Transducer
Uncoil the transducer cable and put the transducer into the water. Place the
transducer at the same depth as the diver, or as deep as possible but not
right on the ocean floor. Secure the cable to the side of the vessel. Allow
yourself sufficient cable to move about.
1. Apply a small coating of grease, such as Dow Corning® 4 Electrical
Insulating Compound, onto the contacts of the extension cable plug.
2. Plug the transducer into the connector at the bottom of the ear cup.
Caution: The transducer is most subject to damage
when it is attached to the extension cable, as it can
swing easily and hit objects while being lowered into
the water. Particular care must be taken to avoid this
occurrence.
3. Lower the transducer into the water and position it below the
thermocline. If there are excessive currents in the area, or if
operating while under way, attach a small weight to the transducer
to prevent it from drifting upwards or away from the boat.
