CHAPTER 3: MINIWIPER 

3.1 Overview 

The miniWIPER is intended to provide a gentle wiping of the Cyclops-7oxygensensitive membrane 
at user-programmable intervals. Customers will be required to open the wiper to set the wiper 
interval or to exchange the batteries. This chapter describes the wiper internal features. 

3.2 Opening and Closing the Wiper 

The wiper circuitry is contained in a waterproof housing that must be opened. The housing is opened 
by unscrewing the white pressure housing from the black end cap. Turn the pressure housing 
counter clockwise relative to black end cap. Close by reversing this procedure after being sure that 
the o-ring is free from debris. Lube o-ring occasionally with grease intended for buna-N o-ring 
material. 

Please attempt to handle the miniWIPER only by the aluminum chassis, without touching the circuit 
card. 

When closing the miniWIPER just screw the white cylinder onto the black end cap until the cylinder 
just touches the end cap. Do not tighten! miniWIPER tends to get a little tighter during deployment. 

3.3 Electrical Connections and Controls  

Removal of the cover reveals the wiper connections and controls, shown below. 

 

The 

LED Light

 is a red or green LED. This is used to indicate different features described elsewhere 

in this manual.
