MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Preventive Maintenance

Regular checks

Regular maintenance is important for continued

performance. Check the following on a monthly basis.

Check that all connectors and cables are securely

tightened.

Check grounding systems of units for corrosion.

Also regularly measure voltage to confirm that it is within

prescribed rating.

Cleaning of units

Display unit/ transceiver unit

Accumulated dirt can be wiped off with a soft cloth. If necessary,

a mild detergent diluted in water may be used. Chemical

cleaners should not be used to clean any unit; they can remove

paint and markings.

Transducer unit

Barnacles and other marine life adhering to the transducer face

can cause a considerable drop in performance. Check the

transducer face regularly for marine life and clean if necessary.

The transducer should never be painted.
