Diagram I – Rear Panel

3.1 SENSOR CONNECTOR: Accepts the male LEMO plug from

the AX80 transducer.

3.2 TRANSDUCER (SENSOR) CABLE: The AX80 transducer is

provided with a rugged 10 ft. cable. This cable is mounted to
the transducer by means of a screw-on type connector. This
allows for replacement of the cable in case of damage to a
connector or the cable itself. Under typical day-to-day use, the
cable should remain attached to the transducer. The connector
assembly has been mounted to the transducer and packed with
a special purpose silicone grease to waterproof the sensor and
to prevent corrosion of the terminals.
Note:

WHENEVER THE CONNECTOR/CABLE ASSEMBLY IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSDUCER, REPACK THE
CONNECTOR WITH A DAB OF G.E. #661 SILICONE GREASE. DO NOT
USE ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE.

3.3 BACKLIGHT SWITCH: Controls the backlight mode of the unit.
To enable the meter backlight, press the switch into the “ON”
position. To turn the backlight off, select the “OFF” position.

3.4 HEADPHONE/CABLE JACK: Used to provide the audio output
to the operator. For survey, insert the headphone plug into the
jack to monitor the output.
