ABSTRACT:
A transducer array control system for use with a transducer housing and a transducer array that includes a sensing mechanism that generates a sensor signal having a first state indicative of the use of the transducer array. A control mechanism generates a transducer disabling signal when the sensor signal fails to enter the first state within a selected time period. Methods for disabling a transducer array are also provided.
