Troubleshooting, Service and Specifications

10.2 Preventive maintenance

Surface cleaning – to keep the CX34/44/54 cabinet and display screen clean,
wipe the surfaces with a clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean,
damp cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish detergent and
water. Wring out firmly before wiping the unit.
Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit, alcohol, gasoline or oils.
Electrical connections – periodically check the electrical connections. Make
sure that connections are tight and that no cables are frayed or worn.
Transducer for built-in echosounder - periodically clean the face of the trans-
ducer with a plastic utensil using a scrubbing action.
Do not use a harsh abrasive or a solvent to clean the transducer.
Radar scanner - periodically check that the scanner's fitting bolts are tight
and not corroded. Every 6 to 12 months an even coating of grease should be
applied to the entire surface of the scanner drive gear with a spatula or brush.
Most of the maintenance of the radar scanner should be left to qualified
personnel. If there are problems with the performance, please contact your
authorized dealer.
Warning! Do not open the radome before the cable between the radar scan-
ner and CX34/44/54 has been disconnected. It is not sufficient just to turn off
the power by the switch, as the radar antenna is still supplied power inside.
