Thisproceduredescribeshowtoattachthelockingcollartotheconnector.Thelockingcollarparts

aresuppliedinaseparatebag,intheboxwithyourtransducer.

Important:Ensurethatyouroutethecableallthewaytoyourmultifunctiondisplaybefore

attachingthelockingcollar.

1.Slidethelockingcollarovertheendoftheconnector,thenpushittowardsthecable-endof

theconnector.

Important:Ensurethatthelugsonthelockingcollar(labelled‘A’intheillustration),areclosestto

theplug-endoftheconnector.

2.Slidethesplit-ringovertheendoftheconnector,thenpushittowardsthecable-endofthe

connector.

Important:Ensurethatthetabsonthesplit-ring(labelled‘B’intheillustration),areclosesttothe

cable-endoftheconnector.

The split - ring slides easily for approximately 1 cm onto the connector, before butting up against

the connector moulding.

3.Carefullyinsertthepointedendofthesuppliedtoolintothesplit-ring’sgap(labelled‘C’inthe

illustration).

The tool widens the gap in the split ring, enabling the split ring to be pushed further back onto

the connector in the following step.

Important:Alwaysusethesuppliedtoolwhenattachingthesplitring.Thesplitringmaybecome

overstretchedandbreakifyoutrytoattachitwithoutusingthetool.

4.Usethetooltogentlyleverthesplitringoverthemouldingontheconnectoruntilitsnapsinto

positionapproximately0.5cmfurtherbacktowardsthecable-endoftheconnector.

Y ou can now remove the tool. The split - ring stays in position on the connector, but rotates freely.

5.SlidetheO-ringovertheendoftheconnector,andensurethatitisseatedsquarelyagainstthe

connectormoulding,adjacenttothesplit-ring.

6.Slidethelockingcollartowardstheplug-endoftheconnector,rotatingthecollarasnecessary

toensurethatthelugsonthelockingcollar(labelled‘D’intheillustration)passthroughthe

channels(labelled‘E’)inthesplit-ring.

The locking collar slides easily towards the plug - end of the connector, before butting up against

the split - ring moulding.

7.Graspthebodyoftheconnectorwithonehand,thenwiththeotherhand,pullthelockingcollar

ﬁrmlytowardstheplug-endoftheconnector.

As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split - ring. The locking collar stays in

position on the connector, but rotates freely.

For best performance, you should ensure that the bottom half of the transducer assembly is

positioned so that it is lower than the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of the transducer. In

the following illustrations, the dashed line indicates the lowest point of the hull in the vicinity of

the transducer.
