Safety and handling instructions
■In order to use the instrument safely and correctly, fully read and understand this
operation manual.
■Ask our repair service staff about maintenance of the instrument. Be sure not to have the
instrument overhauled by a anyone other than qualified repair personnel.
■Always keep this manual handy.
Pictorial Indication
In order to correctly use the product and prevent injury to users or other persons or damage to property
from occurring, be sure to carry out the following matters according to the indication of this manual and
product. The indication symbols mean the following:
This symbol means “if you mishandle the instrument, occurrence of
imminent danger causing death or a serious injury is anticipated.”
This symbol means “if you mishandle the instrument, the possibility of
causing death or a serious injury is anticipated.”
The symbol means “if you mishandle the instrument, the possibility of
causing a moderate or light injury, or damage to property, is
anticipated.”

Danger
Prevention of electric shock by high voltage part
1. When you check the internal portion for maintenance or inspection,
be sure to turn the power switch off because high voltage is used in
some parts.
2. At the inspection, wash away salt on your hands, or when work
clothes, shoes, or the like is wet, change it with dried one.
3. In the unlikely event that you find a person struck by electricity, if
you directly touch the person, you may be also in danger of
receiving an electric shock. Therefore, inform everybody of it
without panic in a loud voice and turn the power switch off, or get
the person off the spot using a plate or the like. Then bring the
person back to life by artificial respiration or general method.

Caution
Caution about installation location
1. Avoid using the instrument at a location where the temperature
becomes 50°C or more, such as a location where the instrument
receives direct sunlight for a long time or a location in the vicinity of
a heating appliance.
2. Avoid using the instrument at a location where the instrument
directly receives spindrift or at a humid location.
!
Warning at the check of the ship bottom part or the instrument
When you perform the checking at the ship bottom part, be sure to wear
a helmet and safety shoes, act in pairs and create a system so as to
communicate with each other at any time.

Safety of the hoist unit
• Ship speed resistance
When using the hoisting device, be sure not to exceed the following ship speed resistance
of the hoisting device. When used in excess of the ship speed resistance, the hoisting
device may be damaged and cause an accident.
Hoisting
operation
Ascent 15 knots or less
ship speed
resistance
16 knots
Descent 15 knots or less
• Change electrolytic corrosion-preventing zinc plates annually.
Be sure to perform electrolytic corrosion prevention. If electrolytic corrosion prevention is
not performed, the transducer may fall accidentally or there may be an influx of seawater
into a dome, in the worst case.
For the transducer
The transducer of this sonar system is filled with castor oil inside. This castor oil may steep
from the transducer cable due to outside temperature change, but it does not affect the
performance.
For preventing damage at sea
When the transducer or the hoisting device is damaged at sea, the sonar system cannot be used,
accordingly, the operation or safe navigation is sometimes hindered. Furthermore, it takes a large
amount of time and cost to exchange and repair the transducer or the hoisting device.
In order to prevent these accidents from occurring, store the transducer by performing the
following operations when conditions are as described below.
1. Condition
1) Sea condition with many float and drift
2) The case of getting out of an encircling net by a lightship of round haul netter fleet
3) A shallow place where ropes or wires are set up under seas
4) During an anchorage of a ship
2. Transducer storage operation
1) Press the ascent key of the hoisting device of the controller and store the transducer.
2) During ascending, an arrowhead “” is indicated in upper right of the screen and the
display bar of the hoisting amount is gradually reduced.
3) When the transducer is stored and the hoisting device goes up to the upper limit, the
upper limit message is displayed and the hoisting device stops.

On the battery·electric cell exchange
In this instrument, a battery is used to have clock function. Perform exchange of a
battery periodically.
Be sure to change any expired batteries. If you leave a battery unchanged, there is
a risk of smoking and ignition.
<Target of exchange>
As to a battery, the target life is set to about two years as a standard. When the battery is
used under a high temperature, the life becomes shorter.
<Exchange method>
As to the exchange of a battery, make contact with our service staff.
Batteries are valuable and recyclable resources. In changing batteries and used
product disposal, cooperate in recycling.
