Cable can be spliced using two different methods:
|
• |
Splicing using a grounded junction box |
|
• |
Splicing using a junction box that is isolated from vessel’s ground |
The following items are required.
|
• |
A metal junction box with cable glands designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The junction box must contain a suitable terminal block. The terminal block must provide solid fastening of the cable ends as well as sufficient insulation between the wires. |
|
• |
The necessary length of transducer cable. The cable between the junction box and the transceiver must be supplied by Kongsberg Maritime, and this must be the same type as used on the transducer.
|
Electrical installations can only be done by certified electricians. All necessary tools and instruments required must be available. The installation shipyard must prepare detailed drawings of the electrical system, and identify each cable.
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
NoteDo not solder the wires together using only electrical tape for insulation. This will result in electrical noise and reduced operational performance.
