Sonic Shield Installation Notes
Installing a SonicShield Ultrasonic Antifouling system is straightforward. It requires No Through Hull drilling and includes simple Plug and Play technology. Once running there is no maintenance and the system will protect your hull and boats props or outdrives 24/7.
Choosing the right system for your boat is simple. Less than 6M requires 1 transducer, Less than 10M 2 and Less than 20M 3. For boats over 20M multiple systems or a custom unit can be supplied. Location of the transducers will depend on the type of propulsion of your boat. For standard shaft driven boats locating the transducer above the P brackets is advised. For Outdrives / Stern Drives locating the transducers as close to the stern of the boat will provide optimum cleaning. Boats driven with outboard engines have less specific locations and as such can be installed in areas of easiest access.
The only other consideration is if you require a DC powered unit or if you want the flexibility of the duel powered AC + DC system. The Micro range are housed within a robust IP65 rated enclosure and benefit from the flexibility of allowing simple multiple unit installs if required. They take their power direct from your motor boat’s leisure battery. To ensure total protection a charging source such as an onboard battery charger, solar panel or wind generator is recommended.
The Standard range has the addition of the dual power input allowing the system to be powered by either your boats batteries or when available take the power direct from shore power. The system will automatically switch to AC power, no user input is required.
All SonicShield systems are controlled by an intelligent microprocessor which continuously monitors the status of the incoming power. Each control unit has an average consumption of just 0.4Amps/Hr. When AC power is detected or your battery is being charged we will automatically increase the power to your transducers. More power, More cleaning.
