Daily operation
Once installed and put to use, the sensor will
automatically be switched on once the
waterswitch is activated. After an initial startup,
the sensor starts transmission of the current
temperature. When the sensor is not in use, check
that the sensor lamp (D) is not flashing from time
to time, as this indicates that the sensor is on and
is discharging its batteries.
If you operate with Fast update rate, the sensor
must be charged approximately every 24 hours.
Used with Normal or Slow update r ates, the
operational life is approximately 75 or 150 hours
respectively. The optimal sensor charging
temperature is from +10 to +25° C.
Note that charging sensors at sub-zero temperatures can create
explosive gasses. Simrad AS assumes no liability for the
improper charging of sensors or the use of chargers not specified
in Simrad’s sensor charging documentation.
