Page 8: Installation
COMPASS English Installation You can install the NX2 Compass in three different ways: • The compass transducer connected directly to the NX2 Compass instrument • By using the connection kit when both log and compass transducers are installed with a single cable to the NX2 Compass instrument. -
Page 9: Installing The Instrument
Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to the instrument. • If you want to cut the Nexus Network cable to length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut the cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated wires (the 4th wire is an earth / screen). - Page 10 COMPASS English • Apply silicon paste to the instrument connection pins at the back of the instrument. Press the jack plug onto the instrument pins. Press the cable in to the cable leads. • Mount the connection back cover with the screw. Your instrument installation is done!
