CABLE CONNECTOR PORT
The cable connector port at the top of the sonde
should be covered at all times. While communicating
with the sonde, the installed cable should be securely
tightened in place. By so doing, it is assured that a
proper connection is being made and moisture and
possible contaminants are prevented from entering.
When a communications cable is not connected to the
cable connector port, the pressure cap supplied with
the instrument should be securely tightened in place.
Two replacement caps are available in the 6040
Maintenance Kit.
If moisture has entered the connector, dry the
connector completely with compressed air, a clean
cloth, or paper towel. Apply a very thin coat of
lubricant from the 6040 Maintenance Kit to the
O-ring inside the connector cap before each
installation.
NOTE: ALWAYS BE CERTAIN THAT THE CONNECTOR CAP IS CORRECTLY
INSTALLED BEFORE SUBMERGING THE SONDE.
SONDE HEX SCREWS
Prior to each deployment of the sonde, inspect the hex screws to assure that all ten screws are in
place and properly tightened. In the event that a screw is lost, replacement screws can be found in
the 6040 Maintenance Kit.
