== Introduction ==

This document describes the hardware components of the OWL^TM^ system. It is written to
give an overview of the system on the highest level. It shows the components,
connections between the components, connections between the OWL^TM^ and it's platform
(ship/buoy/rig) and specifications.

Detailed [[Ocean Visuals OWL technical sheet.pdf|datasheet]] OWL^TM^ Shipborne and OWL MAP^TM^ is attached.\\
Description of the measurement process is described in [[IntroductionToMeasurementPhysics|introduction to measurement physics]].

The system has two components:
* Junction box that holds circuit breakers, power-line communication modem and server. The junction box needs a LAN cable and a regular AC current from mains.
* Measurement device enclosed in a high durability, climate controlled aluminium box.

The two components are connected via regular two leaded electrical wire.

The Measurement device has robust attachment points along the longest edges.
The customers needs to specify where the device is meant to be installed. A drawing of the railing is
necessary for us to manufacture the appropriate fastenings.


The Junction Box should be installed indoors. The enclosure of the Junction Box is
not weatherproof nor climate controlled. It is a metal box that will be mounted on
a wall. It requires power and Local Area Network connections. Instruction for
