptop to the LIU.

IMPORTANT: The Ethernet ports on the LIU are PoE enabled. When connecting a

laptop computer to the LIU, use a non-powered cable (60-0039) to protect the

computer’s Ethernet port. Do not use a powered Ethernet cable (60-0054). See

“Ethernet Cable Connections Comparison” on page 116 for more information.

5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul

Install and Troubleshoot

fOpen the discovery tool and verify that the radio is listed. If the radio is not listed,

perform the following steps.

1) Verify that the radio has power by visually inspecting the LEDs.

2) If the radio has power but is not visible to the laptop, replace the radio.

3) If the radio does not have power, replace the cable and/or the radio.

gVerify that the line station radio is pointed in the direction of the recorder radio and

has reasonable line-of-sight (see “Maintain Line-of-Sight” on page 110).

hIf the line station radio still cannot be seen, replace the radio.

The following table compares the powered Ethernet cable and the non-powered Ethernet

cable:

5.4.2 Using a Redundant Recorder Radio

This section describes the additional steps required to configure a redundant recorder radio.

To install and troubleshoot the redundant recorder radio:

3Wait 2 minutes to confirm that RECORDER_B completes its boot cycle.

4Disconnect RECORDER_A.

5Verify that all line station radios are listed in the Discovery window through RECORDER_B

within 2 minutes. The typical switch over takes 30 seconds but it can take longer.

6Supply power to RECORDER_A and disconnect power from RECORDER_B.

7Verify that all line station radios are listed in the Discovery window through

RECORDER_A.

8Supply power to RECORDER_B.

9Verify that all line station radios are listed in the Discovery window.

10 Verify that both recorder radios are listed in the Discovery window.

5.4.3 Using a Custom Configuration

Custom configurations may have a number of recorder radios and line station radios.

Correctly configure the backhaul for one of the recorders, for example, RECORDER_A, as

detailed in “Using one Recorder Radio” on page 115.

Then, configure the backhaul for each additional recorder, for example, RECORDER_B, until

the backhaul configuration is complete.

5.5 Final Communication Test

This section describes how to run the final speed test to verify good communication

throughout the backhaul. The final communication test should be run from each recorder

radio that will be communicating to line radios during production.

NOTE

Remove power from competing recorder radios during the configuration process.

During production is the only time more than one recorder radio should have

power applied.

Table 5–5 Pendant Radio Link Elements

Item Description

Configuration The following additional configuration files are provided:

• • Recorder-AP.cfg

• • Recorder-S.cfg

RR • The radio at the recording truck is a Rocket radio with an Omni

antenna and is indicated in the drawings as RR (Recorder/

Rocket).

• Use the Recorder-AP.cfg file with this radio.

• The RR radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing

directly at the pendant radio (PN).

PN • The radio at the line is a NanoStation radio with a built-in

antenna and is indicated in the drawings as PN (Pendant/Nano).

• Use the Recorder-S.cfg file with this radio.

• The PN radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing

directly at the recording truck radio antenna (RR).

• The PN radio should be at least 3 ft (0.91 m) from the line pole

(Pole 1 in the example shown in “Connecting the Recording

Truck with a Pendant Radio Link” on page 129). Use as much

distance as you can as allowed by your cable lengths.

• The PN radio and pole should be between the line and the

recording truck as shown in “Connecting the Recording Truck

with a Pendant Radio Link” on page 129.

Batteries • Adding a third radio to the LIU increases the battery usage at

this position. To ensure that the LIU does not reset due to a low

or depleted battery, keep two batteries connected to the LIU at

all times.

• The battery with the lowest voltage is used until the voltage falls

below the Unit Thresholds ? LIU Voltage Warning number

(usually about 11V). At this point, the LIU auto-swaps to the

battery with the higher voltage. Monitor the battery status in

the Ground Equipment Table. Replace the low-voltage battery

with a fully-charged battery as soon as possible after the battery

auto-swap occurs.

