Depth sensor storage
The ProDSS optional depth sensor accesses water through ports located
in the bulkhead (
Figure 59 ). Although not directly accessible, correct
maintenance and storage is necessary for reliable operation.
The depth sensor can be stored dry, in water-saturated air or submerged
in water.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the sensor’s strain gauge, do not
store the sensor in corrosive solutions.
Depth sensor maintenance
Periodically clean the depth ports with the syringe included in the
ProDSS maintenance kit (626990). Fill the syringe with clean water and
gently force water into one of the ports. Flush until clean water flows from
the opposite depth port.
NOTICE: Do not insert objects into the depth ports. Damage
to the depth transducer from incorrect cleaning is not
covered by the warranty.
