Section 1 – Introduction
1.1 General Operational Safety Precautions
This Safety Manual provides information and safety precautions for operating and servicing
Sonardyne products. Sonardyne products can contain hazardous energy and must only be opened by
qualified service personnel.
Operators and Service personnel must be familiar with the information detailed in this manual before
using or servicing Sonardyne equipment.
Additional information including warnings and cautions (if applicable) is included in the relevant
product user, operating or maintenance manual for the specific equipment and must be read and fully
understood before operating the equipment.
Documentation must be consulted whenever the warning symbol is found on the equipment, in
order to find out the nature of the potential hazard and any precautions which have to be taken.
Sonardyne equipment should not be used outside of the manufacturer’s specifications as the
equipment could be damaged or its operation impaired.
The safety of any system incorporating any Sonardyne equipment is the responsibility of the
assembler of the system.
It is the operator’s responsibility to conduct Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis for all conditions.
1.2 General Safety Precautions

The general safety precautions that follow are not equipment or installation specific.
Before the installation or use of equipment the facilities local Health and Safety legislation, regulations,
Safe Working Procedures and Practices must be understood and followed.
All procedures and practices contained in this Safety Manual must be read and fully understood.
It is the RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL PERSONS working on or near an installation to make sure they:
l Work with and obey all persons that have responsibilities for the safe operation of the
applicable installation.
l Report any defect of any equipment that can cause danger to the health, safety or welfare of
persons that work on or may be affected by the installation or equipment.
l Use equipment only for the purpose for which it is intended.
l Do not act in a way on or near the installation, that could cause a danger to you or other
persons that work on or near the installation.
l Do not cause any equipment used on or near an installation to be unsafe.
l Do not remove any WARNING signs without permissions.
l Do not remove or alter any safety equipment without permissions.
l Do not disconnect or connect any power source without permissions.
1.2.1 Hazard Appreciation

Subsea equipment remains safe in use when operated and handled within standard operating
procedures and written guidelines, therefore in normal operation little threat is posed to the safety of
personnel or instruments. However, all subsea units are capable of posing a threat to personal safety,
particularly when pressure housings become internally pressurised. Great care must be taken when
this happens, or is suspected to have happened, since the pressures present within the instrument are
likely to be extremely high. Internal pressure problems may also be aggravated by unknown chemical
hazards if battery breakdown has occurred.
l The following non-exhaustive list gives examples of typical hazardous situations:
l All deteriorated/failed batteries (not just lithium batteries)
l High voltages being present when the equipment is transmitting, particularly on the transmitter
PCB and transducer.
l A pressure housing becoming internally pressurised by water pressure due to a leak
l A pressure housing becoming internally pressurised due to battery failure
l Charging of non-rechargeable battery packs/cells
l Using equipment or instrumentation outside the design parameters
l Using equipment or instrumentation beyond the load bearing limits
l Failing to maintain equipment reducing its load bearing capability
l Using unauthorised components or inferior parts in critical assemblies, e.g. release systems,
battery packs etc.
1.3 General Handling of Equipment

Do not allow instruments to be dropped or exposed to shock damage which can cause sensitive
internal components to fail. Note that minor damage to metal finishes often creates burrs which can
present a hazard to unprotected hands, other parts of the body and to components such as O-rings.
Control the local working environment with good house-keeping practices to prevent slips, trips or
falls, and make sure ropes or cables which are attached to equipment are positioned safely to prevent
entanglement.
Do not allow any tools or equipment to block any access routes or impede normal traffic flows in a
gangway or on a stairway.
Water tightness of instruments depends on fine surface finishes, accurate dimensional tolerances and
cleanliness of components. When dismantling equipment care should always be taken to protect
surface finishes. The disassembly process should be carried out in a well-ventilated area with as few
personnel in the vicinity as possible.
Servicing must always be carried out by suitably qualified and experienced personnel.
.
Section 2 – Pressure Housings

