3.1.1
8011M Connector
NOTE:
In early 8011M systems, the transducer connector is a Spirit, which
is the same as earlier EG&G, EdgeTech, and ORE Offshore deck units.
Transducers from these systems can be used with the 8011M. However,
the output power is slightly reduced if the shorter (32meter cable)
transducer is used.
In the current 8011M systems, the connector is an Amphenol. The pin out for the later Amphenol type
connector transducer connectors is as follows:
PIN
DESCRIPTION
A
White high side transducer
B
Black low side transducer
C
Shield
D*
Shorted to E
E*
Shorted to D
Table 3-1: Current 8011M Amphenol Connector Transducer Connection
*Pins D & E are shorted on the transducer side of the connection so that the deck unit can sense whether the
Transducer is plugged in.
3.1.2
Legacy 8011M Connector
The pin out for the early spirit type connector transducer connectors is as follows:
PIN
DESCRIPTION
1
Shield
2

Table 3-2: Legacy 8011M Spirit Type Connector Transducer Connections
*Pins 4 & 5 are shorted on the transducer side of the connection so that the deck unit can sense whether
the Transducer is plugged in.
