WARNING
Klein Associates recommends all troubleshooting be done by a
trained technician. Some circuits in the Sonar Transceiver and
Processing Unit have voltages as high as 240 volts, and some
circuits in the sonar towfish have 1500 volts. You should
familiarize yourself with the location of these voltages before you
attempt any troubleshooting. Failure to observe these warnings
could result in injuries to personnel.
CAUTION
Serious damage to the sonar electronics may occur if the sonar
towfish is operated out of the water for periods longer than 15
minutes. Let the sonar cool 15 minutes or longer between
operations. Protect the sonar towfish from direct exposure to the
sun prior to and during operation in high temperature climates.
CAUTION
The depth rating on the transducers is 200 meters (656 feet).
Operations at depths greater than 200 meters may damage the
transducers.
