Introduction
Ultrasound is mainly used in industry, medicine, for cleaning purposes… Our device works on the
principle of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy through a transducer. The transducer
transmits ultrasonic vibrations that resonate through the hull of the boat and thus prevents the formation
of biofilm on the hull. Ultrasonic vibrations also create a cavitation effect below the water surface. The
cavitation effect destroys the cells of microorganisms and stops them from adhering to the underwater
part of the hull. Microorganisms and biofilm are food for algae and seashells that adhere to the hull and
underwater parts of a boat, such as rudder, propeller…
Ultrasonic antifouling is environmentally friendly.
Follow the instruction manual and thus correctly install the device. The hull of the boat and underwater
parts of the boat will stay clean for a few seasons. Underwater anodes can be replaced during a lift-out
or in the water.
Warning
Install the ultrasonic device on the boat after cleaning the hull thoroughly and applying the antifouling
paint. Device will prevent the growth of organisms and partly clean the hull. Place the device on the
inside of the boat.
Device is suitable for plastic and metallic hulls (aluminum, iron).

The location of Master Box and Transducers
At the beginning it is necessary to find a suitable place for the MASTER BOX location. It is best suited
somewhere in the middle of the boat or in the engine room and in a dry place. We suggest you place the
generator in a room with other electrical devices.
It is necessary to focus on the location of the transducers and the length of the cables. The cables for
the transducers are 8m long, the cable for powering the device is 4m long. The master box must be
connected to the service battery 12 or 24 V system. The battery must be in good condition. We recom-
mend a 150W solar system for constant power supply. The device must be permanently connected to
the voltage.
TRANSDUCERS are mounted according to the type of boat and in the area where the fouling is
stronger.
The installation of transducer on the hull.
Warning! The device will work properly only if the transducer and the surface of the hull fuse perfectly.
The transducer mounting location should be a flat surface so that the transducer will have good contact.
Sand the transducer location well with the sandpaper, which is included in the package. Paint is not
allowed in the area of attachment of the transducer! Wipe the area with an alcohol wipe and clean it
well, to degrease and remove the dust. Similarly wipe Transducer or Adapter. Wait 5 minutes to dry
well.
Transducer is installed on the inner side of the hull. It has to be installed on the location, where there is no
additional reinforcement of the hull and no shaft bearer 20-30 cm around. If you have a “sandwich” hull,
you will need to remove a small section of inner core allowing the transducer to make contact with
the outer skin of the hull.
Transducers are mounted directly to the hull or with ADAPTER (recommended).
Important. Use the supplied adhesive Epoxy 2K. Read the instructions supplied with the glue! From
each tube squeeze the same amount. Mix well about 1 minute. The transducer is applied onto the mixed
adhesive and pushed hard on the location of the bonding. The glue achieves hold within a few minutes.
Stabilize with a cross of adhesive tape (recommended). Adhesive reaches its strength after 1h. Leave it
to dry for min. 1h at 20 deg. C. !
Apply a thin layer of contact grease OKS11 to the the transducer. Screw the transducer onto the adapt-
er. Fasten it tight to remove any air bubbles. After 10 min. tight it again!
Do not wind the cable because of the coil effect!
For the laying of the transducer cable we recommend the use self extinguishing rigid conduit.
The cable surge can be cut. If it is too short, it can be extended with a protective box. Max lenght up to
12m.
Main Box installation
The best position for the generator is near the battery you attempt to plug into. The cable for battery
connection is 4 meters long. The position of the installation depends on the length of the cables of
transducers and generator.
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position.
Remove the lid from the main box and fix it with screws on the wall or any other convenient place. We
suggest you place the generator in a room with other electrical devices. Run the cable of the transducer
through the cable thread of the generator and connect it to the connectors (1). Polarity is not important.
Fasten the cable threads.
Connect the supply cable to the connector (2) and directly to the 12V or 24V battery.
First connect the + pole, then the - pole!
Set the DIP switch (3) according to your needs. Settings on last page.

Maintenance
Device Smart 2 lite does not require any maintenance. Check the transducers periodically. They work
properly if you hear a quiet clicking.
In the event that the transducer loses contact with the hull, turn the power off at the main switch and
repeat bonding. Use epoxy glue.
If the device is not working, open the generator housing and check the electrical fuses. Check the power
supply from the battery and reset the device using the main switch.

The warranty period of the device is 5 years upon presenting the copy of the receipt.
Warnings
When voltage drops bellow 11V (12V DC system) or 22V (24V DC system) Smart 2 lite switches to
minimum settings. Battery indicator single blink, transducer indicators on.
When voltage drops bellow 10,5V (12V DC system) or 21V (24V DC system) Smart 2 lite switches OFF.
Battery indicator double blink, transducer indicators off.
When battery is charged Smart 2 lite switches back to normal (as set).
