Chapter 7: Maintenance and Problem
This chapter provides information on routine maintenance and on possible
causes of problems you may experience with your DS600X.

7.1 Maintenance

CAUTION:
This unit contains high voltage. Adjustments require specialized service
procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians -
there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments and the operator
should not attempt to service the equipment. The operator should not
remove the rear cover of the module.

Routine Checks

The DS600X is a sealed unit. Maintenance procedures are therefore limited
to the following periodic checks:
• Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
• Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached.

Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning the Unit

The DS600X is a sealed unit and does not require regular cleaning. However,
if you find it necessary to clean the unit, please follow these basic procedures:
• Ensure power is off.
• Wipe the module clean with a damp cloth.
• If necessary, use IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or a mild detergent solution to
remove grease marks.

Cleaning the Transducer

Sea growth can collect quickly on the bottom of the transducer, this can
reduce the performance in just a few weeks. To prevent the build-up of sea
growth, coat the transducer with a thin layer of paint.
Use only a water-based antifouling paint, or a water-based paint specifically
designed for transducers. Apply the paint with a brush.
