Sensors
Sound Velocity Measurement
Utilising Valeport's latest design for the world's most accurate sound velocity sensor, each
measurement is made using a single pulse of sound travelling over a precisely known distance,
so is independent of the inherent calculation errors present in CTD calculated data. Valeport's
unique digital signal processing technique virtually eliminates signal noise, and gives almost
instantaneous response; the digital measurement is also entirely linear, giving predictable
performance under all conditions.

Interfacing to a PC
There are two methods of connecting a SWiFT to a PC:
1. A wired connection using the supplied USB cable
2. Bluetooth if the PC supports it natively or with the supplied USB key.
USB CommsThe SWiFT contains a USB-Serial FDTI chip. When the SWiFT is first plugged into the USB port of a
PC it will install the relevant FTDI drivers.
Note:
If automatic installation does not work, drivers can be found in the DataLog x2 folder on the
supplied USB key
The SWiFT will be assigned a comm port (e.g. comm 10) and on every subsequent connection it
will retain this port.
To find out the comm port of a connected SWiFT, access the devices and printers selection from
Windows Control Panel.
In the Unspecified section you will find “SWiFT SVP xxxxx” where xxxxx is the serial number.
Right click and select Properties, next select the Hardware tab and you will see the assigned
comm port.
DataLog x2 will then be able to communicate with and configure the SWiFT SVP using the
configured comm port.
SWiFT SVP - Operating ManualPage 12
© 2016 Valeport Ltd
Bluetooth CommunicationSWiFT is fitted with a Bluetooth 4.0 LE chip. This allows short range wireless comms with a hand
held device running the Valeport SWiFT App. Using the App will allow the instrument to be
configured and recorded data downloaded.
The reliable range of the Bluetooth comms is 5 to 10m.
The SWiFT is supplied with a LAIRD BT900-US Bluetooth Key. This is preloaded with custom software
to enable it to communicate reliably with the SWiFT and each Key is pre-paired to the SWiFT that
it is supplied with. The pairing can be updated using DataLog x2.
Note: the SWiFT will not communicate with built in Windows Bluetooth or any other type ofBluetooth LE Key.
If the supplied Key is lost or damaged, it can be replaced with another Laird key, however you
will need to contact [email protected] for information on how to configure it to work
with your SWiFT. Alternatively contact Valeport for the supply of a new Key.
The Laird USB Key will install as a USB serial port and will be assigned a comm port (e.g. comm
10) and on every subsequent connection it will retain this comm port.
After the first installation, the key will need to be removed and re-inserted to activate the SWiFTautomatic connection process.
To find out the comm port of the Laird Key, access the devices and printers selection from
Windows Control Panel.
In the Unspecified section you will find “FT232R USB UART".
Right click and select Properties, next select the Hardware tab and you will see the assigned
comm port.
Communications Page 13
© 2016 Valeport Ltd
The Laird Key is configured to automatically establish a connection to its paired SWiFT whenever
it comes into range. The Key scans every 30 seconds so may take up to 30 seconds to connect
after the SWiFT is switched on or comes into range.
When the connection is established, the Bluetooth symbol on the SWiFT end cap will turn from
green to blue. DataLog x2 will then be able to communicate and configure the SWiFT SVP over
Bluetooth using the configured comm port.
Configuration
Configure the SWiFT using the configuration wizard in DataLog x2, or the hand held device App.
See Software section
SWiFT SVP - Operating ManualPage 14

