Usage Precautions
•
The Motion Sensor MS-100 compensates for ship’s pitching and rolling. However, it does
not compensate for load unbalance. Use Clinometer BS-704 if compensation for load
unbalance is required.
•
If the equipment will not be used for a long time, shut off the power to it at the mains
switchboard to prevent battery discharge.
•
If the soundome is to be operated while the ship is dry-docked, set the transmitter output
power to “MIN(imum),” on the COM1 menu. Damage to the train/tilt assy. may result if the
transducer is operated with maximum transmitter power when the ship is dry-docked.
•
When the ship is dry-docked check the soundome for signs of electrolytic corrosion. Find
the reason for the corrosion and attach a zinc plate to the location as an anticorrosion
measure.
