4.4 Transducer connectionIf your MFD includes a built-in sonar module then you can connect a transducer to your MFD.• RV variant MFDs can connect to RealVision™ 3D transducers• DV variant MFDs can connect to DownVision™ transducers• DV variant MFDs can also connect directly to CHIRP conical beam transducers that use theDownVision™ 9 pin connector.• Adaptor cables are also available that enable connection of non-CHIRP transducers to DV andRV variant MFDs.Note:1. Transducer extension cables are available.2. MFDs that do not have a built-in sonar module can be connected to a transducer via anexternal CPxxx series sonar module.RealVision™ 3D transducer extension cableFor best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum. However, for some installations itmay be necessary to extend the transducer cable.• 3 m (9.8 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft), and 8 m (26.2 ft) transducer extension cables are available (part numbers:3 m - A80475, 5 m - A80476, 8 m - A80477).• It is recommended that a maximum of two cable extensions are used, with the total cable lengthnot exceeding 18 m.DownVision™ transducer extension cableFor best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum. However, for some installations itmay be necessary to extend the transducer cable.• A 4 m (13.1 ft.) Transducer extension cable (A80273) is available.• It is recommended that only one cable extension is used.Axiom transducer adaptor cablesThe following adaptor cable are available to enable connection of a wider selection of transducers.Axiom DV adaptor cablesA80484 Axiom DV to 7-pin Embedded Transducer AdapterA80485 Axiom DV to 7-pin CP370 Transducer AdapterA80486 Axiom DV to 9-pin DV & 7-Pin Embedded Transducers Y-CableA80487 Axiom DV to 9-pin DV & 7-Pin CP370 Transducers Y-CableConnections 47
