2.1

Operator Safety

The SeaBat T-Series Subsea system should be handled with attention to operator safety as well
as protection of the hardware components. General precautions include:
 DO NOT connect or disconnect cables with the power on.
 DO NOT attempt to open and service the projector or receiver units.
 DO NOT attempt to open and service the SSP without specific instructions from
Teledyne RESON.
 DO NOT operate the system while divers are in the water and closer than two meters
from the projector and receiver units. High-powered ultrasonic energy can be
hazardous to human physiology.
2.2

Equipment Safety

Each SeaBat T-Series Subsea component is sufficiently robust for shipboard storage while in its
own transit case or shipping box, which may include handles and tie-down rings. Use appropriate
discretion in lifting, as the cases may be awkward and heavy.

2.2.1 Safe Handling

To ensure safe handling of the equipment:
 Inspect each transit case or shipping box for physical damage prior to opening, and
each component for physical damage before installation.
 Use original shipping boxes to provide adequate packaging and shock absorption
when shipping or storing the equipment.
 Do not drop the equipment.
 Do not connect or disconnect cables from the SSP or from the sonar head assembly
while the SSP is running. This can damage the internal workings.
 Do not bend cables beyond the recommended limits.
 Do not place the sonar head in an area where the face may be scratched or
damaged. If an array must be placed on the ground, it should be placed on a flat
surface and covered with a protective plastic sheet.
 Ensure that the equipment is properly secured before putting out to sea.
