Note: Become thoroughly familiar with the information in this ap-
pendix before attempting to operate your HERMIT 2000.
Unpacking and Inspection
Your HERMIT 2000 is another example of the quality and attention
to detail in engineering and construction that have become a trade-
mark of In-Situ instrumentation. Each instrument is thoroughly
tested and calibrated by people who are dedicated to providing you
with the best possible product and service.
Your HERMIT 2000 was carefully inspected before shipping and
should be ready to operate right out of the box. Check the instru-
ment for any physical damage sustained during shipment. Notify
In-Situ and file a claim with the carriers involved if there is any
such damage; do not attempt to operate the instrument.
Please check to ensure that you have received
all of the standard accessories included with
the HERMIT 2000. Review the list of standard
accessories in Appendix A. If any accessory
items are missing, please contact In-Situ im-
mediately.

Note: Transducers and other optional acces-
sories are shipped separately and should also
be inspected for physical damage and the ful-
fillment of your order.
Please save all packing materials and accom-
panying shipping documents. Due to the
lithium battery pack used in the HERMIT
2000, it must always be shipped in its origi-
nal carton and with the necessary documen-
tation.
Rear Panel
Understanding the connector panel layout of your HERMIT 2000 is
important for safe and efficient operation. The connectors are la-
beled in the photograph below. Depending on the instrument’s con-
figuration, some input channel connectors may not be present.
Although the connectors are water-resistant even without their pro-
tective caps, the connecting pins are subject to damage by dirt and
other foreign objects unless the connectors are properly attached to
a mating cable or protective cap.
Always cap a connector when it
is not in use.
Installing Transducers and Accessories
All rear panel connectors are labeled and keyed so that mating cables
and accessories fit only one way; never try to force a connection. It is
possible to accidentally plug a cable or accessory into the wrong con-
nector (e.g., external power into an input channel), but
don’t worry,
you can’t damage the HERMIT 2000 or its accessories with any
wrong combination of connections.
