Section 2: Interface Box Description
SBE 45 Interface Box
8
Connections, Switches, and LEDs
Connections:
Cables longer than 3 meters should be installed inside an earthed metal conduit
by a qualified electrician. This minimizes the potential for external signals to
disrupt communication and ensures that high voltage lines (such as the sea
cable) are sufficiently protected. Cables shorter than 3 meters can be used
without shielding when installing or bench testing the instrument.
