Aloha Proof Module Design Cabled Observatory Mechanical Presentation School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology February 2006
Aloha Phase 1 Mechanical Systems Main Assemblies: Float Package Proof Module Cable Termination Frame Bottom Line: -Mechanicals have gone smoothly -Manufacturing and testing complete -Final assembly remains -Quick tour or three main assemblies
Buoyancy Test • Float allows for the retrieval • of the proof module . • Link between termination frameand proof module will be cut byROV.
Proof Module Electronics Housing Assembly Seawater Return Titanium Shackle Strong-back AT&TMUX Status: -Manufacturing completed -Passed pressure testing -Partially assembled Hydrophone Endcap (tube not shown) UH Electronics
Proof Module Cable Termination Frame Status: -Manufacturing and tension testing complete -Waiting for Tyco/ODI cable harness for final assembly
Termination Frame Tension Test -Frame is inverted inside railway
