This completes the Getting Started section of the manual. You should now take time to become
thoroughly informed about the 6200 DAS by reading all sections of the manual that pertain to the
specific system you have received. Not all sections apply since there are a number of
communication, power and sensor options.
IMPORTANT! Before continuing, remember that the DCP continues to collect data from the
sensors at whatever interval you set (e.g., every 2 minutes). The DCP will continue collecting
data at this rate until the battery runs down to an unusable level or until you reconfigure the DCP
to collect at a different interval. We recommend that you return to the 6200 menu, Open the
file checkout.s62 (or other name that you assigned) and from the 6200 menu, 6200 DCP
Setup, System… submenu and change the Sample Interval to a larger number (60 minutes
or more). This change conserves power and will help extend the life of some of the sensors (DO,
for example). If the battery power level drops too low, the 6200 will automatically turn off.