Do not dispose of a battery in fire or water

Do not expose a battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F)

Keep the battery away from children

Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibration

Do not use a damaged battery

Lithium Ion battery packs MUST be completely discharged before disposal

Although there may be local or state restrictions, lithium ion batteries are considered by

the Federal Government as “non-hazardous universal waste”. There are restrictions for

large quantity handlers of universal waste that define labeling, containment, and so on.

Whenever possible the batteries must be discharged before disposal. Battery leads/

contacts should be taped off to prevent accidental shorting. Each battery pack should be

placed in a plastic bag.

Recycling is encouraged when practical and applicable. The batteries contain recyclable

material and are accepted by several battery recycling companies. Refer to one of the

following for more information on recycling and disposal:

Remove the batteries from the WRU for storage

The recommended storage temperature for Lithium ion batteries is as follows:

●From -20°C to +45°C for a maximum period of one month

●From -20°C to +35°C for a maximum of 6 months, after which time the battery

packs will need to be recharged to above 50% capacity

●Storing at cooler temperatures slows down self discharge and capacity loss over

time. Store the batteries at 25°C or less if possible

The recommended storage charge levels are as follows:

●Charge (or discharge) batteries to a 30% to 50% charge level before placing into

storage. Higher or lower charge levels can reduce the battery life.

●Never store the battery completely depleted of charge unless for disposal.

●Periodic charging is necessary to maintain 30% to 50% charge when stored for a

long period of time

Store batteries in a well ventilated area

Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in the product or in

storage. When a battery has been unused for 6 months, check the charge status and

charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate.

D. LED Indicators

This chapter provides the possible LED status and error indicators for WRUs and LIUs.

The WRU has three possible states; undeployed, deploying, and deployed.

When tilting the WRU to deploy, re-acquire GPS, or check status, tilt the WRU geophone

down until the LEDs light, and then return the WRU to the horizontal position as shown

in the following figure:

When tilting the WRU to undeploy, tilt the WRU geophone up until the LEDs light, and

then return the WRU to the horizontal position as shown in the following figure:

D.1 WRU Undeployed

When the WRU is undeployed, all of the LEDs are off. A vertical tilt has the following

effect:

Geophone Down – WRU deployment

Geophone Up – No effect; nothing happens

WRU Undeployed

After removing both batteries from an undeployed WRU, and then replacing BAT A, BAT B, or

both, when the first battery is connected, the WRU goes through the power on LED sequence

and then remains in the undeployed state.

The following table shows the LED power-on sequence for an undeployed WRU:

WRU, it can be one of the following scenarios:

• Unit undeployed

• Batteries dead

When you do a tilt test (geophone down) on

an undeployed WRU with no LEDs on, the

following may occur:

• An Undeployed WRU deploys and begins

the self tests

• A WRU with dead batteries will continue

to display no lit LEDs

• A WRU is defective if no LEDs turn on

after battery replacement.

WRU Deploying

If power is removed from a WRU in the deploying state, the WRU stays in the deploying state

and restarts the deploying process when power is restored.

After removing both batteries from a deploying WRU, and then replacing BAT A, BAT B, or

both, when the first battery is connected, the WRU goes through the power on LED

sequence. If both batteries are connected, the battery fuse test is executed. If only one

battery is connected, the battery fuse test is skipped. The remainder of the self-tests are

then executed.

F. Using a Compass

This chapter describes how to use a sighting compass. A sighting compass has the same

features as a baseplate compass, but adds a vertical mirror that allows you to view the

compass dial and the landmark at the same time.

For a in-depth descriptions of using a compass with a map and setting the declination on

a compass see the following links:

http://www.compassdude.com/default.shtml

http://www.compassdude.com/compass-declination.shtml

http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/navigation-basics.html

http://www.thecompassstore.com/howtouseyour.html

A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole which is not the same as true or

geographic north. The difference between magnetic and true north is called magnetic

declination. The declination value depends on your actual location on the Earth. Over

time, as the Earth’s magnetic field shifts, the declination values also shift.