2.1 Introduction
Subsea equipment fitted with a pressure housing is subject to a vast range of externally applied
pressures and is susceptible to internal pressure build up, for example, if a leak occurs or the
instrument’s battery malfunctions/fails, resulting in venting. Internal pressure presents a potentially
dangerous situation and all appropriate safety measures must be enforced.
WARNINGS
Fumes given off by malfunctioning/failed batteries, particularly lithium based, pose a health
hazard. Make sure the area is well ventilated and the appropriate personal protective equipment, such
as gloves, aprons and goggles, are worn.
When an instrument has leaked it often behaves like a valve, i.e. water pressure causes a rise in
internal pressure which cannot then escape because the point of leakage becomes sealed. When this
happens the instrument is potentially dangerous and all precautions described in this section must be
followed.
Any instrument recovered that is not operable should be suspected of leaking and being flooded.
There may be no prior indication of the presence of a build-up of internal pressure. First indications
may be the endcap(s) of the instrument being forced out of the housing under pressure during the
dismantling process.
Complete removal of an endcap’s retaining mechanism means it becomes unconstrained and
therefore free to be discharged from its housing under high internal pressure; an uncontrolled and
potentially dangerous situation.
Symptoms that indicate a higher risk of internal pressure include:
l Equipment that failed when deployed, in transit or storage.
l Equipment stored for a long time with batteries connected.
l Equipment having suffered physical damage.
WARNING
Do not transport equipment that is internally pressurised.
2.2 Instruments fitted with a Pressure Relief Vent Valve

Pressure relief vent valves are fitted into all subsea equipment housings containing batteries. They
comprise a valve with dual O-rings and a vent hole behind the second O-ring. The pressure relief vent
valve is designed so it can operate automatically to release any internal pressure, or it can be manually
withdrawn, using a screw, to the point where the relief hole becomes open to the atmosphere and
allows internal pressure to dissipate. The valve is normally retained to the instrument by means of a
retaining spring preventing it from being completely extracted.
A normal functioning instrument may emit a short audible rush of air when the pressure relief vent
valve is operated. A longer rush of air/gas indicates a pressurised instrument, in which case the work
area must be ventilated while the air/gas is discharged. Internal pressure dissipates to atmosphere in
a very short time and may be accompanied by water, debris, fumes, noise etc.

WARNING
Risk of Toxic Gases. When operating the pressure release vent valve, ensure the work
environment is well ventilated and only necessary authorised personnel are present as toxic gases
may be released. Ensure personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection are worn.
2.3 Instruments not fitted with a Pressure Relief Vent Valve

Some older Sonardyne instruments are not fitted with a pressure relief vent valve.
If an instrument indicates, or is suspected of being pressurised and does not have a pressure relief
vent valve fitted, contact the Sonardyne Emergency Support Line (+44 (0) 1252 877600) in the first
instance for advice on the correct course of action to follow.
2.4 Dismantling Precautions (Instrument fully functioning)

The techniques for retaining endcaps in the pressure housings differ for instrument types; refer to the
instrument's user manual for the dismantling procedure.
The normal procedure before opening any underwater instrument is to wash the instrument in clean
fresh water to remove any salt, sand/silt and marine growth and then dry it with a lint free cloth. The
instrument should only be opened in a clean, well-ventilated, dry area.
To ease dismantling and release any slight internal pressure that may have built up during normal
operation, the pressure relief vent valve should be operated as described in Instruments fitted with a
Pressure Relief Vent Valve on the previous page and in the instrument’s user manual.
WARNING
Do not stand directly in front of the end cap during removal. There is potential for the endcap to
be ejected forcibly without notice due to internal pressure.
2.5 Dismantling Precautions (instrument known or suspected to be

pressurised)
The techniques for retaining endcaps in the pressure housings differ for instrument types; refer to the
instrument's user manual for the dismantling procedure.
The normal procedure before opening any underwater instrument is to wash the instrument in clean
fresh water to remove any salt, sand/silt and marine growth and then dry it with a lint free cloth. The
instrument should only be opened in a clean, well-ventilated, dry area.
If an instrument is known, or suspected to be internally pressurised through water ingress or battery
failure, additional precautions must be taken.
Remove the instrument to a well-ventilated location away from other working personnel.
WARNING
Do not attempt to dismantle or perform any maintenance activity on an instrument that has a hot
housing. The instrument must be cooled before proceeding.
If the instrument housing is hot, this indicates recent or current active internal chemical action and it
must not be dismantled. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and
lower the instrument overboard into the water for several hours or until it has cooled. Refer to the
battery manufacturer’s SDS/BIS (see Safety Datasheets/Battery Information Sheets on page 22).

