W A R N I N G
If the user thinks that a sensor has water in the pressure housing: Disconnect the
sensor from any power supply. Put on safety glasses and make sure that the sensor is
pointed away from the body and other people. In a well ventilated area, use the purge
port (if the sensor is so equipped), or very SLOWLY loosen the bulkhead connector to
let the pressure release.
Flush the sensor with clean fresh water after each deployment.
Attach the protective dummy plug and lock collar.
Do not leave the sensor in direct sunlight.
