Fitting – All cables to the control unit

 

Please use the picture below to correctly connect the cables to the control unit. N.B If you have purchased 
a system with the PLUS option you will have more connections and need to refer to the PLUS Installation 
and Operation Guide. 

 

YOU MUST CONNECT THE TRANSDUCER CABLES BEFORE CONNECTING ANY POWER TO THE UNIT 

Firstly connect the transducer cables, ensure the nuts are secure to prevent them from becoming 
disconnected. 

Connect the power supply unit to the control box. 

Connect the battery cable to the control box.  

Plug the power supply unit into the mains / shore power socket. 

The unit will run a test and within 15 seconds you will see the transducer lights start and your unit will be 
running. The system will then run in ‘Learning’ mode for between 3-4 minutes. During this time the system 
will determine the number of transducers connected. If you add a transducer to your system you will need 
to power the system off at the DC and AC to re-enter the learning mode required to add the transducers. 

Your SonicShield Intelligent antifouling unit is now fully installed. 

Power Control – Sleep Mode 

We advise running the Ultrasonic cleaning at all times. The system is designed to deter the build up of algae 
and therefore if allowed to build up on your hull the systems effectiveness will be decreased. 

If you need to turn the system off then this should only be performed via the On/Off switch on the front of 
the main control unit. The On/Off switch is on a time delay to protect against prolonged periods of 
inactivity. 

A single press of the switch will ‘sleep’ the system for 12 hours. The system will automatically turn back on 
after the 12 hour period.  Pressing the switch again at any point during the 12 hour period will cancel the 
sleep mode and the system will resume running as normal.
