Quick Reference Guide
Installing the cNODE Modem Embed cables
Procedure
1 Connect the transducer cable.
If you have a cable kit, the wires are already connected to the connectors.
2 Prepare 8 wires with the appropriate length for the modem interface.
3 Install a crimp terminal in one end of each cable.
4 Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 8–pin receptacle according to the cable drawing.
5 Connect J3 to P3 on the top of the PCB.
6 Prepare 2 red and 2 black wires with the appropriate length for the power.
7 Install a crimp terminal in one end of each cable.
8 Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 4–pin receptacle according to the cable drawing.
9 Connect J4 to P4 in the front on the PCB.
10 Prepare 3 wires with the appropriate length for the service interface.
11 Install a crimp terminal in one end of each cable.
12 Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 8–pin receptacle according to the cable drawing.
13 Connect J5 to P5 in the front on the PCB.
Installing the transducer cables TD80V
Prerequisites
Procedure
1 Use a yellow wire (0.5 mm 2 ) and connect the white wire from the transducer with both capacitors and the yellow wire from the transformer.
2 Use a red wire (0.5 mm 2 ) and connect the black wire from the transducer with both capacitors and the red wire from the transformer.

3 Use a black wire (0.5 mm 2 ) and connect two wires in parallel to the black wire from the transformer.
4 Use a green wire (0.24 mm 2 ) and connect two wires to the green wire from the transducer.
5 Use an orange wire (0.24 mm 2 ) and connect to the orange wire from the transducer.
6 Add crimp terminals to the end of the wires.
7 Install the crimp terminals in a Molex 8-pin receptacle.
a Connect the green wires to pin 1 and 5 on the receptacle.
b Connect the black wires to pin 3 and 7 on the receptacle.
c Connect the blue wires to pin 4 and 8 on the receptacle.
d Connect the orange wire to pin 6 on the receptacle.
This is now receptacle J1.
8 Connect receptacle J1 to connector P1 on the front of the PCB.
