ncluded
in this appendix are basic setup and configuration instructions
along with other information useful for setting up and maintaining the Series
5000 Sonar System. In addition, information is provided which can be helpful
for system troubleshooting should problems occur, including instructions on how
to verify operation of hardware components and transducers.
WARNING Klein Associates recommends all troubleshooting be done by a
trained technician. Some circuits in the Sonar Transceiver and Processing
Unit have voltages as high as 240 volts, and some circuits in the sonar
towfish have 1500 volts. You should familiarize yourself with the location of these
voltages before you attempt any troubleshooting. Failure to observe these warnings
could result in injuries to personnel.
CAUTION Serious damage to the sonar electronics may occur if the sonar
towfish is operated out of the water for periods longer than 15 minutes. Let
the sonar cool 15 minutes or longer between operations. Protect the sonar
towfish from direct exposure to the sun prior to and during operation in high
temperature climates.
CAUTION The depth rating on the transducers is 200 meters (656 feet).
Operations at depths greater than 200 meters may damage the transducers.