To release internal pressure operate the pressure relief vent valve as described in Instruments fitted
with a Pressure Relief Vent Valve on page 9. If there is no significant pressure dissipation and no
fumes indicating a battery failure, the instrument can be dismantled; refer to the instrument's user
manual for the dismantling procedure. If a pressure relief vent valve is not fitted follow the precautions
described in Instruments not fitted with a Pressure Relief Vent Valve on the previous page.
If chemical fumes are present when the pressure relief vent valve is released, or there are deposits
around the vent exterior, these are signs that the battery has vented due to water ingress or battery
failure. In these circumstances the battery pack and internal electronics may have been severely
damaged.
Take extreme care when removing the endcap. There may be a possibility of some internal pressure
remaining, due to the pressure relief vent valve being blocked with products of the internal chemical
reaction.
If a removed battery is found to be leaking, it must be placed in a sealable plastic bag and covered with
a mixture of neutralizing agent (soda ash or baking soda) and absorbent material (vermiculite) and
then placed in a secondary bag for additional containment. The battery should be classified as
hazardous waste and disposed of in accordance with local health and safety, and environmental
regulations.
Any spilled electrolyte must be absorbed/neutralized using absorbent material and neutralizing agent.
The contaminated absorbent must be placed into a sealable bag and then placed in a secondary bag
for additional containment, and disposed as hazardous waste. The contaminated area can be cleaned
with water or an ammonia-based cleaner.
The electronics, end caps and pressure housings should be thoroughly cleaned with fresh water.

Section 3 – Electronic Hazards

3.1 High Voltages
3.1.1 High Voltage Awareness
Operation of Sonardyne equipment does not present any danger to users in normal use. Where
permitted, if the internal electronics chassis is removed from its housing for maintenance, high
voltages are present when transmitting, particularly on the transmitter PCB and transducer. The
following warning symbol , when found on the equipment, indicates high voltage awareness is
required.
3.1.2 Storage Capacitors

Subsea equipment incorporates capacitors which are capable of storing large quantities of electrical
energy. Avoid contact or inadvertent discharge during dismantling.
3.1.3 Handling of Electronic Components

Most of the circuits in subsea equipment use CMOS logic, which is easily damaged by static discharge
or excessive supply voltage. The best action for electronics is no handling.
CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions (grounded wrist strap) must be taken before handling
circuit boards or modules.
Field servicing cannot compare in efficiency and accuracy with the original factory calibration and
therefore field servicing should be limited to checking correct calibration/operation (within the limits of
the test gear available) and repair by exchange of PCBs or modules.
Section 3 – Electronic Hazards 12

Section 4 – Batteries
4.1 Use of Appropriate Battery Types
WARNING
Do not fit unauthorised battery pack types into equipment.
Battery packs must not be reconfigured from one type to another, e.g. NiMH to alkaline or lithium
as this may lead to alkaline or lithium cells being inadvertently charged.
Sonardyne equipment uses a variety of battery types including: rechargeable, alkaline and lithium
based packs. Instruments must not be fitted with alternative battery pack types unless they are
specifically designed to use them.
Note
Damage caused by using unauthorised battery packs will invalidate any warranty.
To identify the type of battery installed, a label is attached on the outside of the equipment. Examples
of the labels used are shown below:
Figure 4–1 Example of a Lithium Battery Identification Label
Figure 4–2 Example of a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery Identification Label
Figure 4–3 Example of an Alkaline Battery Identification Label
4.2 Primary Lithium (Li) Batteries

4.2.1 Lithium Battery Types
Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries are often referred to as lithium metal batteries.
Two types of primary lithium cells (LS and LSH) are used throughout Sonardyne products depending
on the application requirements. The LS cell types used are: LS26500 (Size C), LS33600 (Size D)
and LS14500 (Size AA).
The LSH cells are designed for applications requiring higher continuous currents. The LSH cell types
used are: LSH14 (Size C) and LSH20 (Size D).
4.2.2 Safety Precautions for Primary Lithium (Li) Batteries

