Fitting instructions:
PLEASE NOTE - THIS CABLE CARRIES LOW LEVEL SIGNALS WHICH ARE VULNERABLE TO ELECTRO- MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE MSL600 THAT THE BRAIDED SCREEN, AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL CORES ARE CONNECTED AS SPECIFIED.
The cable comprises a brown and white twisted pair, and a black and white twisted pair. During the following procedure, care should be taken to ensure that the two white wires are connected correctly.
The Shielded Endbell is supplied with assembly instructions, which includes an exploded drawing. In the following description, the part references [in square brackets] refer this drawing.
Terminate the new length of cable to look like the existing transducer cable as follows: The drain wire has a yellow sleeve, the white wire, that is twisted with the brown wire, has a red sleeve. All conductors should preferably have crimped ferrules for insertion in the terminal blocks.
Cut off the terminations on the existing transducer cable
The following instructions refer to both plug and receptacle assemblies:
Slide the endbell components [parts 1 to 5] on to the cable.
Strip the outer insulation back 38mm
Pull the exposed braid back over the outer insulation and remove the inner foils to expose the twisted cores for the full 38mm.
Using an indelible marker, mark the white wire in the white/black twisted pair.
Untwist the wires and strip the insulation back 4mm.
Solder pins/sockets to wires.
Fit the 'O' ring from the endbell kit in the groove of the connector.
Push the support sleeve [part 6] onto the cable, and over the braid.
Insert the pins/sockets into the back of the connector as follows: position A - marked white, B - black, C - white, D - brown. The pins/sockets must be pressed well into the housing, using a narrow implement, to snap into place.
Pull the support sleeve [part 6] forwards towards the connector, and draw the braid over the spring elements [of part 6].
Pull the grounding ring [part 5] forwards and snap it onto the support sleeve [part 6] trapping the braid.
Screw together the remaining elements of the endbell. Note that ITT Cannon recommend a torque setting for the housing [part 4].
The air hose is extended using the nozzle (RS stock no.
