The passive sonar meter requires no regular preventative
maintenance. However, when performing periodic inspections of
the plant, take note of any damage to Transmitter or Sensor Head
enclosures, enclosure gaskets, or the insulation of associated
cables. If the enclosure damage indicates that protection of the
electronics from moisture intrusion is compromised or failure is
imminent or if the cable damage suggests that cable shorts or
opens are imminent, then take the appropriate corrective action
depending on the situation