WARNINGS
Fire, explosion and burn hazard. Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above
100°C, incinerate or expose battery contents to water.
Lithium based batteries become hazardous (fire and corrosion) if exposed to air and water and if
damaged may emit fumes. Consult the battery manufacturer's Safety Datasheet/Battery Information
Sheet prior to operating lithium based battery products.
Special precautions and regulations apply to the transport, handling and disposal of primary Lithium
products; see Transporting Primary Lithium Batteries on the next page.
Lithium batteries are powerful sources of electrical energy and should be handled with care to avoid
short-circuiting.
When a battery powered underwater instrument is suspected of flooding, extreme caution must be
exercised when opening the instrument in case it is internally pressurised; see Dismantling
Precautions (Instrument fully functioning) on page 10 and Dismantling Precautions (instrument known
or suspected to be pressurised) on page 10.
Safety Datasheets/Battery Information Sheets for primary lithium cells and batteries are shown in
Lithium Cells and Batteries on page 22.
Primary lithium cell specifications are shown in Lithium Cells on page 38.
4.2.3 Fault Procedures

WARNINGS
If a cell is ruptured, potentially flammable materials may be exposed.
For primary lithium battery packs, CO2 extinguishers or, even preferably, copious quantities of
water or water based foam, can be used to cool down burning LI-SOCI2 cells and batteries, as long as
the extent of the fire has not progressed to the point that the lithium metal they contain is exposed
(marked by deep red flames). Do not use for this purpose sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite
powder or fire blankets. Use only metal (Class D) extinguishers on raw lithium.
There is a risk of burns and injury when handling hot batteries; suitable personal protective
equipment, such as gloves, aprons and goggles, must be worn.
If a cell or battery is shorted or starts to heat up, it should be disconnected from the transponder
immediately and removed to the outdoors or to a well-ventilated area to cool down. Tongs, or a shovel,
are recommended for this purpose. Should the battery overheat significantly or catch fire, use the fire-
fighting media as described in in the above Warning, or the cell manufacturer’s safety datasheet. Once
the temperature has dropped and it is deemed safe to do so, the cell or battery can be disposed of as
described in Disposal of Primary Lithium Batteries on the next page.
Charging of Non-Rechargeable Battery Packs
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries or battery packs.
Non-rechargeable cells exhibit a range of unpredictable characteristics if any attempt is made to

charge them. Very high pressures and temperatures can occur in an instrument often some-time after
the attempt to charge them has terminated.
Attempts to charge a primary battery may lead to an imbalance within the cell potentially leading to gas
generation and in extreme cases explosion.
4.2.4 Primary Lithium Batteries Storage Instructions

Primary Lithium batteries should be stored in their original containers, in a clean, dry, cool, ventilated
area, where the temperature should be as cool as possible to maximise shelf life and not exceed 30°C.
CAUTION
Battery life may be reduced if exposed to temperatures in excess of 30°C.
Instruments with batteries installed should not be left on deck in strong sunlight such that they become
hot to the touch.
Observe the manufacturers minimum and maximum storage temperatures.
Store all primary lithium battery packs in an isolated area, away from combustible materials. Store
depleted cells in an area separate from fresh cells. Allow space for complete encapsulation with Lith-X
in the event of a fire.
Any primary lithium battery storage area should have immediate access to both a class D and an ABC
fire extinguisher. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications for extinguishing fires containing
this battery type.
Instruments should be cooled to normal room temperature or lower before being opened for battery
replacement.
4.2.5 Transporting Primary Lithium Batteries

The current regulations and the information below is provided for guidance only. Note that datasheets
concerning quantities of lithium per cell are available from cell manufacturers and these may change
without prior notice, therefore the quantities of lithium per battery pack cannot be verified by
Sonardyne Ltd.
When transporting lithium based products it is the operator’s responsibility to comply with local,
national and international regulations in force at the time of transport.
l By Road: ADR European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous
Goods by Road Regulations (http://www.unece.org)
l By Sea: International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (http://www.imo.org)
l By Air: IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (http://www.iata.org)
Transportation Certificates for cells are shown in . The certificates detail nominal voltage, capacity,
energy and the equivalent Lithium Metal content. Transportation certificates for battery packs used in
Sonardyne equipment are available on request from Sonardyne Support.
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Section II, Packing Instructions 967, Note A154 states that
lithium batteries identified by the manufacturer as being defective for safety reasons, or that have been
damaged, that have the potential of producing a dangerous evolution of heat, fire or short circuit are
forbidden for transport.
4.2.6 Disposal of Primary Lithium Batteries

WARNING
Do not dispose of primary Lithium batteries in a fire as there is a potential risk of battery
explosion.
Cells and batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local health and safety, and environmental
regulations regarding hazardous substances. Packaging suitable for the storage and transport of
Lithium cells/batteries must be used at all times when not installed in an instrument.
Suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, apron and goggles, should be worn when
handling suspect cells/batteries. If the skin has come into contact with the electrolyte, it should be
washed thoroughly with clean water.
4.3 Lithium Ion (Li+) Batteries

