<div>Im a bit confused as when i cut the cable (some distance from the connector), there are only 2 cables. The inner cable and the shield. So not sure where this 3rd cable is. I will take the connector appart and investigate....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div dir="ltr">In the connector you screw onto the OTS box, just connect both 1 and 3 to the same cable.

<div>Hi Emile\Alec,</div>
<div><br>Thanks for that info. Not quite sure how i can connect pins 1 and 3, but i will have another look at it later on after work and see how it looks.</div>
<div>Many thanks</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri','sans-serif';COLOR:#1f497d;FONT-SIZE:11pt">OTS have done something clever. The OTS transducer has only two contacts, but the when you use the factory cable for mounting the transducer remotely you will notice the cable connector has three contacts. What they are doing is using two of them (#1 and #3) connected together to act as a switch, so that when you plug in the cable the OTS box turns on. I think if you keep your current arrangement, but also connect contacts 1 and 3, you might find it works.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
