Transducer

Route the transducer cable well away from power cables, televisions and CRTs to prevent interference to the network sounder. Attach the NCS connector to the transducer cable as below and connect it to the appropriate TRANSDUCER connector on the front of the network sounder.

How to attach connector to transducer cable

Note: For dual-frequency transducer, use the optional cable assy. NCS255AD-254P-L500.

Ground

To prevent interference to the picture and radio equipment, connect a ground wire (KIV 2.0 sq, black) between the ground terminal and ship’s grounding bus. The length of the wire should be as short as possible.

To obtain a good ground on an FRP vessel, a 20 ⋅ 30 cm copper plate can be welded on the outside of the ship’s hull. Connect the ground wire to the copper plate.

Note: Use a "closed-type" lug ( ) to make the connection at the network sounder. Do

not use an "open-type" lug ().

CAUTION

Ground the equipment to prevent mutual interference.