In a lithium ion (li-ion) cell, the negative electrode (anode) is graphite and the positive electrode
(cathode) is a lithium-bearing metal compound. Li-ion cells have an exceptional cycling aptitude owing
to the stable electrode structure. Charging and discharging involves exchange of lithium ions between
the electrodes via the electrolyte. Because of the high output voltage (up to 4.2 V), a non-aqueous
electrolyte is used, mainly comprising a mixture of organic carbonates.
Safety Information for li-ion cells and batteries are shown in Lithium-ion Cells and Batteries on
page 31.
Li-ion cell specifications are shown in Lithium-ion Cells on page 38.
4.3.1 Safety Precautions for Lithium Ion (Li+) Batteries

Refer to Safety Precautions for Primary Lithium (Li) Batteries on page 14.
WARNINGS
Only charge li-ion batteries using the charging equipment supplied; do not attempt to charge
li-ion batteries using any other type of charging equipment.
4.3.2 Fault Procedures

Refer to Fault Procedures on page 14.
WARNING
Dry chemical type or CO2 extinguishers, Halon, or copious quantities of water or water-based
foam can be used to cool down burning li-ion cells and batteries. During water application, caution
should be exercised as burning pieces of flammable particles may be ejected from the fire. In case of
fire, it is recommended to wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid contact with irritant
fumes. Evacuate all persons from immediate area of fire. Do not re-enter the area until it has been
adequately purged of the fire vapour and extinguishing agent.
4.3.3 Lithium Ion Batteries Storage Instructions

Refer to Primary Lithium Batteries Storage Instructions on the previous page
When charging li-ion batteries for the first time after long-term storage, deactivation of reactants may
lead to increased battery voltage and decreased battery capacity. It is possible to restore batteries to
their original performance by repeating several cycles of charging and discharging.
For long-term storage of more than one year, li-ion batteries should be charged at least once a year to
prevent leakage and deterioration in performance due to self-discharging. Batteries stored whilst
connected to equipment and batteries containing sophisticated battery management electronics may
need to be monitored and charged several times a year to avoid technical and performance difficulties.
4.3.4 Transporting Lithium Ion Batteries

Transporting Lithium Ion Batteries above
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations Section II, Packing Instructions 967, Note A164 states that
li-ion batteries and cells contained in equipment, must have the battery electrically disconnected and
exposed terminals protected before transportation.
4.3.5 Disposal of Lithium Ion Batteries

Refer to Disposal of Primary Lithium Batteries on the previous page.
4.4 Alkaline and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries

Other battery types installed in Sonardyne equipment are Alkaline and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH).
4.4.1 Alkaline Batteries

WARNING
Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries.
Alkaline batteries are non-rechargeable. They must be disposed of as hazardous waste, in

accordance with local health and safety, and environmental regulations.
4.4.2 Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries

WARNING
Only charge NiMH batteries using the charging equipment supplied; do not attempt to charge
NiMH batteries using any other type of charging equipment.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are rechargeable. Sonardyne supplies the correct charging
equipment with any euipment containing NiMH batteries.
NiMH batteries should be replaced when they fail to hold their charge. They must be disposed of as
hazardous waste, in accordance with local health and safety, and environmental regulations.
4.5 Charging Batteries in Sealed Containers

Batteries may give off gases when charged. As a general rule, sealed containers must be allowed to
vent to atmosphere during the charging process.
Some equipment may be fitted with safety features which prevent the possibility of problems caused
by gases vented by batteries. Refer to the equipment user manual for the correct charging procedure.
Equipment fitted with a pressure relief vent valve must be checked to make sure the vent valve is
seated properly following recharging of the batteries.
4.6 Reconnecting a Partially Used Battery

When reconnecting a partially used battery, calculate if the remaining battery life will allow the next
mission to be safely accomplished. If so, note the date of reconnection, both on the battery label and in
written records, against the serial number of the instrument.
4.7 Batteries – End of Life

