Transducer Maintenance

How to Abrade the Transducer​

Please watch this short video before abrading your transducer.

Notes​

  • Abrade the top surface of the transducer (shown in green on the image below).
  • Never polish the lower surfaces of the transducer (shown in purple on the image below) – this will result in damage to the sensor and failure of the transducer.

Abrasion

  • Be cautious to ensure the abrasion block remains horizontal to the surface.
  • Only abrade the transducer once housed in the sensor body.
  • Use a new piece of abrasion paper for each abrasion.

How to Replace the Transducer​

Please watch this short video before replacing your transducer.

Always ensure the sensor is dry before removing the transducer.
  • Remove the 2 screws holding the Clip in place and remove the Clip.
  • Using the provided bottle opener – pry the sensor upwards, it will raise about 15mm.
  • Pull the transducer out.
  • Apply a small amount of grease to the perimeter of the new transducer.
  • Align the new transducer with the key and push until the lower edge is flush with the main body of the sensor.
  • Reattach the Clip using the 2 screws provided.
