Reverse Voltage Protection 

 
The  SonarMite  is  protected  from  reverse  connection  or  direct  short  circuit  by  an 
internal  1.0Amp  thermal  fuse.  If  the  fuse  is  tripped  then  the  system  will  need  to  be 
disconnected for 1 minute for the fuse to cool down and reset itself.  

Weatherproofing 

 
The SonarMite has been designed to conform to the IP67 waterproofing standard, this 
benchmark  describes  equipment  which  can  withstand  a  light  spray  of  water  from  a 
hose for a short period of time, it does not imply the device is suitable for immersion 
in  any  depth  of  water  or  exposed  to  prolonged  harsh  weather  conditions.  The 
weatherproofing  also  assumes  the  connectors  or  cover  caps  are  fully  screwed  on  to 
their rubber sealing rings. The weatherproofing does not apply to certain components 
which are by definition not designed for outdoor use such as the mains battery charger 
and D9 serial cable connectors.
