Replacing the sacrificial anodes
Since these anodes are slowly disintegrating during normal wear and tear, they must
be replaced when spent.
Context
Inspect the anodes regularly, and replace them if needed.
Procedure
1 Unscrew the corroded anodes using pliers.
Make sure the centre stud bolt comes out.
2 Replace the anode and the serrated washer for better contact.
Resetting the pressure relief valve
The Pressure relief valve can be found on the transponder bottom end cap.
Procedure
1 Clean the unit thoroughly with lots of fresh water.
2 Push the valve back in until it sits flush with the surrounding surface.
3 Contact Kongsberg Maritime for assistance if the valve will not reset properly.
Lubricating SubConn ® connectors
Underwater connectors must be kept clean and lubricated and should be inspected
regularly for damages and corrosion.
Context
SubConn
®
connectors should not be exposed to extended periods of heat or direct
sunlight. If a connector becomes very dry, it should be soaked in fresh water before use.
Procedure
1 Grease the connector with Molykote 44 Medium or equivalent grease.
A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of the socket depth should be
applied to the female connector.
2 Check that the inner edge of all sockets is completely covered, and a thin transparent
layer of grease is visible on the face of the connector.
