Array Transducers
Connect an array transducer to any of the three available array ports.
Caution: You must freeze the system before connecting or disconnecting
a transducer.
Note: When transducer connectors are being attached to or disconnected from the
system, resistance may be encountered due to the special shielding material inside the
connectors. This is normal for these transducers.
To connect an array transducer:
1. Hold the transducer connector with the cable extending upward from
the connector.
2. Insert the connector pins into the system port. Adjust the connector
until you can turn the lever on the transducer connector clockwise to
lock it in position.
This secures the connector in position and ensures the best
possible contact.
3. Place the transducer in the transducer holder and drape the cable
through the cable hangers.
To disconnect an array transducer:
Caution: To avoid damaging the transducer cable, do not pull on the cable to
disconnect the transducer. Use the following instructions.
1. Turn the lock on the connector housing counterclockwise until
it unlocks.
2. Firmly grasp the transducer connector and carefully remove it from the
system port.
3. Store each transducer in its protective carrying case.
