4 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is not required; however, an occasional inspection will ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron FPM100. Perform the following tasks periodically:
•Clean the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove paint or markings or may corrode the FPM100 enclosure or seals. Do not use any cleaners containing acetone, as they will deteriorate the plastic enclosure.
•Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the screws holding the cable ties.
•Check the security of the cable connected to the NMEA 2000® interface and tighten if necessary.
•Check the security of all of the pressure transducer connections on the top of the unit and tighten if necessary.
