2-3.2. Preparing the Cable
The cable purchased with your ADV6600 has an Impulse
TM MCIL-8-MP connector on the
ADV6600 end and a military-style 8 pin connector (MS-8) on the interface end. Before
communicating with the ADV6600 through this cable, the YSI 6095B MS-8 to DB-9 adapter
(supplied with each sonde) must be connected to the MS-8 end of the cable. Place the MS-8 ends
of the cable and adapter together, and rotate until the alignment pins engage and the male and
female portions of the connector slide together. Once the bodies of the connectors are fully
engaged, twist the knurled ring on the cable until the two pieces lock together.
2-3.3. Using the AC Power Supply
Although the ADV6600 has internal batteries, using the optional Model 6651 power supply for
laboratory studies and for sonde calibration and setup is often convenient and extends battery life.
The 6651 will automatically convert line voltages of 90 to 264 to 12 VDC and allows for the use of
line input cords from most countries world-wide. The 6651 is supplied with an American/Canadian
cord.
To use the 6651, attach the four-pin connector from the power supply to the mating connector on the
6095B adapter by twisting them together and then simply plug the power cord into the appropriate
AC outlet. Once the power and communications cable has been powered, be sure that the exposed
8-pin connector does not come in contact with water, metal, or other shorting material as this can
cause permanent and irreversible damage to the connector.