Rechargeable Battery
The SWiFT SVP is fitted with a battery with the following characteristics:
Battery: Internal, Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack
Capacity 12Ah
Charging: USB
1.5A Charger that is supplied
0.5A Laptop USB port
Battery Life: Up to 5 operational days from a fully charged pack
As the battery becomes discharged the SWiFT status LEDs will change from:
Green More than 24 hours and up to 60 operational hours
Amber less than 24 hours but more than 12 hours
Red Less than 12 operational hours
The actual number of operational hours can vary from one project scenario to another.
Environmental factors have to be taken into account as well as the age of the battery, the
time the SWiFT is switched on as well as the time in the water all have to be taken into
consideration.
Below is a table of the current drawn by the SWiFT in various modes:
Mode Bluetooth GPS Current mA
Running on the surface ON ON 110
Running on the surface Connected ON 116
Interrupted Connected ON 112
Running sub surface OFF OFF 55
Sleep OFF OFF 0.5
Note that there is still current drawn when the SWiFT is switched off or in Sleep Mode and that
the current drawn is considerably less when sub surface recording sound velocity, pressure and
temperature data but the GPS and Bluetooth are off. The GPS and Bluetooth are disabled as
the pressure reading passes a trigger value, by default this is 0.5m but can be set by the
operator.
Rechargeable Battery Page 15
© 2016 Valeport Ltd
Charging
The battery pack is supplied with a dedicated USB charging and data download interface
cable. In order to gain access to the charging socket the locking nut and suspension spar must
be removed. Pay special attention to the O ring seals during disassembly and most importantly
reassembly to insure a fully water tight seal.
The supplied USB charger is capable of charging the battery with a 1.5 A current.
The battery pack has intelligent charging and discharge circuitry. There is no 'memory' to the
pack so partial charging sessions will not reduce the capacity or life of the pack. The capacity
of the pack will, however, reduce with age.
It is advised that the SWiFT battery is never allowed to become fully discharged. In a fully
discharged state the battery is open circuit. In order to reduce the chances of battery
becoming fully discharged the SWiFT will disable all sensors with 1 hour's operational charge left.
From disabling the sensors you have approximately 100 hours to start a charging session to
prevent the battery becoming open circuit.
If the battery is completely discharged and, therefore, open circuit it will take 50 minutes, using
the supplied 1.5A charger, to start taking on a charge.
If charged for 1 hour from a near flat but not an open circuit state, using the supplied 1.5A
charger, the battery will take on a charge that will allow the SWiFT to operate for
approximately 12 hours.
It will take approximately 12 hours, using the supplied 1.5A charger, to fully charge the battery
from a near flat but not open circuit state.
SWiFT SVP - Operating ManualPage 16
© 2016 Valeport Ltd
Charging from a Laptop USB Port
A typical Laptop USB port is rated to supply up to 0.5A for charging.
Any charging operation will take approximately three (3) times longer than if the supplied 1.5A
rated charger is used as described above.
Battery Life Expectancy
The batteries installed in the SWiFT will loose capacity over time. Lithium-ion batteries use the
movement of ion particles to create and store an electrical charge. Eventually these ion
particles are trapped and can no longer move around. The batteries then lose their capacity to
store energy. The factors that affect battery life are the number of charge\discharging cycles,
completely discharging the battery, extreme temperatures, and the way the unit is stored.
Under normal operational conditions the SWiFT battery pack should offer a practical, usable
capacity for a period in excess of 4 years.
Lithium Ion Battery Certification
Note: As certified above the SWiFT SVP rechargeable, Lithium Ion battery is not subject to any
shipping restriction.
Operation Page 17
© 2016 Valeport Ltd
Operation
SWiFT is switched on and off by a quarter turn of the ring surrounding the deployment spar end
cap. The turn can be in either direction
The SWiFT is supplied with an optional sinker weight fitted. If not required or to reduce shipping
weight this weight can be removed - a Hex key is provided.
The supplied deployment line is included for your convenience and is unterminated at either
end. If you choose to use it please ensure any knots tied are fit for purpose and that the free
end is securely tied off before you deploy.
Operational Status
The operational status LED will be solid green when the unit is switched on and not interrupted,
that is, is not in a command mode.
When the unit is on but interrupted the Operational status LED will flash green.
If in an 'interrupted' state and no commands are received after 5 minutes the instrument will
automatically leave the configuration status and start operating again.
GPS Status
When the unit is switched on the GPS will immediately search for time and position data - the
LED will flash green unit a fix is acquired.
Once a position is acquired it will not be updated until the unit has been deployed and started
logging or the power is cycled.
If a fix is not acquired, the unit can be deployed but no position information will be recorded in
the data file.
NB: The GPS will not be powered when the comms cable is plugged in.
Battery Status
As the battery becomes discharged the status LED will change from:
Green More than 24 and up to 60 operational hours
Amber less than 24 but more than 12 operational hours
Red Less than 12 operational hours
If there is a fault with the battery then the LED will flash once a second in different colours.

Solid Blue Connected
Operational Modes
Once the unit is switched on and ready for deployment the following criteria must be met
before logging will start:
Smart Profile Mode
Trip point has been reached (Smart Profile only).
Logging is stopped by turning off the instrument, Interrupting the instrument or, if in Smart Profile
mode, the pressure drops by the stop/step amount, that is, the SWiFT is being recovered. To start
a file the instrument should be switched on/off or set into run mode by using the iOS App or
DataLog x2.
Continuous Mode
This means that the USB cable must be removed.
A Valid position has been obtained. (This is NOT necessary for Continuous NO FIX mode). The
GPS LED will stop flashing.
Logging is stopped by turning off the instrument, Interrupting the instrument or, if in Smart Profile
mode, the pressure drops by the stop/step amount, that is, the SWiFT is being recovered.
Tare
The pressure Tare of the instrument is automatically updated and applied when a GPS fix is
obtained.
The Tare value used is applied to the recorded pressure data and the value used is stored in the
file header.
Care and Maintenance
SWiFT is a robust profiling sensor and will provide many years of reliable service.
The unit should be thoroughly clean and rinsed with fresh water before being returned to its
transit case, where it should be kept at all times when not in use.
Care should be taken when removing and replacing the deployment spar to gain access to
the charging and data port. The O rings included in the locking mechanism for the deployment
spar are an integral part of the system to keep the SWiFT watertight and should be kept in good
condition and checked for correct seating before reassembly.
