38 -If you are short on magnets, you may find it easier and a lot cheaper to buy magnets in Australia. AMF Magnetics is a good retailer, and [[this item>>https://magnet.com.au/collections/shop?q=23012B]] seems to work well. It is also advantageous to use smaller magnets and store/carry them individually in your back pocket (as well as stick them to various places in your field vehicle, etc).
28 +Use a (**landfill**, not //compost//) degradable bag when installing to keep the instrument clean. This will save you many hours of time cleaning them in preparation for their return. [[Here is a video>>url:http://auspass.edu.au/field/bd3c_removal.mp4]] demonstrating its effectiveness.
39 39  
40 -== Animal-Proofing ==
41 41  
42 -We have experienced times where foxes (or some other animal) will dig up nodes and potentially carry them off for tens or hundreds of meteres. Being sanitary with the rope handles (e.g. not getting food grease on them) seems to help, as well as spraying the nodes and handles with methylated spirits et al. when deploying. There are other specialized products available depending on your environment.

33 +Both nodes take about 6-8 hours to charge from flat and hold their charge reasonably well, however you may benefit from a "top up" charge immediately prior to deploy. The instruments should last around 30 days per cycle (recording at 250hz) with GPS on cycle on and bluetooth disabled.

93 -** After retrieval, charge the instruments to about 50-60% (indicated as "orange" level) unless they are to be immediately re-deployed.
94 -* **Storage and Shipping Charge Level**:
95 -** Maintain a battery charge level of around 50-60% (e.g. "orange") for both storage and shipping purposes.
96 -** This charge level is recommended to prevent battery damage and is safe for transportation.
97 -** Nodes should not be stored fully charged, and **they should especially not be stored with 0 charge as this damages lithium batteries.**

Note that to avoid registering the same node twice, you can simply replace the file each time you do the registration.

24 -# the start/end time is not critical, but good to have. what IS critical are the times of instrument changes as this potentially affects response information
25 -# to mark equipment changes, add a new line with an updated start date (e.g. AKL05 above)
26 -# can use tabs or spaces, but spaces tend to look nicer. formatting ultimately doesn't matter too much so long as there is any sort of "white space" between the fields
