Simrad EK60

Transducer(s)

The cables described in this chapter are used to connect the

General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) to one or more transducers.

The following transducer types may be used:

• Single frequency, split beam

→ The plug housing is shown on page 79.

For the majority of the transducers, the cables are supplied from

the manufacturer. These are normally physically fastened to the

transducer.

Note The distance between the General Purpose Transceiver (GPT)

and the transducer(s) must be as short as possible to avoid

interference and noise.

If the distance between the transducer and the transceiver

exceeds the length of the cable, a junction box must be used.

The cable between the junction box and the transceiver must

then be supplied by Simrad, and this must be the same type as

used on the transducer(s).

Note All transducer cables must be run in steel conduits. Use flexible

conduit close to the transceiver.

Note Cable shields must be connected to the plug housing. The

shields must not be connected to ship’s ground anywhere

between the transducer and the plug on the transceiver.

→ The termination of the cable shielding is shown on page 79.

Observe the cabling diagrams.
