    Cable routing Cable routing requirements for the transducer cable. Important: To avoid interference, the cable must be routed as far away from VHF radio antenna cables as possible. • Check that the cable is long enough to reach the equipment it will be connected to. If you are installing split-pair transducers, you must use a Y-cable (A80478) along with an extension cable to connect the transducers to your multifunction display.

  • Page 18 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. Important: Always use the supplied tool when attaching the split ring. The split ring may become overstretched and break if you try to attach it without using the tool.
  • Page 20 6. Slide the locking collar towards the plug-end of the connector, rotating the collar as necessary to ensure that the lugs on the locking collar (labelled ‘D’ in the illustration) pass through the channels (labelled ‘E’) in the split-ring. The locking collar slides easily towards the plug-end of the connector, before butting up against the split-ring moulding.
