Farallon Smart Buoy Deployment Buoy to Gear Attachment The Smart Buoy should be attached as kicker (trailer) buoy to the main buoy of the gear using 2-3 meters of 5/16” line. Tie off the line with your preferred knot to ensure secure attachment (see figures below). IMPORTANT: The line should be threaded through BOTH attachment rings, with the knot positioned to the lower edge of the black tape, as shown in the image below. This ensures the buoy floats upright in the current. Attaching to only a single ring will cause the buoy to tip off-center, preventing optimal sensing and reducing communication capability. It is also possible to loop and splice line through each ring and knot together, as opposed to running around the full circumference of the buoy.

Page 5 of 15 Farallon Smart Buoy System™ Manual Rev 0.24 – April 2021 First Time Use The Smart Buoy may be shipped with the saltwater sensor covered with tape. Remove the tape before deploying the buoy. Do not remove the screws underneath. Farallon Smart Buoy Components Sensors GPS The Smart Buoy is equipped with an internal GPS receiver to provide location information. Depth Sensor The Smart Buoy is equipped with a depth sensor to provide information regarding buoy submergence. Saltwater Sensor The saltwater sensor allows the buoy to turn on when it detects that it is in salt water. The buoy will turn on when it has been in water for at least 15 minutes and will turn itself off when it has been out of the water for at least 5 minutes. To avoid activating the …
