Connecting the Deck Box
The portable configuration of the UDB-9000 requires only a transducer
connection. However, to charge the batteries, the deck box must be
connected to power. Refer to "Battery Maintenance and Charging" on page
6-2 for some charging recommendations. The rack mount configuration of the
UDB-9000 must be connected to power and to the transducer. In addition, for
both deck box configurations, sending and receiving acoustic commands and
data can be performed by way of a connected PC. The PC is not supplied. A
PC connection is also required to send DS-7000 commands. Headphones
and a transmit sync can also be connected.
For the location and description of the connectors on the portable
configuration of the UDB-9000, refer to Figure 1-2 on page 1-5; for the rack
mount configuration, refer to Figure 1-4 on page 1-8.
WARNING Do not operate the UDB-9000 to range or send commands
without a transducer connected as the deck box could be damaged.
Deploying the Transducer
The transducer is used as a dunking transducer. For the outline dimensions
of the transducer, refer to Figure 3-3. The transducer cable is used both to
connect to the transducer and to lower it into the water. The weight of the
transducer will assist in keeping it vertical when it is in the water. This cable
must be strain relieved at the transducer end. Therefore, a Kellums grip is
installed on the cable for this purpose. To strain relieve the cable, tie a nylon
line from the loop in the Kellums grip to one of the holes in the connector
guard. When securing the line, ensure that there is sufficient slack in the
section of cable between the Kellums grip and the transducer connection to
relieve any strain.
