Sonar room requirements
Minimum requirements are provided to obtain suitable working conditions for MS70
installation, use and maintenance.
The sonar room is the compartment in which the Transceiver Unit and the three Power
Supply Units are installed.
Note
It is strongly recommended to use a dedicated compartment to house these units. They must
also be installed relatively close to each other due to the limited length of the cables.

Environmental requirements
The MS70 units must be installed in a dry and dust-free environment. The units are not fully
protected against humidity, dust or water.
It is important that the sonar room is kept dry. The MS70 units must not be exposed to
excessive temperatures, moisture or humidity. Such conditions can cause corrosive attacks
and subsequent failures to the electronic circuitry. Visit the sonar room at regular intervals
