【AFTER INSTALLATION】
Check to ensure the voltage between the flange and the battery (negative) is lower than
0.65V.
If the voltage is high, connect the thick wire and make it lower than the regulated value.
The high voltage causes an electrolytic corrosion.
【DAILY MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION】
For long-term trouble-free service, keep the unit away as much as possible from direct sunlight,
moisture, dust, and shocks.
For keeping the equipment in good working order, check the following points regularly.
Is the power supply is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment?
Model Input Power supply
S-1800M10 DC10.5〜40V
S-1800M15 DC20〜30V
S-1800H80/180 DC10.5〜30V
Dust or dirt must be removed from the equipment with a soft and dry cloth.
Be sure to use “display cabinet cover” to protect the unit from salt damage.
CAUTION
Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the equipment.
Remove oyster or barnacles attach on the soundome that result in poor sonar performance.
Tighten the screws of the mounting bracket, the flange, and the electrical connections.
The Hoist Gears and Flange Unit require regular lubrication with grease.
-3-

【CAUTIONARY NOTES】
Prior to doing any repair work, please check the items listed below.
Is the power supply voltage is normal?
Is the polarity (+, −) of a power supply correct?
Have any fuses blown out?
All the connectors wired correctly?
Securely tighten all connections.
Check to see if the connectors to individual boards are connected.
Check to see if the cable broke.
Check to see if there is any disordered appearance.
When conducting repair work, care should be taken as follows.
Make sure to turn the main power off before repair work and remove the power cable.
Due to the high voltage in the inverter unit, it is very dangerous to touch the peripheral lines.
C-MOS・ICs are on the boards. To avoid the damage by static electricity, do not wrap the board
in any material that causes static electricity or do not use leaky soldering irons.
Do not place the board on a metal board since the battery is mounted on the board or some
electric charge might remain on the condenser.
The following cases void its warranty and the high repair charge will be required.
<Changing the chip parts>
<Soldering on the board>
<Abnormal adjustment on the variable resistors>

FUSEFUSE1 For the power supply circuit of the control unit.
FUSE2 For the Hoist motor
FUSE3 For the hoist circuit
When the fuse 1 blows, the Hoist raised the soundome, but does not lower it.
When the fuse 2 and 3 blow, the Hoist neither raises nor lowers the soundome.
Barnacles or oysters that adhere to the soundome will cause the soundome trouble.
Therefore remove them whenever they are found.
Also remove them when the ropes etc. got twisted round the soundome.
When overloaded, other than the fuse 2 the protect circuit in the monitor unit becomes active
to protect the circuits or the hoist motor.
The circuit returns automatically after it is cooled down. For that the power should be kept
OFF for a while.
Exchange the fuse 2 if it blows.
Disconnect the power when the Hoist could not raise or lower the soundome.
Otherwise this could damage the motors or Main PCB in Hull Unit.

BEFORE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION (connected with the limit switch cables: red and black, brown)
Turn the breaker of your ship OFF. Remove FUSE 2.
Move the joint arm into the position between the upper limit switch and the lower limit
switch with the crank handle.
UPPER LIMIT SWITCH / LOWER LIMIT SWITCH (connected with the limit switch cables: yellow and
green) Check the current flows between the points, “NO”−”COM” with the tester.
The following cases show the normal conditions:
-A short is found when the lever of the limit switch is pressed.
-An open is found when the lever of the limit switch is released.
- The following voltages are detected, with the FUSE 2 removed and the breaker of your
ship ON.
※When the plus lead of the tester is connected to “COM” and the minus lead is connected to
“NO”, if 0V is detected with the limit switch ON and approx.7.3V with the limit switch OFF.
THE SENSOR LAMP FOR THE LIMIT SWITCH (connected with the limit switch cables: white and brown)
It is the ON/OFF switch of the sensor lamp for the monitor.
FIGURES OF LIMIT SWITCH CIRCUIT
THE SYMPTOMS OF FAULTY LIMIT SWITCH
UPPER LIMIT SWITCH CAN NOT BE SET “ON”:
The hoist stops after going over the upper limit switch even if the power of the monitor is
OFF.
The fuse 2 will blow, because the hoist motor circuit keeps working even if the hoist is
stopped.
It damages the hoist motor circuit and hoist motor.
LOWER LIMIT SWITCH CAN NOT BE SET “ON”:
When turning the power of the monitor on, the hoist starts to be lowered and reaches the
lower damper rubber after going over the lower limit switch and then stops there.
The fuse 2 will blow, because the hoist motor circuit keeps working even if the hoist is
stopped.
It damages the hoist motor circuit and hoist motor.
Some dust or dirt attached on the limit switch might be the cause of malfunction.
When the hoist is on the lower position than the upper limit switch, it is always raised after putting
FUSE 2 back and turning the breaker of your ship ON. If the hoist stops on the halfway, another
cause is suspected.
