Attach Sonde to Handheld
Field Cable
All EXO cables have 6-pin and wet-mateable connectors. Each cable also incorporates a strain relief
mechanism to alleviate stress on the connector. Read the Cable Maintenance section before rst-time use.
Because Bluetooth wireless will not pass through water, users must use the cable to connect to the sonde
when it is submerged and taking real-time eld readings that are being viewed by the user or logged by a
data collection platform.
1 Attach cable to sonde.
Apply a light layer of Krytox grease to the male pins on
the cable and the female connector on the sonde. Press in
the male 6-pin connector, then screw down the retaining
collar. Attach the cable’s strain relief to the sonde’s bail with
a carabiner. e cable’s strain relief should be positioned to
remove any weight-bearing from the actual connector and
retaining collar.
2 Attach cable to handheld.
Apply a light layer of Krytox grease to the male pins on the
handheld and the female connector on the cable. Press on
the female 6-pin connector, then screw down the retaining
collar. Connect the strain relief to the Handheld’s strap.
3 Discover sonde in KOR.
Upon startup of the Handheld, KOR soware searches for a
hard-wired connection to the sonde. If KOR discovers the
sonde it will request to connect to it.
