InstallationFigure 8, Sonar Head Acoustic Center2.4.5 Installing the Processor to Sonar Head CableThere are two general installation scenarios, shipboard and ROV/UUV. The followingis a brief discussion of each installation.2.4.5.1 Shipboard InstallationThe standard shipboard cable is 25 meters in length. Prior to securing the cablein place, verify that there is sufficient slack at the wet-end to allow an easy on/offconnection process. There should be no tight bends or strain on the connectorsection when fully mated (see paragraph 2.4.5.2). If applicable, do not put thelast cable clamp in place until the connector is attached and secure. Place smallplastic bags, or other protective wrapping, over the exposed cable ends duringthe process of putting the cable in place.CAUTIONVerify that mains power is OFF prior to making, or breaking, any system cableconnection.The cable connection at the sonar head is a 9-pin waterproof pressure immuneconnector. Before connecting, ensure that both male and female connector sectionsare clean and dry. Use alcohol or fresh water and a lint-free cotton swab toremove any dust or residue. A very light film of 3M Silicone Spray (or equivalent)on the mating surfaces will allow a smooth connection. When the connector set isfully mated, RESON recommends the use of tie-wraps to lock the two halves togetherof prevent inadvertent separation.The dry-end of the cable should have enough slack to allow the sonar processorto be withdrawn from its rack-mounted position. This end of the cable has a prewiredMS-type connector and a back shell that provides the required strain relief.Prior to connecting, ensure that both the male and female halves of the connectorset are clean and dry. Use a small brush to remove any accumulated dustand debris.______________________________________________________________________SeaBat 8101 Operator's Manual 2-5 Version 3.02