Discharging batteries below their end point voltage can lead to internal corrosion and leakage of
electrolyte in certain types of cells. Although there is very little gas to cause a pressure rise under these
conditions, the electrolyte leakage will cause severe corrosion.
After recovering an instrument, the battery voltage(s) should be checked while still connected to see if
it is above the end point voltage for that type of cell. Disconnect and mark as usable or not with date of
disconnection noted both on the pack and in written records. Check the instrument, including solder
joints for signs of corrosion.
The remaining life of a battery depends on both time and, for a transponder, the number of times it has
been interrogated. Some transponders keep their own record of battery usage, but a separate record
should be maintained consisting of time elapsed whilst battery is installed and connected, plus
estimates of the number of interrogations .
4.8 Fitting a New Battery

Refer to the equipment user manual for the instructions on how to fit a new battery.
Make a note of the date when a new battery is connected. Write this date on the battery label and also
in your written records.
4.9 Battery Pack Fuses

A number of Sonardyne battery packs have carefully selected, highly-reliabile fuses soldered onto the
diode-board of the pack. The fuses can be either resettable “Polyfuse” devices, or "Littelfuse" devices.
If a fuse has blown due to mishandling, it may be replaced by an identicaly specified fuse type; the
rating must not on any account be increased.

Section 5 – Equipment Environmental Limitations

5.1 Storage Temperature Limits
Equipment must be stored according to the specifications quoted in the equipment manual/datasheet.
It should be noted however that lines connecting pressure transducers to a transponder may become
partly filled with seawater during service. This cannot easily be expelled and may therefore freeze if
transponders are stored at sub-zero temperatures after recovery from the sea.
Batteries should be stored in their original containers, in a clean, dry, cool, ventilated area, where the
temperature should be as cool as possible to maximise shelf life and not exceed 30°C. Refer to the
battery manufacturers specifications for battery storage.
5.2 Instrument Load Bearing Capability

Navigational Transponders are not normally designed to take in-line loads greater than the maximum
upthrust applied by the floatation equipment. The carrying straps, if fitted, are for ease of manual
handling and the range of transducer guards selected for their acoustic properties.
WARNING
Do not exceed the Working Load Limit capabilities of release mechanisms, or additional lifting
equipment.
The Working Load Limit (WLL) capability of the release mechanism built into many instruments, can
only be used for in-line lifting operations if a suitably-rated, approved, lifting strap, transducer guard,
buoyancy collar eyes or other safe method is selected.
It is the responsibility of the Responsible Body at the worksite to make sure the condition of the
equipment is acceptable and that a safe lifting method has been devised for any particular operation.
Sonardyne’s range of Oceanographic Release Transponders have been designed specifically for in-
line lifting operations.
Appropriate shackles must be used in release systems to ensure freedom from corrosion. It is
important to note that instruments, their release mechanisms and shackles form part of an integrated
and complete system.
5.3 Floatation Equipment

5.3.1 Introduction
Floatation equipment is fitted to subsea transponders in order to aid their recovery once a deployment
is complete. A nett up-thrust requirement is given in manuals and technical data for any particular
instrument. The following guidelines are given to assist operators in their understanding of the general
requirements.
5.3.2 Float Inspection

The float lifting eyes and attachment bolts can be susceptible to corrosion. To guarantee safe
operation, the float lifting eyes and attachment bolts must be inspected prior to use, any indication of
corrosion and the lifting eyes and bolts must be replaced.
5.3.3 Minimum Nett Buoyancy of Floats

Floats are described as having a minimum nett buoyancy in seawater and this is the figure quoted in
Sonardyne float technical data and by the float manufacturer. Total up-thrust can be calculated by

knowing this figure, e.g., a float with 30 kilogram nett buoyancy in sea water supporting a load with
weight in sea water of 30 kilogram would result in neutral buoyancy, i.e. no nett up-thrust.
5.3.4 Float Inserts

Float collar Inserts are used to allow floats of larger internal bore to be used with housings of nominal
six inches diameter. The weight in water of an insert is usually slightly positive and this will be
additional to the weight of the instrument being supported by the float. Two inserts will result in
approximately 0.5 kilogram reduction in nett up-thrust.
Nett Upthrust
The difference between the nett buoyancy of the float and the total weight of an object, or objects, in
water that it is supporting, e.g.
Nett Upthrust = (minimum nett buoyancy of the float) - (the weight of the instrument + the float inserts
in water)
e.g. 30 kg - (11.2+ 0.5) kg = 17.3 kg nett upthrust
Float Storage Conditions
Floats should be stored within the temperature range -6 to +65°C. Floats are not hygroscopic and
should not therefore be affected by moisture in air.
CAUTION
Do not stack the floats on top of each other or store in direct sunlight.
Float Over-Pressure
The maximum water depth quoted for a float must not be exceeded. Over-pressured floats are forced
to absorb water and their weight in air thus increases. All floats should be weighed prior to use to
check that they are maintaining their original manufactured weight.

