3. Once you know where you want to position your float, place the cable clamp onto the transducer
cable, above the float. Make sure that the cable is taut, so that the transducer hangs straight
down (see the illustration Attaching the Cable Clamp).

4. Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate slot on the rear of the control head. The ports
are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the
port. If the cable connector feels tight, lightly coat the outside of the connector with silicone
grease. See the illustrations Control Head with 3 Ports and Control Head with 4 Ports (includes
Ethernet).
5. Route the transducer cable beneath the control head and secure it to the cable holders on the
base.
6. Attach the cable brake clip between the two cable holders to secure the cable.

| Installing the Base in the Portable Bag
In this procedure, you will install the control head and base into the portable bag.
1. Unzip the front opening on the portable bag.
2. Insert the base into the portable bag, so the control head faces out of the bag.
Pull the bag over one shoulder of the handle at a time. Make sure you can grab the handle
through the fabric handhold inset from the outside top of the portable bag.
