1. Pass the connector on the transducer through the hole in the mounting base and then screw the cap on the transducer into the mounting base.

5. INSTALLATION

1. Mate the connector at the rear of the transducer to cable assy. FI-50-SENSOR-30/50 (30 m or 50 m, supplied).

1. As shown in the figure below, make a loop in the cable assy. Fix the cable to the mounting base with two cable ties (local supply).

1. Pass the cable assy. through the mast and connect it to the FI-501/FI-502. If the connector of the cable cannot be passed through the mast (because mast diameter is too small), use the terminal box (supplied) to make the connection. For how to use the terminal box, see page 25.

5.2.2 Display unit

The display unit can be installed two ways: surface mount (two ways) or flush mount (optional kit required). This section covers surface mounting. For flush mounting, see the flush mounting instructions, issued separately.
