Aquarius Life Support Buoy (LSB)

The Aquarius Life Support Buoy (LSB) provides electrical power, compressed air, and outside communication to the Aquarius Reef Base.

In game, the LSB has two generator sets for the sake of redundancy to provide all power to the reef base.
On the deck you will find both the umbilical controls as well as the refueling plumbing. To open both the maintenance hatch and the refueling hatch all the "dogs" must be undone. Annoying, but realistic.

When you open the door to the generator room there is a panel immediately to your left, aside from the indicator lights and buoy internal lighting there is a beacon switch. Turn that on, it is connected to a photocell/timer and will turn on and off at daybreak and dusk. To mark the buoys location to passing ships.

GENERATOR CONTROLS:
-To activate the generator(s) you have a couple options at your disposal. You can either run them constantly or as needed, together, or independently to recharge the batteries.
-First opposite the generator you wish to start on the bulkhead there are two breakers, turn them both on. One provides the generator with electricity, the other allows the generator to load and provide power to recharge the batteries and provide power to recharge the Aquarius batteries via. the umbilical.
-Then, turn the key marked "ACCESSORY".
-Select a run speed for the generator with the keypad. I would reccomend somewhere between 0.4 and 1.0. A lower RPS will obviously take longer to recharge the batteries but be more economical with fuel where as a a high RPS will do the opposite.
-Then if you wish the generator to start/stop automatically as needed to recharge the batteris press the "ECO-START/STOP' blue button. At which point, everything is ready and active. The generator will start up when the batter is drained 25% (to 0.75) and stop when fully charged at 100%.
-If you wish to keep the generator on continously press the "IGNITION" button for a few seconds, then release. The generator should now be running.
-To stop the generator manually press and hold the "FUEL CUTOFF" button until the RPS drops to near 0. Or set the engine run speed with the kepad to 0.0. Once the engine has stopped turn the "ACCESSORY" key off.

*Located above the generator room hatch is a fuel crossfeed valve. Open it if you wish fuel to flow freely from one tank to the next.
**If the generator begins to overheat an alarm will sound warning you of the problem both internally and externally of the buoy.
***In an emergency there is a fuel cutoff located neat the exit to the deck which will cutoff all fuel to both generators.


HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!

UPDATE: 09 JAN 2019

Fixed the fuel receptical(s) on the deck. So now they can recieve fuel, sorry about the folks! BIG thanks to julestheshiba for noticing and bringing it to my attention!
*Don't forget to redownload/subcribe the mission as it uses the original buoy, which ofcourse is unable to be refueled.
If your downloading for the first time you should not have any issues.

UPDATE: 14 APR 2019
Now has a functioning solar panel...finally! :D
