9.4 Starting up the Hull Unit
Introduction
Observe the following procedure to start up the Hull Unit. To
ensure correct performance, tick off every item when the action has
been carried out.
WARNING Before starting up the sonar equipment on a
recently launched vessel, make sure the depth
under the keel is sufficient for the transducer to
be lowered safely.
When starting up the equipment on board a
vessel in dry dock, check first under the vessel
and inside the sonar room. Personnel, tools and
other potential obstructions must be kept clear
of the transducer and related lowering and
hoisting machinery to avoid personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
Functional check
Before you start the functional check, make sure that the mains
fuses for the hull unit has been disconnected in the fuse box. This
check will only requir e the +24 Vdc standby power from the
Transceiver Unit.
