2.3.2 How to connect the FA-1701 transponder unit
Referring to the figure and table below, connect the FA-1701. The figure below also
shows the recommended entry point for connected cables. (Based on a vessel con-
figured to use all WAGO connection points.)
The WAGO connection points are individually marked on the TRX-PWR PC board.
Cable entry #8 should be used for DISP cabling, regardless of vessel configuration,
as the entry hole is larger than the other entry points.
Cable entry #2 should be used for LAN connection, regardless of vessel configuration,
to avoid excess stress on the LAN cable.
Note 1: The cable entry points (for the top row only) are protected from foreign mate-
rial with small plastic spacers. Remove the spacers as required when connecting ca-
bles to the FA-1701.
All cables should be secured at the cable clamps (indicated as #1 through #15 in the
figure above) using cable ties (included). The LAN cable in particular should be se-
cured with the outer sheath of the LAN cable on the cable clamp.
