Ultrasound Transducer Cable Preparation
Refer to Figure 7-2 and Table 7-4 while following these steps:
1. Cut #24 AWG green wire (not supplied) to 1-
1
⁄2 inches long and strip each end
1
⁄8 inch. This will be used as a jumper wire.
2. Cut #24 AWG green wire to 4 inches long and strip each end
3
⁄4 inch.
3. Route the transducer cable through the gripper. Slide the gripper, followed by
the retaining ring, down the cable until they are out of the way.
4. Score around grey jacket of cable 1 inch. Peel and remove jacket.
5. Pull back the outer braided shield and twist into pigtail.
6. Solder the 4-inch prepared green wire to the outer shield, wrapping the
3
⁄4-inch
strip onto shield. Cut wire flush with other conductor(s) of cable. Retain
remaining piece of wire for inner shield.
7. This step varies according to the ultrasound transducer type:
Standard Ultrasound Transducer: This cable is a dual-coaxial cable. Cut off
black coaxial cable and fillers flush to jacket.
Nautilus Ultrasound Transducer: This cable is a single-coaxial cable. Trim
fillers flush to jacket.
8. Score around the white jacket leaving
3
⁄16 inch of the jacket remaining.
9. Pull back the inner shield and twist into a pigtail. The clear dielectric is now
exposed.
10. Solder remaining piece of green wire to inner shield, wrapping the
3
⁄4 inch strip
onto shield. Cut wire flush with other conductors.
11. Install shrink tubing over the solder joint between the white coaxial cable and
the inner shield.
12. Strip the three conductors
1
⁄8 inch (clear and both green). Twist and tin
conductors.
13. Locate the grounding contact pin (longer pin) in the kit. Solder this pin to the
inner shield.
14. Solder a short pin to the clear conductor and the outer shield.
15. Solder a short pin to each end of the green jumper wire (1-
1
⁄2 inches long).
