Catch Sensors | V1 | Servicing and Maintenance
Results
Once charged, the operational life time can be up to approximately 740 hours for a Catch
sensor and 19 hours for a Catch Explorer.
The operational life time depends especially on the uplink power of the sensor, but also
on the sensor settings (e.g. sounding range, uplink frequency, options).
Maintenance
Only an approved Marport dealer can access the internal unit. Warranty will become void
if anyone other than an approved dealer tries to do internal maintenance duties on the
sensor.
CAUTION: Never remove shoulder bolts directly from the end cap (black part).
Shoulder bolts are attached to cables and trying to remove them will damage the
cables.
CAUTION: Always inspect and correctly install all the o-ring seals inside the
sensor when doing internal maintenance duties. If o-ring seals are worn out,
missing or incorrectly installed, sensor may be flooded.
Cleaning the Sensor
Wash the sensor with fresh water before you charge or store it.
Regularly clean the pull cord magnet or it may stop working: remove the metal disk fixed
on the housing and clean the magnet with a swab or Q-tip. See Replacing the Pull Cords
on page 65 to know how to remove the components.
Regularly check that the sensor is clean. If not:
• Remove any marine life with a piece of wood or screwdriver.
• Wash away mud or debris with warm water.
CAUTION: Do not use highly abrasive materials or jet wash.
CAUTION: Special care should be taken with sensors and components sensitive
to mechanical shock or contamination.
