To extend the life and increase the reliability of the connectors, apply a thin film of silicone dielectric
grease, such as Novagard G624 general purpose silicone grease or an equivalent, to the entire surface of
each male pin. A small amount of grease should also be applied to the opening of each female socket.
NOTE: Remember to always install dummy connectors on the connectors
of the tow cable and the tow vehicle tow cable connector.
4.1.4 Storage
When not in use, all the components of the 3200-XS Sub-Bottom Profiling System should be packed in
their original shipping containers, in the same manner in which they were originally shipped, and stored
in a dry area.
4.1.5 Restoring the Operating System
The 3200-XS Topside Processor contains an 80-GB hard drive for both the operating system and the
application software. A separate 1-TB hard drive is also included for data recording. An image file of the
80-GB hard drive is provided on a thumb drive. This thumb drive can be used to completely restore the
80-GB hard drive to its original shipped factory configuration in the unlikely event of its failure. For
instructions on how to restore the operating system hard drive, refer to the provided user software
manual.
