Multiple Sondes Deployed using a Standard Junction Box
If more than one sonde is required in the 6200 DCP installation, you may use a standard junction
box located near the 6200 DCP and splice permanently-installed cables within this box. There
are disadvantages to this configuration in that you can not use sondes with integral cables since
the MS-8 connectors would be discarded to make the connection in the junction box. Sondes
with bulkhead connectors are more expensive, but the convenience of the installation as shown in
Figure 5.6 may outweigh the additional expense.
