The relative position of the contacts is shown on the Acquisition Module label adjacent
to the terminal block. When terminating the connector wires, ensure that the contacts
clamp on the bare wires and not on the wire insulation. Leave the connector plugged
into the Acquisition Module while terminating the individual wires.
17.
Once the transducers are wired correctly, tighten the cable gland so that the transducer
cable is held securely in place. Pull the cable back through the gland to remove the slack
and configure the cable to follow the path of the existing cable. (
18.
Repeat Steps 11 through 17 if you are replacing other cables.
19.
Once all of the cables are replaced, dress with tie wraps (P/N 2-4-9158-001) in groups of
two; A1and C1, D1 and B1, A2 and C2, D2 and B2. Install one cable tie three inches
from the Base Enclosure and another near the point the cables start to bend and
separate out into their respective port (
20.
Prop the Transmitter Electronics Enclosure at an angle on top of the the Base
Electronics Enclosure. Verify the enclosure is stable and does not roll.
21.
Plug the Acquisition cable terminal block to J3 on the Acquisition Module. Use a flat 1/8
inch (3mm) blade screw driver and securely tighten the terminal block mounting
screws to the Acquisition Module.
22.
Wrap the excess cable around the Acquisition Module below the lip of the Base
Enclosure (this prevents pinching the cable when the Transmitter Electronics Enclosure
is installed).
