Carefully insert the pointed end of the supplied tool into the split-ring’s gap (labelled ‘C’ in the illustration). The tool widens the gap in the split ring, enabling the split ring to be pushed further back onto the connector in the following step.
- Page 33 You can now remove the tool. The split-ring stays in position on the connector, but rotates freely. 5. Slide the O-ring (arrowed) over the end of the connector, and ensure that it is seated squarely against the connector moulding, adjacent to the split-ring. 6.

The locking collar slides easily towards the plug-end of the connector, before butting up against the split-ring moulding. 7. Grasp the body of the connector with one hand, then with the other hand, pull the locking collar firmly towards the plug-end of the connector. As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split-ring. - Page 35 i. Connect the cable from each transducer to the Y-cable tails (A80478); check the colored labels on the cables to ensure that the transducers are connected to the correct Y-cable tail. ii.
