Features
Dry-side installation
Transducers are bonded with epoxy to the dry side of the hull, sea chests, coolers or pipework, with no through-hull penetrations.
Suitable materials
Suitable for materials that transmit ultrasound well, including FRP, GRP, aluminium, steel, stainless steel, titanium and rigid plastics; professional installation is recommended for FRP/GRP sandwich construction; not suitable for wooden hulls.
LCD interface
Colour LCD screen with directional keypad for monitoring and configuration, plus a history log, status and fault LEDs, and an RS232 port for remote communication.

Notes
- The number of transducers is configured after assessing vessel type, structure and areas to be protected.
- Power consumption is measured during operation at 230 V AC.
- The AC voltage selector must be set manually to 110 V or 230 V; check the switch position before installation.
- The system prevents biofouling; it cannot remove established hard fouling, so surfaces must be cleaned before installation.
