Connecting the transducer to the other
transceivers
The ES18 transducer can be connected to several different echo sounder transceivers.
It is not practical to include all types of plugs and transceivers in this manual. Use the
cable information provided for the 12-pin Amphenol plug, and connect the transducer as
specified in the relevant echo sounder manual. The other end of the cable is permanently
fixed to the transducer.
Note
The black wires in the transducer cable are not for grounding. You must never connect
these together. You must never connect any of them to vessel ground.
If you need to splice the transducer cable you must use a metal junction box with proper
cable glands. The cable screen must be connected to each cable gland. The cable screen
and the junction box chassis must not be connected to vessel ground. Avoid ground loops.
If you need an extension cable, contact your dealer (or Kongsberg Maritime) for support.
Cable specifications
