Running transducer cable
If the Wind transducer is fitted on a masthead, remove the spade
connectors from the free end of the cable, then feed the free end of the
cable down inside the mast.
• If the mast is a through-deck mast, feed the cable out through a suit-
able below-decks aperture.
• If the mast is deck stepped, feed the cable through the deck, using a
proprietary deck gland.
If the Wind Pod is situated near to the cable entry point, crimp new spade
connectors onto the wires, as described under Cable preparation on page
6-2-5, then connect the cable to the Wind Pod, as described under Fitting
transducer Pods. If the Wind Pod is not situated near to the cable entry
point, fit the junction box (see Figure 2-13 ) inside the vessel, close to the
cable entry point, then:
1. Run the cable to the junction box, then allowing sufficient cable to
connectinside thejunction box, cut thecableand connect each wire at
the free end of the cable from the transducer, to a separate connector
inside the junction box.
2. Connect each wire at one end of the remaining cable to the same-col-
ored wire inside the junction box.
3. Run the cable from the junction box to the intended location for the
Wind Pod.
4. Crimp new spade connectors onto the wires at the Wind Pod end of
the cable, as described above, and connect the cable to the Wind Pod,
as described under Fitting transducer Pods.
