9.1 Cable routing
Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable.
Important:
To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF
radio antenna cables as possible.
Important:
The transducer cable’s connector is supplied with a separate locking collar
assembly. Ensure that you route the cable all the way to your compatible
sonar module or MFD
before attaching the locking collar.
• Check that the cable is long enough. If you are installing split-pair
transducers, you must use a Y-cable (A80478) along with an extension
cable to connect the transducers to your to your compatible sonar module
or MFD.
• Use grommets in any pass-through holes to prevent damage to the
transducer cable.
• Secure the cable at regular intervals using suitable cable clips (not
supplied).
• Take care not to apply excessive strain to the cable where it leaves the
transducer. Where possible, allow the cable to lay naturally as it leaves the
transducer, before securing it with cable clips.
• Do not bend the transducer cable beyond its minimum bend radius. This is
particularly important at the point where the cable leaves the transducer.
• Any excess cable should be coiled up at a convenient location.
9.2 Attaching the connector locking collar
The supplied cable is provided with a separate locking collar assembly,
ensuring that the cable connection is secure.
This procedure describes how to attach the locking collar to the cable
connector. The locking collar parts are supplied in a separate bag, in the
package with your product.
Important:
Ensure that you route the cable all the way to its destination before
attaching the locking collar.
1. Slide the locking collar over the end of the connector, then push it
towards the cable-end of the connector. Ensure that the lugs on the
locking collar (labelled ‘A’ in the illustration), are closest to the plug-end of
the connector.
2. Slide the split-ring over the end of the connector, then push it towards the
cable-end of the connector. Ensure that the tabs on the split-ring (labelled
‘B’ in the illustration), are closest to the cable-end of the connector.
The split-ring slides easily for approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) onto the
connector, before butting up against the connector moulding.
