SWIFT 20 Sensors 124 Maintenance
Transducer
The transducer requires a minimum amount of maintenance.
Do not pressure-wash the transducer or clean it with solvents that would
degrade its silastic seal.
Pressure-washing the transducer or cleaning it with certain solvents can
damage it or degrade its silastic seal.
Avoid pressure-washing the transducer. Use only solvents that will not degrade
the silastic seal.
Do not use high-pressure-air to clean debris from around the transducer
connectors.
High-pressure-air can damage the silastic seals.
Use a fine wire brush and low air-pressure [0.07 MPa (10 psi)] to clean debris
from around the transducer connectors.
Daily
1. Inspect the transducer daily for any cracks that may indicate fatigue.
Do not use a transducer if you suspect that there is fatigue damage.
2. Inspect the transducer for debris.
Carefully remove any debris that may be in the holes on the side of the
transducer. Do not use a screwdriver or other rigid tool to pry out the debris.
Prying may damage the transducer.
3. If necessary, hand wash the transducer with a gentle detergent, such as dish
soap, and a soft sponge or brush. Be very careful when cleaning around
areas where RTV is used to seal the transducer so as not to break the seal.
Important Strong cleaners or solvents may damage the RTV seal and void
the warranty.
