FECG Cable Preparation
Refer to Figure 7-3 and Table 7-5 while following these steps:
1. Cut #26 AWG green wire (not supplied) to 2 inches long. Strip one end
3
⁄4 inch.
2. Cut #26 AWG blue wire (not supplied) to 1-
1
⁄2 inches long and strip each end
1
⁄8
inch. This will be used as a jumper wire.
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 cable jacket 1 inch. Peel and remove jacket. Trim filler flush to
jacket.
5. Pull back the braided shield and twist into pigtail.
6. Strip black conductive coating back to the outer jacket.
7. Solder the 2-inch prepared green wire to the shield, wrapping the
3
⁄4-inch strip onto the shield. Cut the wire flush with other conductors of cable.
8. Install shrink tubing over the solder joint of the shield.
9. Strip all conductors
1
⁄8 inch. Twist and tin conductors.
CAUTIONS
CABLE IDENTIFICATION—Identify each cable as it is stripped
since colors will be difficult to determine once the sleeving
contracts.
HEAT—Avoid excess heat when tinning ends and soldering
braids since the polyethylene inner insulation melts very easily.
10. Slide shrink tubing over cable.
11. Locate the grounding contact pin (longer pin) in the kit. Solder this pin to one
end of the blue jumper wire.
12. Solder a short pin to the blue wire and the free end of the blue jumper wire.
Both wires share this pin.
13. Solder a short pin to each of the other conductors,
