Watertight integrity
The size, location and design of the sonar room must fulfil all the requirements to the vessel’s watertight integrity.
In the event of a major leak, it must be possible to close all watertight hatches and/or doors to the room to maintain vessel
stability and safety. The physical size of the sonar room must be limited, so that in the event of a major leak, the flooding of the room will not
induce instability, or cause the vessel to capsize or sink.
Before you turn on the CS90
Before you turn on the CS90, make sure that you have sufficient water depth to lower the transducer!
CautionYou must never turn on the CS90 when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air.
When the CS90 is not used
When you do not use the CS90, turn off the entire system.
NoteYou must NEVER turn off the CS90 by means of the on/off switch on the Processor Unit. You must ALWAYS use the Operating Panel or select Exit on the top bar.
When you are docking your vessel
You must never turn on the CS90 when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air. To prevent inadvertent use of the CS90, pull out the mains plug on the Processor Unit whenever your vessel is in dry dock. Additional precautionary measurers should be considered.
If something breaks down
If you believe that something has broken down, contact your local dealer. A list of all our dealers is provided on our website.
If you are unable to contact a dealer, observe the support information in this publication.
When you want to turn off the CS90
You must NEVER turn off the CS90 by means of the on/off switch on the Processor Unit. When you do not use the CS90, turn it off with the Power button on the Operating Panel. If the transducer is lowered when you turn off the CS90, it is automatically retracted to its upper position.
NoteIf you turn off the CS90 by means of the on/off switch on the Processor Unit you may damage the software and the interface settings used to communicate with external devices.
Manual operation of the hull unit
In the event of improper operation, the powerful electric motor on the hull unit may cause serious damage to the equipment
and/or injury to personnel. Therefore, before you start manual operation, read carefully through the relevant operating procedures.
NoteYou must familiarize yourself with the correct handling methods and the relevant safety requirements.
Rules for transducer handling
A transducer must always be handled as a delicate instrument. Incorrect actions may damage the transducer beyond repair. A physical blow to the transducer face may easily damage one or more elements. Observe these transducer handling rules:
|
• |
Do not activate the transducer when it is out of the water. |
|
• |
Do not handle the transducer roughly and avoid impacts. |
|
• |
Do not expose the transducer to direct sunlight or excessive heat. |
|
• |
Do not damage the outer protective skin of the transducer. |
|
• |
Do not use high-pressure water, sandblasting, metal tools or strong solvents to clean the transducer. |
|
• |
Do not step on the transducer cables. |
|
• |
Do not damage the transducer cables, and avoid exposure to sharp objects. |
