Cleaning
•
Rinse hydrophone with fresh water after every deployment.
•
This will avoid corrosion and keep salt crystals from forming on the connectors. Failure to
do this could result in increased servicing to replace connectors.
•
Clean element with warm soapy water.
•
Clean hardened biological build-up by soaking the hydrophone in a 50/50 water and 0.5
ppm acetic acid (white vinegar) solution and clean with a soft toothbrush.
•
Any accumulation of sand or mud in the connectors should be removed with spray-based
contact cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) or fresh water.
•
Failure to clean connectors can result in the splaying of the female connector and
damage to the O-ring seals.
Connector Care
•
Apply lubricant (Molykote 44 Med.) to all connectors before connecting to hydrophone.
•
If connectors are not properly lubricated connections may not seat correctly.
•
Ensure that mating surfaces of the connectors are fully seated before deployment. Failure
to do so could result in shorted connections underwater.
•
Never use excessive force to seat connectors. This may result in the pins being broken or
bent, which could result in down time while the connectors are being replaced.
