Connecting the transducer cables to the Transceiver Unit
The transducer cables are connected to the Transceiver Unit using a large transceiver plug. The transceiver plug must be firmly connected to the side socket on the Transceiver Unit - and the transducer must be submerged in water - before you can transmitting (‘pinging’) with the CS90.
Prerequisites
Image
We assume that you are equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
Context
Once the transceiver plug is connected to the Transceiver Unit, and the transducer is submerged in water, the CS90 can be set to transmit ("ping").
Caution
You must never start CS90 transmissions ("pinging") when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air.
Procedure
1 Make sure that the plug housing is clean and not damaged in any way.
2 Make sure that the gasket is clean and not damaged in any way.
3 Mount the transceiver plug.
a Hold the plug housing on top of the socket.
b Push the plug gently in place.
To avoid unnecessary strain on the connectors, you must insert the transceiver plug straight in.
c Insert the bolts carefully, and make sure that they fit to the threads.
Use the bolts and washers provided for the protecting cover.
d Secure the transceiver plug with all the bolts provided.
Tighten the fastening screws evenly and a little at a time, alternating between screws on opposite sides of the plug, until all the screws are adequately tightened.
Note
Do not apply too much torque on the bolts, as this may damage the threads.
