System Storage Specifications & Recommendations
The equipment should, whenever possible, be stored in its original transportation cases until ready for
operation. During storage, each box must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended
(work platform, table, steps etc.).
After unpacking and during storage all equipment must be kept in a dry, non condensing atmosphere,
free from corrosive agents and isolated from sources of vibration.
After use and prior to storage the underwater items should be thoroughly washed down using fresh
water and allowed to dry naturally prior to storage. Although the anodised aluminium components are
very resistant to corrosion, using fresh water is a simple way of minimising the chance of corrosion. If
required items may be cleaned using a non abrasive cloth and mild non abrasive detergent. Do not
clean with solvents !
If the unit is to be stored for long periods between operations it is advisable to remove the
transportation fuses from the DMD SCU before stowage to isolate the lithium batteries.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the sonar head, Subsea Computer or monocle and no
components requiring routine maintenance. Do not undertake maintenance of the units, outside the
scope of that defined within this manual, unless instructed to do so by Tritech International Ltd
technical support. Wherever possible, avoid any prolonged exposure to extreme climatic and
weathering conditions to reduce any aging effects on surfaces, cables and connectors.
If a unit needs to be packed for storage or shipment you must, whenever possible, use its original
packing material and/or case.
Temperature limits -10°C to 35°C (operating), -20°C to 50°C (storage)
