Observe the relevant instructions and safety information provided by the paint
manufacturer.
Rinse with fresh water
For non permanent installations, the transducer should be rinsed with fresh water every
time it is taken out of the water.
Painting the transducer face
Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the EM 712
performance. We recommend that you paint the transducer face immediately after
installation, and then again as often as required to maintain the protection.
Prerequisites
The following tools and consumables are required.
• Personal protection
• Fresh water
• A mild synthetic detergent and a plastic brush
• Fine-grade sandpaper (240 inch grit size)
• Primer
• Anti-fouling paint
• Wet film gauge
• Airless spray
Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer,
consult our list of approved paints.
Context
The transducer has not been designed with any protection against biological fouling.
Anti-fouling paint may therefore be applied to the transducer face.
To minimize the negative acoustical effects the layer of anti-fouling paint must be as
thin as possible.
Note
The anti-fouling paint will reduce the acoustical performance of the transducer.
The surface roughness of the transducer substrate and the thickness of the paint may
also influence the performance.
Kongsberg Maritime can not be held responsible for any negative consequences of the
anti-fouling paint.
