ABLE
(SAU↔ITU)
The transducer cable ensures the powering and the synchronization between the SAU and
the ITU, and the data communication between the SAU and the BFU - through the ITU. It
has been designed and built to work in vessel environment and shall be carefully
manipulated and installed to avoid any system malfunction. The following characteristics
and constraints shall be considered.
CAUTION: DAMAGE TO THE TRANSDUCER CABLE IF EXCESSIVE STRESS OR
TENSION OR IF NOT PROPERLY SECURED
No excessive stress or tension shall apply on the transducer cable.
It shall be secured in such a way that it does not get damaged during cruise in rough
conditions.
CAUTION: FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS, NEVER CUT A TRANSDUCER CABLE
When installing a transducer cable within a pipe, it may happen that the pipe is too
narrow, and you could be tempted to cut the cable to facilitate the cable path. Please note
that it is prohibited to cut the cable as it is part of the EMC protection.
If any cable size issue, please contact iXblue Support.
