Note
The anti-fouling paint will reduce the acoustical performance of the transducer. The
surface roughness of the transducer substrate and the thickness of the paint may also
influence the performance. Kongsberg Maritime cannot be held responsible for any negative
consequences of the anti-fouling paint.
Approved anti-fouling paints
Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer, consult
our list of approved paints. Observe the relevant instructions and safety information
provided by the paint manufacturer. Approved anti-fouling paints for transducers are found
on our website.

Special rules for acoustic windows
Arctic tanks have acoustic windows made of polycarbonate. These must neither be painted
nor cleaned with chemicals. Acoustic windows must not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Inspecting and cleaning the transducer face
Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the performance. For
this reason, it is important to keep the transducer face clean. Every time your vessel is
in dry dock, you must remove the marine growth. At the same time, you must inspect
the transducer closely for physical damage.
Prerequisites
The following tools and consumables are required:
