5. Care & Maintenance
5.1. Sonar Head
After using the sonar
Make sure that after using the sonar head that it is washed down with fresh water
and check the unit for any signs of obvious damage. Pay particular attention to the
transducer head and free any organic matter which has become trapped. Once the unit
is clean; dry thoroughly and place in storage container.
If storing the sonar for extended periods
Make sure that the sonar is completely dry (if necessary leave to air-dry before
stowing). Pack into storage container along with several pouches of silica gel.
Regular maintenance
There are no user serviceable parts inside the sonar and it is not necessary to take it
apart for any maintenance tasks. In light usage as long as the unit is washed thoroughly
with clean fresh water after every use and dried before storage no further maintenance
is required. If the unit is in regular use, or submerged routinely for extended periods, it
is advisable to arrange for an annual service to be carried out by
Tritech International
Ltd
This service will enable the unit to be checked thoroughly or for any worn parts
to be replaced and will enable long-term trouble free operation of the sonar head.
5.2. Eclipse SPU
Software Maintenance
The operating system running on the SPU is Microsoft Windows and does not have
any anti-virus or protection software installed by default.
It is possible to restrict access to the USB drives using the lock on the front panel. The
Eclipse SPU is designed to be a stand-alone machine, however, if it is to be installed
on a network appropriate software should be used to protect against viruses known
to affect Windows computers.
