Maintenance during normal use
Regular maintenance of the PX MultiSensor Mk2 will reward you with a long product
life.
Context
The charger sockets on PX catch monitoring sensors offer a fail-safe method for the
battery charger connection. However, the sockets are exposed to sea water when the
sensor is used. Salt and moisture in the charger sockets will increase the transmission
resistance and it will cause the charger plugs to corrode.
WARNING
You must never attempt to open the sensor. There are no user serviceable parts
inside, and you may easily cause a leak.
Procedure
1 Wash the sensor with fresh water after every use and/or before charging.
2 Inspect frequently the brass screw in the water switch socket to avoid corrosion
that will make it impossible to unscrew.
3 When needed, replace the brass screw inside the water switch to avoid its corrosion.
Apply Aqua Shield (or similar underwater lubricant) to every screw before inserting
it.
Cleaning the sensor charger sockets
In order to ensure that the charging is efficient – and to reduce the wear and tear of the
sockets and the charger plug – it is important that the sockets are cleaned thoroughly
before charging or sensor configuration takes place.
Prerequisites
In order to clean the sockets properly, you need some items.
