EARTHING - FURTHER REMINDER 
 
THIS  UNIT  MUST  BE  EARTHED  /  GROUNDED  BEFORE  ANY  POWER  IS  APPLIED.  
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY REPRESENT A SEVERE HAZARD TO BOTH EQUIPMENT 
AND  PERSONNEL.   

The  front  of  the  CSP-S  must 

be  grounded  to  the  ship’s  ground 

system.  This is achieved by attaching a short length of thick wire or earth braid from the 
CSP-S front panel earth stud, to an appropriate earthing point on the vessel.  If a suitable 
earth  cannot  be found,  the CSP-S earth stud should be connected directly to the water 
using an adequate length of heavy wire, with the insulation removed from the submerged 
end in the water.  A weight will also be necessary to keep the wire submerged when the 
vessel is underway.  

 
SYSTEM INTER-CONNECTIONS 

 

OUTPUT CABLE CONNECTION 

 

ENSURE  POWER  TO  UNIT  IS  TURNED  OFF  BEFORE  ANY  CONNECTIONS  ARE 
MADE. 

Connect the high voltage cable to the CSP-S front panel using the high voltage 

connector.    The  HV  connector  has  2  small  sensing  pins  which  will  deactivate  the  high 
voltage  if  mains  power  is  applied  without  the  connector  in  place.    Ensure  the  HV 
connector  is  fully  mated  to  the  unit.    The  two  larger  sockets  should  never  be  at  a  high 
potential but it makes sense never to attempt to touch these. 
 
If  you  have  our  HV  junction  box,  the  two  conductors  of  the  acoustic  source  -  boomer 
plate  or  sparker  should  be  connected  to  this  before  connecting  to  the  CSP-S.    The 
terminal wing nuts should be tightened onto  clean copper or tinned copper terminals. A 
good connection is necessary as high currents pass through these terminals. Ensure that 
the +ve or red terminal is connected to the + mark inside the HV Junction box. The black 
or 

–ve terminal should be connected to the  – mark inside the HV junction Box. Ensure 

that 

the microswitch ‘clicks’ when the top cover is secured. The HV Junction Box can be 

bulkhead  mounted  before  the  cover  is  secured.  In  the  situation  of  the  power  cable  / 
sound  source  being  caught  on  an  object,  the  HV  cable  is  pulled  from  the  HV  Junction 
Box, rather than the CSP-S unit being pulled onto the floor. 
 
The  junction  box  is  usually  supplied  with  a  1.5 metre  lead,  terminated  in  our  HV 
connector. The junction box is fitted with a microswitch which is connected to sense pins 
in  the  HV  plug,  ie  deactivating  the  high  voltage  charger  if  the  lid  is  removed  and  the 
‘INTERLOCK’ light will illuminate.
