Warning
Do not open the transducer module. Injury or death may result. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
The Transducer Module has a single underwater matable connection. This connector is used to connect the
Transducer Module to the Power Module via FarSounder's Transducer Module Connection Cable. When
properly installed, the face protrusion and the rear connector should be at the 12 o'clock position.

The connector can be connected dry or underwater. Before connecting, sure that the wet end connector
on the cable is lubricated as described in Greasing and Mating. If connecting underwater, lubricant may
not be necessary.
The wet end connector should not be left unconnected while wet or underwater for extended periods of
time. A Connection Cable End Cap (F24557) is supplied as standard for use during transport/installation
and extended periods of unconnected wet or underwater use.
Installation
The Transducer Module has been designed to allow for a simple, one cable connection to the rest of the
sonar hardware. Twelve holes are located around the Transducer Module's flange to allow for mechanical
attachment to the vessel. The connector on the rear of the Transducer Module is capable of a wet mating
and un-mating. If necessary, this allows the Transducer Module to be installed and removed from the vessel
by a diver underwater, rather than dry docking or hauling the vessel. Here are the primary steps for installing
the Transducer Module into a pre-installed fairing mount.
1. Unpack the Transducer Module. Ensure that there is no debris caught in the connector pins.
