1.4. Interconnect the System
All we are going to do here is interconnect the system just enough so that we can test the ADP it-
self. We will do this “right out of the box” so you can quickly gain some experience in how to
set up and use ADP. Later, you can refer to the
RiverSurveyor System Manual for detailed in-
formation on how to interconnect other peripherals that may comprise your system. To begin, re-
fer to the figure and procedure that applies to your type of RiverSurveyor system.
1.4.1. Interconnection Procedure – Standard ADP RiverSurveyor System
_
Locate the ADP serial communications cable for the Standard ADP RiverSurveyor system
(
Figure 1-1
) and connect the cable’s keyed, 8-pin, wet-mateable connector to the ADP.
Caution : When mating the connector to the ADP, push the connector with enough force
to overcome the resistance of the wet-mateable pins. Push the connector until its face is
flush with the female bulkhead connector. Do not simply tighten the locking sleeve during
the mating process; just tightening the sleeve will not ensure proper pin alignment nor will
it supply the required force to ensure a waterproof seal.
