Connecting a Transducer

All transducers must be connected to the TDT1000 through a test cable

. If the transducer has a 

connector, you need a purchased OEM test cable. It must match the brand of the instrument and the 
number of pins in the connector of the transducer.
If the transducer terminates in bare wires, go to “Transducer with NO Connector.”

Transducer with Connector

Test Cable

IMPORTANT

: Each OEM has specific test cables. Be sure you have the correct test cable. Many 

cables look alike or have the same connector.

Always use the SensorCheck app to determine the correct test cable.

1. Open the SensorCheck app.
2. Select the three horizontal bars in the upper left corner (Figure 4).

3. From the drop-down menu, select “Search Part Number.” This will bring up the search field.
4. Input the Airmar part number located on the transducer tag. As you enter this number the app 

will display the correct test “Cable to use” part number for that transducer.
