The following recommendations are made to protect the arrays while in use and
in storage.
For cleaning, use a mild, nonabrasive soap, fresh lukewarm water, and
a soft brush.
Rinse the sonar with fresh water after every use.
Do not clean the array or sonar by using hot or cold pressure washers.
The high-velocity water spray will cut through the polyurethane or
damage the interface between the polyurethane and the sonar metal
housing.
To scrape away marine growth from the arrays, use only a wooden tool.
Do not apply any antifouling paint on the acoustic window unless the
type is recommended by RESON. The antifouling paint will affect the
acoustic performance. RESON recommends:
o
For high-frequency transducers (>100kHz) use International VC
17m.
o
For low-frequency transducers (<100kHz) use SigmaGlide.
NOTE
As these products are subject to technical modifications, it is
