Simrad ES38-12
Transducer cable splicing
If you need to cut or lengthen the transducer cable, you must splice it correctly. The
cable between the junction box and the transceiver must then be supplied by Simrad,
and this must be the same type as used on the transducer(s). To splice the cable, use a
metal junction box with EMC cable glands and a terminal block. The terminal block
must provide solid fastening of the cable ends as well as sufficient insulation between
the wires. We recommend that the cable screen is connected to the junction box chassis
using the EMC cable glands, but if you do this, the junction box chassis must not be
connected to vessel’s ground.
Note
Do not solder the wires together with only electrical tape for insulation. This will result
in electrical noise and reduced operational performance.
Do not connect the cable screen to the vessel’s ground.
