Introduction
5.
Carefully finger-tighten the retaining nut clockwise. If any resistance is felt, loosen the retaining nut completely
to prevent cross-threading.
6.
Use the sensor installation/removal tool to tighten the retaining nut clockwise until snug, about a ¼ to ½
additional turn of the retaining nut. Be careful not to over-tighten the retaining nut.
NOTICE:
Incorrect installation or over-tightening can cause damage to the sensor or bulkhead that is not
covered by the warranty.
Sensor Removal
To remove a sensor, insert the sensor installation/removal tool into the retaining nut, then rotate the retaining nut
counterclockwise to loosen. After the retaining nut has been completely unscrewed from the bulkhead, pull the sensor
straight out of the port and place it on a clean surface. Install a port plug if not reinstalling a sensor in the exposed port.
Exposure to water can cause damage or corrosion to the bulkhead connectors not covered by the warranty.
NOTICE:
Do not submerge the bulkhead without a
sensor or port plug installed in all ports.
Installation
1.
Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant to the o-rings
on the plug port.
2.
Remove any excess lubricant from the o-rings and
port plug with a lint-free cloth.
3.
Insert the port plug into the empty port and press
until firmly seated.
4.
Finger-tighten the port plug clockwise to install. If
necessary, use the sensor installation tool to make
sure that the plug is fully seated into the port. The
o-rings will not be visible if a port plug is correctly
installed. Do not over-tighten the port plug.

Port plugs
Port plugs and a tube of o-ring lubricant are included in the
maintenance kit that ships with all 4-port cables.
Sensor Guard and Weight Installation
1.
Carefully slide the sensor guard over the bulkhead and attached sensors/port plugs. Push the sensor guard
toward the bulkhead until the sensor guard threads align with the bulkhead threads.
2.
Carefully hand-tighten the sensor guard clockwise. If any resistance is felt, loosen the sensor guard completely
to prevent cross-threading. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the sensor guard or bulkhead that is not
covered by the warranty.
