Product Notes
AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801542 

and

AF24173 Anti-Foulant Device - PN 801347

Anti-foulant devices are used with Sea-Bird conductivity cells:
  • PN 801542 began shipping with ALACE CTDs as of January 10, 2005, and with all other CTDs during 2006.
  • PN 801347 shipped with all applicable instruments prior to January 10, 2005, and continued to ship with instruments other then ALACE CTDs through 2005 and part of 2006.
DC-4 Use to fill blind end of screw holes in aluminum and plastic housings -- prevents seawater from filling the space and causing hardware and housing corrosion, and prevents growth of salt crystals that can cause stuck hardware
DC-200 Oil for pressure port refill. See Application Note 12-1 for use with SBE 9 and 9plus, 16 (not 16plus), 19 (not 19plus), 25, and 29; see SBE 26, 26plus, or 53 manuals for use with those instruments.
Blue Moly Prevents corrosion and binding of hardware in aluminum and titanium housings
Panasonic Lithium Battery BR-2/3A
**
BR-2/3A is used as back-up in instruments that have a lithium battery to back-up buffer and real-time clock in event of main battery failure or exhaustion:

MicroCAT (SBE 37-IM, 37-IMP, 37-SM, and 37-SMP) and SBE 44 use a battery pack comprised of six parallel 9-volt batteries. Each 9-volt battery contains three BR-2/3A. See MicroCAT or SBE 44 manual for shipping precautions for battery pack.

SBE 43 uses two BR-2/3A to maintain continuous polarization.
Panasonic Lithium Battery CR ** On SBE 43 PCB.
Ultralife Lithium Battery 9 Volt ** Power supply for SBE 39 (all serial numbers) and 39-IM (serial numbers 3089 through 3100).
Saft AA Lithium Battery 3.6 Volt ** Two of these batteries are used for power supply for 39-IM (serial numbers greater than 3100). See SBE 39-IM manual for shipping precautions for batteries.
Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cad) Battery Ni-Cad battery pack is optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, and 25
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery ** NiMH battery pack is standard equipment for SBE 17plus V2; optional equipment for SBE 19, 19plus, and 25
Sorb-It Desiccant For placement inside electronics housings to absorb moisture
Super-O-Lube For lubricating O-rings and mating surfaces
Triton X-100 Octyl Phenol Ethoxylate, for cleaning conductivity cells (see Application Note 2D) and SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (see Application Note 64)
Potassium Chloride and Silver Chloride Electrolyte solution for SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
