[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS Issue

[Emile van Essen]

James,

 

It usually gives no problem to cut a transducer cable and solder it again.
Don't forget the shield.

Obvious, the transducer must be in water and may not be in the shade of the
sub.

 

Got mine on top of the sail. Best place but works not on surface..

 

BTW; I am dealer of  Ocean Reef  UW Communication ;  This brand share the
same technology as OTS so you can talk between the 2 brands..)

 

 

Best regards, Emile

.

Hi All,

 

Anyone got any thoughts on this.

 

My OTS surface station mounted inside the sub didnt work.  It didnt even
switch on.  I checked the Vout at the batteries (16x AAA inside the unit)
and it was good at 12V.

 

I suspect the problem is that i cut the transducer cable to pass it through
a sub conn bulkhead connector.  When you plus the transducer into the unit,
that is supposed to turn it on at the same time, but nothing.  Suspect no
signal from the transducer so unit not switching on.

 

You can see the rubbish effort i made of it here.  Im almost sure this is
the fault.

Anyone got any ideas?  I need to get this fixed before the nest dive.

 

Thanks

James
