Kongsberg Simrad EK80 Installation Manual page 89

• Place the transducer cables in a metal conduit all the way from the transducer to
the transceiver. Terminate the conduit as close to the transducer and transceiver as
possible.
• Make sure that the transducer cables are completely separated from other cables,
boxes, other potential noise sources.
• Make sure that all units are properly grounded.
• Use shielded cables with correct grounding.
• Separate the EK80 cables from other cables with high voltages, large currents or
transients. Place all high voltage power cables in metal conduits.
• If you more than one Wide Band Transceiver (WBT), install these in such a way that
the transducer cables have the maximum distance to the power and Ethernet cables.
• Ensure maximum physical distance between the Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) and
the Power Supply Unit.
• Ensure maximum physical distance between each Power Supply Unit.
• If possible, install the transceivers in a sonar room that is electrically shielded.
