5.4 Hull unit
General
The sonar hull unit should be under continuous watch as a part
of the vessel’s machinery. As it may be exposed to severe strain
because of pitching and vibrations, it should be inspected for
loose parts.
In addition to lubrication, check for signs of corrosion. If required,
clean the corroded areas and paint over with a high quality
protective paint.
Docking the vessel
When docking the vessel, great care must be taken not to damage
the sonar trunk and protecting blister.
Whenever docking the vessel, the switch S102 at the rear of the
Sonar Control Unit must be switched OFF.
→ Refer to figure 154
When docking the vessel, great care must be taken not to damage
the sonar trunk and protecting blister.
On vessels which have been in dock, the Hull Unit should be
examined and the hoist/lower functions should be tried out and
watched while operating the hoisting/lowering switch (S302 in
the figure in the motor control unit on the Hull Unit). The
hoist/lower motor will automatically stop when the transducer
shaft reaches the upper or lower limit switch.
