Installation
Many of the electronic installations today require the use of thread lock liquid for equipment to be secured. Maretron recommends the use of Loctite® 425. When choosing a thread lock liquid, please review the bottle contents for effects of the liquid on thermoplastics.
Cleaning the Maretron device
Several Maretron products will be installed in harsh environments causing the device to accumulate oil and dirt. Cleaning your Maretron product is easy to do with hot soapy water. You may find the need to use a stronger cleaner to eliminate heavy particle buildup. We recommend using a acetone-free solution when doing so.
