Unpacking transducers
Prior to installation or use, sonar heads and hydrophones must be unpacked from their
transport boxes. It is important that this unpacking is done without inflicting damage
to the equipment.
Prerequisites
Observe the procedure for unpacking of standard parts and units.
Context
Transducers may be supplied mounted to a hull unit (if any), or packed separately. Sonar
heads and hydrophones are normally packed and shipped in separate boxes. Boxes are
identified by the order number and the serial number of the unit inside.
Note
Once a transducer, sonar head or hydrophone is unpacked, make sure that the body and
the cabling are not exposed to any mechanical stress. Protect the transducer face with a
padded cover plate to prevent damage.
Transducers may be heavy.
A transducer must always be handled as a delicate item. Wrongful actions may damage
the transducer beyond repair.
Observe these transducer handling rules:
•
Do not
activate the transducer when it is out of the water.
• Do not lift the transducer by the cables.
• Do not step on the transducer cables.
•
Do not
damage the transducer cables, avoid sharp objects.
• Do not handle the transducer roughly, avoid impacts.
• Do not expose the transducer to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Do not use high pressure water, sand blasting, metal tools or strong solvents to clean
the transducer face.
