4. Inspect the label affixed to the side of the transducer. Replace the label if it
becomes loose, has been lost or is unreadable.
Transducer Interface
The electronics for your transducer have no internal parts that can be serviced by
the user. The case is sealed against moisture. Breaking the seal by opening the
case can void any warranty.
As required
Before making any cable connections to the TI box, inspect the area of the
connector for accumulated dirt.
If necessary, clean the connector areas with low pressure air or an electrical
connector cleaner.
Cables
As required
Inspect all electrical cables before and after every test. Always turn off the
electrical power before you disconnect, repair, or replace a cable.
1. Check the condition of the cables for cuts, exposed wires, or other types of
damage, loose connectors, and cracked or worn cable covers. Tighten any
loose connectors. Replace any cracked or worn cables.
2. Ensure that cable connectors are securely plugged into their respective
receptacles.
3. Ensure that all cables have appropriate strain relief devices installed.
4. Protect cables from being stepped on. In the test lab, elevate and cover all
cables to protect them from exposure to spilled hydraulic fluid.
5. Ensure that all cables are supported every 1.2 m (4 ft). Cables should also be
supported near a motion joint.
6. Check that path ways of moving cables are clear of obstructions. Prevent
cables from moving or rubbing against sharp corners.
