Any metallic clamps should be electrically insulated from the sonar body by either rubber or
plastic strips or mounting brackets of at least 3 mm thickness and extending at least 3 mm
beyond the clamp boundary to reduce any galvanic corrosion effect. Non-metallic clamps are
preferable; if metallic clamps are used (especially if they are different in composition to the
material used by the sonar) they should be painted or lacquered with at least two or three
coatings.
Note
Before connecting the Micron Gemini, it is recommended that the subsea
cable connectors are examined for any damage, free of debris, clean and
dry.
Caution
The outer case of the Micron Gemini is made of anodized aluminium. When
deploying the sonar, direct contact with copper alloys such as brass or
bronze should be avoided.
