Connecting the transducer to the other transceivers
The ES18 transducer can be connected to several different echo sounder transceivers.
It is not practical to include all types of plugs and transceivers in this manual. Use the cable information provided for the 12-pin Amphenol plug, and connect the transducer as specified in the relevant echo sounder manual. The other end of the cable is permanently fixed to the transducer.
Note
The black wires in the transducer cable are not for grounding. You must never connect these together. You must never connect any of them to vessel ground.
If you need to splice the transducer cable you must use a metal junction box with proper cable glands. The cable screen must be connected to each cable gland. The cable screen and the junction box chassis must not be connected to vessel ground. Avoid ground loops. If you need an extension cable, contact your dealer (or Kongsberg Maritime) for support.
