Setting Up the Pathfinder OEM System
To set up the OEM Pathfinder:
1. Place the Pathfinder transducer face down on a soft surface.
2. With an ESD wrist strap on, remove the top cover on the transducer. Loosen, but do not remove
the two screws next to the cable exit slot.
3. Connect the five cables and ground wire. The 3-pin beam cables have the beam number on the
connector and are color-coded: Beam 1 = black, Beam 2 = red, Beam 3 = yellow, Beam 4 = blue.
Attach the only 4-pin connector to the board.
4. Remove the screw and attach the ground wire lug. Tighten the ground screw to 4 IN-LB.
5. Thread the cables through the slot and attach the cover. Tighten the four M3 screws on the cover
to 4 IN-LB. Tighten the two screws next to the cable exit slot to hold the cables in place.
6. Connect P1 to the Electronics Chassis.
7. Attach the Power/Comm cable to the computer’s serial or Ethernet communication port.
8. C10.7 to 36 VDC power. The power supply should be able to source at least 1.5 to 2 Amps.
