CAUTIONARY NOTES
1.
The order in which the connections are made is critical. Always connect Ground 
first, followed by +12V and then the remaining SDI-12/Data Bus, Sensor Enable 
Line and Shield. When disconnecting the sensor, the reverse order should be 
followed. 
 
2. 
Before disassembling the transducer assembly, refer to “Assembly/Disassembly 
Procedures” on page 24 of the manual. 
 
3. 
Damage may occur to the transducer wires if the transducer assembly is not 
carefully orientated when fastening to the SR50 housing. The transducer 
assembly should be positioned in such a way that the wires are sure to remain 
within the inside wall of the housing. This area is within the dark circle shown on 
the diagram below. This will keep the wires from getting pinched between the 
transducer assembly and SR50 housing.
