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, single beam
• Single frequency, dual beam (wide and narrow)
• Dual frequency, single beam (combi)
→ The plug housing is shown on page 160.
For the majority of the transducers, the cables are supplied from
the manufacturer. These are normally physically fastened to the
transducer.
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 160.
Observe the cabling diagrams.
