Attach Handheld to Sonde
3.3
Field Cable
All EXO cables have 6-pin and wet-mateable connectors. Each cable also incorporates a strain relief mechanism
to alleviate stress on the connector throughout deployment. Read the Cable Maintenance section before first-
time use. Although the cables are wet-mateable, users should dry the connectors prior to installation when
possible. Always protect connectors by leaving the cable or connector caps installed even when the connector
is not in use. Always attach the cable's strain relief mechanism to the bail when the sonde is deployed.
1 Attach cable to sonde.
If needed, lightly grease the black rubber part of the
connector with Krytox grease. Press in the male 6-pin
connector, then screw down the retaining collar. Attach
the cable's strain relief to the sonde's bail with a carabiner.
The cable's strain relief should be positioned to remove any
weight-bearing from the actual connector and retaining
collar.
2 Attach cable to handheld.
Apply a light layer of Krytox grease to the male pins on the
handheld and the female connector on the cable. Press on
the female 6-pin connector, then screw down the retaining
collar. Connect the strain relief to the Handheld's strap.
3 Discover sonde in KOR.
Upon startup of the Handheld, KOR software searches for a
hard-wired connection to the sonde. If KOR discovers the
sonde, it will request to connect to it.
