Note
The anti-fouling paint will reduce the acoustical performance of the transducer. The
surface roughness of the transducer substrate and the thickness of the paint may also
influence the performance. Kongsberg Maritime can not be held responsible for any
negative consequences of the anti-fouling paint.
Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer,
consult our list of approved paints. The list can also be found on http://www.simrad.com.
Observe the relevant instructions and safety information provided by the paint
manufacturer.
Special rules for acoustic windows
Arctic tanks have acoustic windows made of polycarbonate. These must neither be
painted nor cleaned with chemicals. Acoustic windows must not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
Approved anti-fouling paints
This is our list of approved antifouling paints for all transducer types. Always refer to
the manufacturer's documentation and data sheets for a complete procedure and for
relevant safety information.
Important
Do not paint the transducer with traditional hull plating paint. Use only the correct
type of approved paint specified.
Do not use high pressure water, sand blasting, metal tools or strong solvents to clean
the transducer face.
