Attachingtheconnectorlockingcollar
Thetransducercable’sconnectorissuppliedwithaseparatelockingcollarassembly,usedtosecure
thecablefirmlytoyourmultifunctiondisplay.
Thisproceduredescribeshowtoattachthelockingcollartotheconnector.Thelockingcollarparts
aresuppliedinaseparatebag,intheboxwithyourtransducer.
Important:Ensurethatyouroutethecableallthewaytoyourmultifunctiondisplaybefore
attachingthelockingcollar.
1.Slidethelockingcollarovertheendoftheconnector,thenpushittowardsthecable-endof
theconnector.
Important:Ensurethatthelugsonthelockingcollar(labelled‘A’intheillustration),areclosestto
theplug-endoftheconnector.
2.Slidethesplit-ringovertheendoftheconnector,thenpushittowardsthecable-endofthe
connector.
Important:Ensurethatthetabsonthesplit-ring(labelled‘B’intheillustration),areclosesttothe
cable-endoftheconnector.
14

The split - ring slides easily for approximately 1 cm onto the connector, before butting up against
the connector moulding.
3.arefullyinsertthepointedendofthesuppliedtoolintothesplit-ring’sgap(labelled‘’inthe
illustration).
15

The tool widens the gap in the split ring, enabling the split ring to be pushed further back onto
the connector in the following step.
Important:Alwaysusethesuppliedtoolwhenattachingthesplitring.Thesplitringmaybecome
overstretchedandbreakifyoutrytoattachitwithoutusingthetool.
4.Usethetooltogentlyleverthesplitringoverthemouldingontheconnectoruntilitsnapsinto

Y ou can now remove the tool. The split - ring stays in position on the connector, but rotates freely.
5.SlidetheO-ringovertheendoftheconnector,andensurethatitisseatedsquarelyagainstthe
connectormoulding,adjacenttothesplit-ring.

6.Slidethelockingcollartowardstheplug-endoftheconnector,rotatingthecollarasnecessary
toensurethatthelugsonthelockingcollar(labelled‘D’intheillustration)passthroughthe
channels(labelled‘E’)inthesplit-ring.
17

The locking collar slides easily towards the plug - end of the connector, before butting up against
the split - ring moulding.
7.Graspthebodyoftheconnectorwithonehand,thenwiththeotherhand,pullthelockingcollar
firmlytowardstheplug-endoftheconnector.
18

As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split - ring. The locking collar stays in
position on the connector, but rotates freely.

For best performance, you should ensure that the bottom half of the transducer assembly is
positioned so that it is lower than the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of the transducer. In
the following illustrations, the dashed line indicates the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of
the transducer.
