6-2-12 Section 6: Installation
ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook
Important point: Do NOT shorten the cable from the Depth transducer
as this will seriously degrade transducer performance. If the Depth
transducer cable is too long, coil the spare cable in an appropriate, safe
position.
Wind transducer
The Wind transducer is fitted with a 164 ft (50 m) cable, terminated with
spadeconnectors forconnection totheWindtransducer Pod.The manner
in which the cable is fitted will depend on the locations of the transducer
and Pod. The following guidelines are provided:
• If the transducer is mounted on a masthead or other structure likely to
be removed for maintenance or storage purposes, always incorporate
a disconnection point as near as possible to the cable entry point into
the vessel. This can be achieved either by positioning the Wind Pod at
an appropriate point, or if this is not possible, by connecting the junc-
tion box supplied, between the Wind transducer and Pod, near the
cable entry point.
• It may be necessary to remove the spade connectors to facilitate
installation, e.g. if you want incorporate the junction box in the cable
run or if the cable has to be routed through narrow apertures.
Assembling Wind Vane
Referring to Figure 2-11 , assemble the wind vane, transducer body and
anemometer as follows:
1. Insert the upper spindle of the transducer body into the vane and
secure with the grub screw.
2. Insert the lower spindle of the transducer body into the anemometer
and secure with the grub screw.
