7.2.2.3 Heyco Cable Grip
To protect your transducer during deployment, Campbell Scientific offers the
Heyco cable grip (FIGURE
) to clamp the transducer to the submerged end
of a 1-inch PVC pipe (FIGURE
). The PVC pipe will help protect the
sensor and cable from debris and disturbances while also providing a more
secure means of anchoring the sensor to minimize movement. The Heyco
fitting is not meant to be water tight and water will likely fill the submerged
pipe behind the fitting. A 1-inch female adapter socket with FPT threads is
needed between the Heyco cable grip and 1-inch PVC pipe. This adapter
socket is available at any store that sells PVC pipe.
