Sealing the connector
ASL assumes that you already
have your LEMO Connector in hand
before you start assembling the
unit. Make sure when you prepare
your cable that the cable diameter
is around .215 inches or else the
system will not seal correctly.
NOTE: Your BLuFISH HD Hous-
ing was shipped to you with a short
piece of cable showing the order of
assembly. Pay attention to this as-
sembly as you take it apart so you’ll
be familiar with putting it together
with your 18-pin LEMO connector.
1. First, insert the 2 rings, as shown,
onto the LEMO cable. It is impera-
tive that the smaller ring is inserted
before going to step #2.
2. Prepare all the sealing sleeve
parts so they line up as shown here.
Insert the o-rings on the cable in
the same order that you see in the
diagram.
NOTE: O-rings #3 & #4 may be
difficult to install on the cable. Use
the o-ring tool to roll it over the con-
nector. See image beside.
3. Respectively assemble the two
pieces #2 and the two #6 as shown
in the diagram. Hold them together
by installing o-rings #1 & #5. Make
sure that the configuration is exactly
as shown. This way, you guarantee
a perfect seal to your cable. Finally,
push #2 and #6 together.
