3.1.2 Receive Module
The Receive Module has two connectors; the female connector is for the Projector cable, the male
connector is for the deck lead that goes to the SIM. There is a securing ‘ear’ on top of the Receive
Module to secure the cables with a cable tie or other similar securing methods. Seat the 0.439m
projector cable first. A light spray of silicone lubricant (3M Silicone Lubricant,
3M ID: 62-4678-4930-
3) will aid in seating the connectors.
Silicone grease is never to be used
. The deck lead passes
through the hydrophone pole and then through the flange opening. Seat the deck lead after seating
the projector cable. ENSURE that all connections are tight with no visible gaps.
