CAUTION
Follow these rules if welding is done on the vessel after installation of Kistler-Morse ®
sensors/transducers. The electrical current of the welder may pass through the
sensor/transducer, causing damage to it and possibly to the signal processor. To avoid
damage, follow these precautions:
1. Disconnect the sensor/transducer cables from the signal processor.
2. Ground the welder as close to the welding joint as possible. The welding ground must be
between the sensor/transducer and the weld joint to prevent the welding current from going
through the sensor/transducer to earth ground.
NOTE
High temperatures can damage sensors/transducers. If you are welding in the vicinity of a
sensor/transducer, monitor the temperature of the metal adjacent to the sensor/transducer. If it
becomes too hot to touch, stop welding immediately and remove the sensor/transducer before
continuing. Prior to reinstalling the sensor/tranducer, verify that no damage has occurred.