February 2018 – Version 2.0 – Li-SOCl2 single cells and multi-cell battery systems Page 1
2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
The Li-SOCl2 batteries described in this Battery Information Sheet are sealed units which are not hazardous under normal
operating conditions in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations, as stated in the user’s manual or other similar
documentation. Under normal use, the battery integrity is maintained and the active components it contains are isolated
from the outside.
In particular, the battery should not be submitted to any mechanical (opening, puncture, immersion), thermal (burning,
heating to temperatures above the normal temperature range of the product) or electrical abuse (short-circuit, recharge,
forced discharge), which will lead to the activation of safety valves and/or the rupture of the battery container.
Any accidental release of the inner components of the cell, or their combustion products could be highly hazardous. Battery
content exposition to air humidity/liquid water may be followed by severe battery vent/explosion/fire, depending on the
hazard causes and circumstances.
Protection from charging:

Whenever lithium batteries are not the single power source in a circuit, the following measures recommended by
Underwriters Laboratories are relevant. The cells should not be connected with an electrical power source that would
increase the load through the cells. The electronic circuit shall include one of the following:
A. Two suitable diodes or the equivalent in series with the cells to prevent any reverse (charging) current. The second
diode is used to provide protection in the event that one would fail. Quality control, or equivalent procedures,
shall be established by the device manufacturer to check that the diode polarity is correct for each unit.
Or
B. A blocking diode or the equivalent to prevent any reverse (charging) current and a resistor to limit current in case
of diode failure. The resistor should be sized to limit the reverse (charging) current to the maximum value
according to the data sheet of the cell.
3. COMPOSITION, INFORMATION OR INGREDIENTS
Each unit cell consists of a hermetically sealed metallic can containing a number of chemicals and materials of construction
of which the following are potentially hazardous upon release to air.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES (not anticipated under normal use)
4.1 Electrolyte contact
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. In
severe cases, get medical attention.
INHALATION: Contents of an opened cell may cause respiratory tract and mucus membrane irritation. Remove from
exposure, rest and keep warm. Immediately inhale Cortisone spray. In severe cases, track medical surveillance for 48 hours.
INGESTION: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink. Get medical attention.
FURTHER TREATMENT: All cases of eye contamination, persistent skin irritation and casualties who have swallowed this
substance or have breathed its vapours should be seen by a Doctor.
4.2 Lithium metal contact

EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes, with open eyelids, and get medical
attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove particles of lithium from skin as quick as possible. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
INHALATION/INGESTION: Contents of an opened cell may cause respiratory tract and mucus membrane irritation. Remove
from exposure, rest and keep warm. Immediately inhale Cortisone spray. In severe cases, track medical surveillance for 48
hours.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES (not anticipated under normal use)
ESTINGUISHING MEDIA:
 During a fire with lithium batteries, using large amounts of cold water or water-based foam has some cooling
effect and is effective to prevent fire expansion as long as the extent of the fire has not progressed to the point
that the lithium metal they contain is exposed (as marked by appearance of deep red flames). Do not use warm or
hot water.
 Lith-X Class D extinguishers are effective on fires involving only a few lithium batteries.
 Do not use CO2 or Halon-type extinguishers.
 Do not use sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite powder or fire blankets.
 Use only class D metal extinguishers on raw lithium metal.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

