Electrical Information
Grounds
The PDR-D unit has a three ground system which allows for the separation of the power supply
return (P Gnd) and the DC Output Signal return (S Gnd) and the Chassis ground. This is done
primarily for use with the 221 and 221A-B transducers to keep these grounds separate in the
power cable. When used with transducers that have only a two ground system (such as the 220,
222, and 223) connect the P Gnd and S Gnd to that transducer’s common ground and then
connect the two chassis grounds together.
