2.3.8 Connecting the Fibre Optic Cables
The next step is to connect the transmitter and receiver to the control module.
a) The pulseEKKO PRO low frequency system uses 2 dual fibre optic cables like the one shown
in Figure 2-16. These cables should be tested periodically (Section 7.2: P99) and inspected for
kinks or signs of damage and repaired if necessary (Section 9.6: P113).
Figure 2-16: Dual fibre optic cable used with the transmitter and receiver. The black and grey strain reliefs on the end of the
cable (left) plug into the same coloured fibre optic receptacles on the top of the transmitter and receiver (see Figure 2-17). The
connection on the other end of the cable (right) connects to either fibre optic receptacle on the control module (see Figure 2-18).
b) To connect the pulseEKKO PRO in the standard configuration shown in Figure 2-1, plug the
dual fibre optics cable into the transmitter making sure the colour on the strain relief jacket
matches the colour of the receptacle door, black to black and grey to grey (Figure 2-17).
Confirm that the fibre optic connection is seated properly by pushing down gently until the
connection “clicks” into place.
c) The pulseEKKO PRO system can be used with a pulseEKKO 100 transmitter (Section 3.2.8:
P41). If the transmitter is a pulseEKKO 100 transmitter, the fibre optic

colour (grey to grey and black to black). Push the fibre optic cable down until you can feel it “click” into place.
