Maintenance and Fault Finding
6.1 Care and Maintenance
All Micronet products are totally sealed against water and are not
serviceable. Any attempt to take a Micronet product apart will
invalidate the warranty.
To clean, use only a damp, soft cloth. No detergents, solvents or
abrasives should be used.
To avoid damaging a Micronet display unit we recommend storing in
the supplied soft pack when not in use.
If the instruments are to be stored for a long period of time before
next use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged
before storage. If necessary connect to a 9 to 24v power supply for
24 hrs prior to storage.
6.2 Fault Finding and Technical Support
6.2.1 Power Save Alarm sounds.
There has been no significant data activity on the network. The alarm
sounds to indicate that the instrument system will turn itself off. To
continue using the system press any button to cancel the alarm.
6.2.2 Lost Network Alarm sounds.
On a single instrument this indicates that the particular instrument has
lost communication with the Master*. Either there is a problem with the
Master* instrument or the instrument in question has been moved out
of effective range.
On several instruments this indicates that these instruments have lost
communication with the Master*. Either there is a problem with the
master or the Master* has been moved out of effective range. The
instruments will power down shortly after sounding the alarm to save
power.

and
Flashing
It is recommended that the
instrument be left in daylight for
some time for the battery to
recover, or charge from an
external 9 - 24V power source. A
fully discharged battery will re-
charge in approximately 12 hours
of direct bright sunlight.
If using the instruments at night power usage can be reduced
dramatically by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or Off. If
Backlighting is not required on instruments located below decks it is
best to set them to “Local” Backlighting control (see page 15 –s6) so
that power is not being wasted in instruments which may not be
visible from the one being viewed.
*
If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter
how much the instrument is subjected to bright sunlight no further
charging is required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.
If the instruments are to be stored for a long period of time
before next use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are
fully charged before storage. If necessary connect to a 9 to
24v power supply for 24 hrs prior to storage.