Maps are drawn with true north at the top edge. When using a compass to navigate or

locate objects, you must adjust the readings to account for the angular difference

between true north ( ★) and magnetic north (MN). The declination value is marked on

topographical maps as shown in the following figure:

Figure F–1 Sighting Compass (70-0067)

Draft

R01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 183

F. Using a Compass

However, because of the dynamic nature of the Earth’s magnetic field, old maps are

inaccurate. To obtain the most recent declination values, enter your map location at the

following link:

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination

To locate an object using a map and a compass:

1Place the long edge of the compass baseplate on the map, connecting the desired start

and end points. For example, the start point could be where you are standing [A], and

the end point [B] is where you want to locate the backhaul mast. The Direction of Travel

arrow should point towards the end point (mast location).

2While holding the compass on the map, turn the Degree Dial until the Meridian /

Orienting Lines are parallel with the Meridian lines on the map. This is the same as

turning the Degree Dial until the Orienting Arrow points to north on the map.

Figure F–2 Declination Indication on Map

CAUTION

Placing magnetic objects near a compass can cause an incorrect reading

(deviation). Examples include:

• Objects that contain steel and iron such as pocket knives, belt buckles,

vehicles, railroad tracks, and ore deposits in the Earth

• Objects that use magnets such as stereo speakers

• Electrical current in cables and overhead lines

F. Using a Compass

3Adjust for declination.

●If you have an adjustable compass – Move the Orienting Arrow to the right or left by

the declination number. When you align the magnetic needle with the Orienting

Arrow, the declination is accounted for.

●If you do not have an adjustable compass – Mark the declination on your compass

with a piece of tape. Align the magnetic needle with the tape mark.

●Adjust the Orienting Arrow to the left or right. For example:

►For a declination of 0, no adjustment is necessary.

►For a declination of 9 (9 degrees East), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a

tape mark) to the right 9 degrees.

►For a declination of -9 (9 degrees West), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a

tape mark) to the left 9 degrees.

4Pick up the compass and adjust the cover so the angle of the cover to the base is

between 45 and 70 degrees.

5Hold the base of the compass in the palm of your hand. Keep the compass level. Turn

your entire body and the compass until the red end of the Magnetic Needle is aligned

with the red end (north end) of Orienting Arrow.

6While holding the compass at eye level, keep the compass level and align your

destination with the sight notch on the top of the case.

7Ensure that the sighting line in the mirror passes through the center of the compass

wheel.

I.1.1.4 Entreposage

Un entreposage et un entretien adéquats des batteries au lithium-ion est indispensable pour

optimiser leur durée de vie utile et éviter une défaillance catastrophique. Respecter les

précautions suivantes en matière d'entreposage :

Retirer les batteries de l'unité distante sans fil avant l'entreposage

Température d'entreposage recommandée des batteries au lithium-ion :

●De -20°C à +45°C durant une période maximum d'un mois

●De -20°C à +35°C durant 6 mois maximum ; passé ce délai, les blocs-batteries

doivent être rechargés à plus de 50 % de leur capacité

●L'entreposage à basses températures ralentit la décharge naturelle et la perte de

capacité au fil du temps. Entreposer les batteries à 25°C ou moins si possible

Niveaux de charge d'entreposage recommandés :

●Charger (ou décharger) les batteries à un niveau de charge de 30 % à 50 % avant

de les entreposer. Des niveaux de charge inférieurs ou supérieurs peuvent réduire la

durée de vie des batteries.

●Ne jamais entreposer des batteries entièrement déchargées, sauf en cas

d'élimination.

●Un chargement périodique est nécessaire pour maintenir une charge de 30 % à 50 %

en cas d'entreposage de longue durée

Entreposer les batteries dans un endroit bien aéré

Ne pas laisser les batteries inutilisées pendant de longues durées, qu'elles soient dans le

produit ou placées en entreposage. Si une batterie n'a pas été utilisée pendant 6 mois,

vérifier l'état de charge et charger ou éliminer la batterie, le cas échéant.

Vérifier régulièrement l'état de charge de la batterie

Envisager le remplacement de la batterie par une nouvelle en cas de constat d'une des

conditions suivantes :

●L'autonomie de la batterie descend en dessous d'environ 80 % de son autonomie

initiale

●Le temps de charge de la batterie augmente sensiblement

I.1.2 Chargement des batteries au lithium-ion
