System Power Down & Stowage
Specifications for storage after unpacking
The equipment should whenever possible be stored in its original transportation cases until ready for
installation.
During storage, each box must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (work
platform, table, steps etc.). Once unpacked, all equipment must be kept in a dry, non condensing
atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated from sources of vibration.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the sonar head, Subsea Computer or monocle and no
components requiring routine maintenance. It is recommended that the sonar, subsea computer and
monocle be rinsed down with fresh water after each dive and especially if the unit is not going to be
used for extended periods. Although the anodised aluminium components are very resistant to
corrosion, using fresh water is a simple way of minimising the chance of corrosion.
Do not clean with
solvents, and only use a damp lint free cloth on the exterior of the units. Do not undertake maintenance
of the units, outside the scope of that defined within this manual, unless instructed to do so by Tritech
International Ltd technical support. Wherever possible, avoid any prolonged exposure to extreme
climatic and weathering conditions to reduce any aging effects on surfaces, cables and connectors.
If the unit is to be stored for long periods between operations it is advisable to remove the transportation
fuses from the DMD SCU before stowage to isolate the lithium batteries.
If a unit needs to be packed for storage or shipment, you must whenever possible use its original
packing material and/or case. If shipping, the transportation fuses must be removed from the DMD
SCU.
Temperature limits -10°C to 35°C (operating), -20°C to 50°C (storage)
