Chapter 3: Installation 23

Once you are satisfied you can meet all the installation requirements, install the

transducer in accordance with the accompanying installation instructions.

Running transducer cable

Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals for

connection to the ST60+ Tridata instrument. The manner in which you run the

cable will depend on the locations of the transducers and instrument. The

following guidelines are provided:

• If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary deck

gland.

• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing.

• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.

• Do not route the cable through bilges.

• Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights, engines,

radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference.

• The transducer cables are fitted with spade connectors for direct connection

to the rear of the instrument. However, it may be necessary to remove these to

facilitate installation, e.g. if a cable has to be routed through narrow aper-

tures. Extra spade connectors are provided, to replace any that are removed

when running transducer cables. When fitting spade connectors, prepare the

cable as at (a) in the following illustration, then fold back the wire strands and

insert into the spade connector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not

extend beyond the rear of the spade connector insulation, then crimp the con-

nector to the wire.

Observing the above guidelines, run the transducer cables to the ST60+ Tridata

instrument.