 Fire fighters should wear approved/certified positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
 Full protective clothing is necessary to prevent potential body contact with electrolyte solution.
 During water spraying, caution is advised as burning pieces of lithium may be ejected from the fire.
 It is permissible to use any class of extinguishing medium, specified above, on these batteries or their packing
material. Cool exterior of batteries if exposed to fire to prevent rupture.
 If the cells or batteries are not located at the center of the fire, copious amounts of water may be supplied using a
diffuser type nozzle so that the cells remain cool during the fire containment and extinction. A sprinkler system
should be suitable for this purpose, the critical factor being that the lithium cells do not experience temperatures
above the melting point of lithium (180°C).
 Small amounts of water should never be used such as the volumes contained within portable fire extinguishers.
Standard dry powder extinguishers are ineffective. It should be kept in mind that a hazard of hydrogen formation
exists whenever hot lithium metal comes into contact with water.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (not anticipated under normal use)
INDIVIDUAL PRECAUTIONS: Evacuate the employees from area until fumes dissipate. In case of electrolyte leakage from a
cell or battery, do not inhale vapors or touch liquid with bare hands. In case of skin or eye contact, inhalation or ingestion,
follow the measured described in section 12.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTION: Avoid sewage, surface water and underground water contamination. Avoid ground and
atmosphere contamination.
WAYS OF CLEANING: With protective glasses and gloves, use absorbent material (sand, earth, chalk (CaCO3) or lime (CaO)
powder or Vermiculite) to absorb any exuded material. Seal leaking battery (unless hot) and contaminated absorbent
material tight in plastic bag, and dispose of as hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations. Electrolyte traces may
be wiped off dryly using household paper. Rinse with water afterwards.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Lithium-thionyle chloride batteries are not rechargeable and should not be tentatively charged or
recharged. Manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed regarding maximum current and operating
temperature range. Applying pressure or deforming the battery may lead to disassembly and cause eye, skin and throat
irritation.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, regulated (preferably below 21°C and in any case below 30°C), dry and ventilated area, away
from possible sources of heat, open flames, food and drink. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for long periods.
Temperatures above 100°C (or higher for High Temperatures cells and batteries such as the LSH20-150 cell- refer to
individual data sheets for maximum temperatures) may cause leakage and rupture, and result in shortened battery service
life. Keep proper clearance space between batteries and walls. Since short circuit can cause burn hazard, leakage or
explosion hazard, keep batteries in original packaging until use and do not mix them.
HANDLING:
 Do not open the battery system.
 Do not crush or pierce the cells.
 Do not short (+) or (-) terminal with conductors.
 Do not reverse the polarity.

· TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act):

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are a sub-requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Subpart 1910.1200. This Hazard Communication Standard does
not apply to various subcategories including anything defined by OSHA as an "article". OSHA has defined "article" as a
manufactured item other than a fluid or particle; (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture;
(ii) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end
use; and (iii) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very small quantities, e.g. minute or
trace amounts of a hazardous chemical, and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.
Because all of our batteries are defined as "articles", they are exempted from the requirements of the Hazard
Communication Standard.

Definitions
Definitions of Loads, Loading and General Terms
Term Definition
Breaking Load / The load that induces structural failure in one or more parts of the instrument causing the
Static Failure Load load to part from the release mechanism.
Competent Person An individual who, by way of training and/or experience, is knowledgeable of applicable
standards, is capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the specific operation,
is designated by the employer, and has authority to take appropriate actions.
Dynamic Load A time varying load resulting from the motion and inertia of connected masses and forcing
functions such as wave action on the vessel. This may include transient and steady state
harmonically alternating loads.
Maximum The maximum in-line load the whole assembly can release whilst guaranteeing safe and
Buoyancy for reliable operation. Note that as the load is released in water this is determined by the
Release / Release maximum up-thrust from the buoyancy.
Loads The maximum in-line load the instrument can withstand and successfully release without
overloading any part of the release mechanism or demanding an unsupportable quantity of
energy from the battery supply (at its specified end point).
Proof Load The load to which the actual unit has been tested in the factory. This load should be
periodically applied to demonstrate the unit is still in a safe condition. This is usually twice
the WLL.
Responsible Body The Responsible Body is the organisation responsible for Health and Safety for lifting
operations at the worksite.
Safe Working Load The maximum load (as determined by a competent person) that an item of lifting
(SWL) equipment may raise, lower or suspend under particular service conditions, e.g. the SWL
can be lower than, but can never exceed the WLL.
Shock Load or A time transient load generally caused by the sudden acceleration (positive or negative) of
Snatch Load the load. Examples are the sudden snatch of a load off the deck or a sudden arrest of a
load falling under gravity.
Static Load An unvarying long term load
Working Load Limit The maximum recommended working load. This is set as a maximum 25% of the
(WLL) Breaking Load and allows for factors such as corrosion, fatigue shock loads, harmonic
loads, manufacturing defects and material defects. Please note this does not account for
extreme offshore service conditions.
