Page 13: Installation
MULTI CONTROL Installation • The installation inc 6 major steps: 1. Read the installation an operation manual. 2. Plan where to install the transducers and instruments. 3. Run the cables. 4. Install the transducers and instruments. 5. Take a break and admire your install ation. -
Page 14: Installing The Instrument
Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to the instrument. • If you want to cut the Nexus Network cable to length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut the cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated wires (the 4th wire is an earth / screen). -
Page 15: Installing Instru Ment To The Server
Mount the connection back cover w ith the screw. 2.1.1 Installin g instrument to the Server All NX2 instruments are connected directly to the Nexus Network in a daisy chain. They all use the same colour coded 4-pole jack plugs. -
