SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
WORKING WITH THE SONAR OIL
Precautions
• Keep the oil away from eyes. Wear
protective glasses when working with
the oil. The oil can cause inflammation
of the eyes.
• Do not touch the oil. Wear protective
gloves when working with the oil. The
oil can cause inflammation of the skin.
• Do not ingest the oil. Diarrhea or
vomiting can result.
• Keep the oil out of reach of children.
• For further details, see the material
safety data sheet (MSDS).
Emergency
• If the oil enters eyes, flush with clean water
for about 15 min. Consult a physician.
• If the oil contacts skin, wash with soap and
water.
• If the oil is ingested, see a physician
immediately.
• Keep the oil out of reach of children.
• For other information, see the material safety
data sheet (MSDS).
Disposal of oil and its container
• Dispose of oil and its container in
accordance with local regulations. For further
details, contact the place of purchase.
Storage
• Seal container to keep out foreign materials.
Store in dark place.
Ground the equipment to prevent
electrical shock and mutual
interference.
Connect the ground terminal to the
ship's ground.
If the ground terminal is connected to a
terminal other than the ship's ground (ex.
main engine), electrolytic corrosion may
occur.
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent magnetic
compass deviation:

CAUTION
Keep away from the raise/lower shaft
of the hull unit when it is working.
Injury may result if caught in the shaft.
The hull unit is designed to withstand
ship's speed of 20 kn (15 kn during
raise/lower operation). For vessels with
greater speed, reinforce the hull unit.
The transducer tank should be
mounted 100 mm or more above the
waterline. If this is impossible, use a
waterproofing shaft and gland
(supplied locally) and make safety
provisions (ex. construction of
watertight compartment).
If the ambient temperature around the
hull unit will be below 0°C, provide the
sonar compartment with a heater to
keep the temperature above 0°C.
The hull unit can not work if the ambient
temperature is below 0 °C.
If a steel tank is installed on a wooden
or FRP vessel, take appropriate
measures to prevent electrolytic
corrosion.
Electrolytic corrosion can damage the
hull.
Do not apply substances which
contain organic solvents (alcohol,
thinner, etc.) to the soundome.
Chemical cracking may occur.
Do not connect/disconnect the
connector while turning the power on.
The equipment may be damaged.
