SWIFT 20 Sensors Maintenance 125
Low-Profile Transducer Interface
Important This section includes information related to the Low-Profile
Transducer Interface (TI). For SWIFT transducers designed to
operate with the newer Mini TI, there is a separate manual that
documents the Mini TI software utilities (MTS part number
100214316).
The electronics for your transducer require a minimum amount of maintenance.
Ensure that they remain in good condition by checking the ventilation and
cleaning the fan filter at regular intervals.
Daily
Check the Loe-Profile TI cooling daily. A cooling fan is located at the back of the
unit. Do not block, obstruct, or reduce the air flow from the fan. Items placed in
front of the fan will restrict the airflow and cause the electronic components to
overheat. Remove any items (such as boxes or spare parts) that block the cooling
fan.
Monthly
Inspect the foam air filter located in the front and back of the transducer interface
monthly, or after very 160 hours of operation. Clean the filter if it is dirty.
Depending on the operating environment, you may need to check and clean the
filter more or less frequently. (For example, if there is a significant amount of
dust present, you will want to check the filter as often as once a week. If the air
quality in your lab is very good, you may only have to check the filter once every
two months.)
Clean the filter by vacuuming it. If you cannot remove the dirt, wash the filter in
warm water with a mild detergent. Check the filter for damage and replace it if
necessary (MTS part number 10-087-561).
To remove the filter:
1. Loosen the screws that hold the fan cover in place.
2. Pull off the fan cover and set it aside.
3. Pull out the foam filter.
