Warning
The equipment to which this manual applies must only be used for the purpose for which it was designed. Improper use or maintenance may cause damage to the equipment and/or injury to personnel. The user must be familiar with the contents of the appropriate manuals before attempting to install, operate or work on the equipment. [. . . ] · Lowering will be stopped automatically when the top of the transducer shaft makes contact with the lower limit switch S305. · If necessary, the lowering operation can easily be stopped in any position by setting the switch S302 to STOP position. Set the hoist/lower switch S302 to HOIST position to 11 hoist the transducer back up. · Hoisting will be stopped automatically when the top of the transducer makes contact with the upper limit switch
S304.
· If necessary, the hoisting operation can easily be stopped in any position by setting the switch S302 to STOP position. Repeat the hoist/lower operation to find the best 12 position for a permanent fastening of the flexible transducer cable. 13

Switch off the motor protecting switch S301 by pressing the operating handle downwards to OFF position.
The hull unit is now ready for further cabling (Ethernet cable to the transceiver unit for hoist/lower control) and system testing. The system test is provided in the relevant sonar installation manual.
Starting up the wheelhouse units
If the AC mains plugs on the Processor and Beamformer Units have been disconnected, the initial start of the sonar must be made by pressing the start switch S101 on each of these units. Each switch is located behind the small lid on the front panel of the unit.
Note
In order to prevent inadvertent use of the sonar, the AC mains plug must be disconnected when the vessel is in dry dock. Operating the sonar with the transducer array in air may cause serious damage to the system.
Initial start-up of the wheelhouse units
Observe the following procedure to start up the sonar for the first time. The start-up procedure for daily use is described in the operator and reference manuals. 1 2 3 4 Connect the AC mains plugs to the Processor and Beamforming Units, and ensure that 230 Vac is present. Press the Range H- and Range H+ buttons in the Range field on the Operator Panel repeatedly.
