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.
