1.7.2.2
Local or Remote Electronics Enclosure with Remote Preamplifiers
IMPORTANT:
The cable lengths for a given pair of transducers, including the preamplifier-to-electronics enclosure
cables, must be equal to within ±4 in. (10 cm) of each other.
Note:
A dual preamplifier is typically used in these installations, and you must note the labeled upstream and
downstream connections on the preamplifier. Be sure to connect the upstream transducer to the upstream
connection on the preamplifier and in the XGF868i electronics enclosure. Follow the same procedure for the
downstream connections.
The remote preamplifier (PRE868) uses a transformer (p/n 705-603) which connected to the
“XDCR”
BNC
connector on the preamplifier (see
).
For an XGF868i system configured with either a local or remote electronics enclosure and a
dual remote preamplifier
,
wire the transducers and preamplifier as follows:
1.
Refer to
and use the pair of coaxial cables with BNC to BNC connectors supplied by
Panametrics (or equivalent cables) to connect both
CH1
transducers to the dual preamplifier, using the
connections on the transformer.
2.
If an optional lightning protector is installed, connect it between the preamplifier and the electronics enclosure.
Locate the device near the electronics enclosure and install it according to the supplied wiring documentation
for the device.
3.
for the location (
J3
) of the connections for the Channel 1 transducers in the electronics
enclosure. Using the supplied coaxial cables with BNC to flying lead connectors (or equivalent cables), route the
cables through one of the conduit holes in the electronics enclosure and connect the preamplifier to terminal
block
J3
. Secure the cables with the cable clamp.
Note:
The
RED
cable leads are the SIG(+) leads and the
BLACK
cable leads are the RTN(-) leads.
WARNING!
Before connecting the transducers, take them to a safe area and discharge any
static buildup by shorting the center conductor of the transducer cables to the
metal shield on the cable connector.
CAUTION!
As part of maintaining the FM/CSA environmental rating (TYPE 4) on the remote
preamplifier, thread sealant is required on all conduit entries.
