Splicing the transducer cable
If you need to extend the transducer cable, you must splice it correctly. This is very
important, as any splice is very vulnerable for noise. Cable can be spliced using two
different methods:
• Splicing using a grounded junction box
• Splicing using a junction box that is isolated from vessel's ground
Refer to the dedicated procedures.
Minimum cable requirements
