Kongsberg EM 304 MKII Maintenance manual Inspecting and cleaning the transducer face Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the EM 304 MKII performance. For this reason, it is important to keep the transducer face clean. Every time your vessel is in dry dock, you must remove the marine growth. At the same time, you must inspect the transducer closely for physical damage.
Page 37
Preventive maintenance Biological material which is strongly rooted in the substrate can be removed carefully with a piece of wood or plastic. If required, you can also use citric acid. Apply, leave it working for several hours, and rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Note Do not use high-pressure water, sandblasting, metal tools or strong solvents to clean the transducer face.
Kongsberg EM 304 MKII Maintenance manual Painting the transducer face Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the EM 304 MKII performance.
