JRC 1000 radar cable -help !

[grafozz]

i have pulled the cable too hard removing the plug through the coachroof and pulled several wires out. it looks impossible to re-wire . where can i get another cable or have the plug re- fitted ? my meathooks cant work on that scale !

I think that Selex Communications will be able to supply one.

Brace yourself as the cables will set you back athree figure sum. You could rewire but the problem wil be the very fine wires and getting a good connection.

somewhere I have the details of the part number for the plug. I sources one from RS components in the UK. It is possible to solder the wires on, I did it but it took some time but no los of signal. Will get back to you when I can find the details!

Amazing when a filing system works:

The connectors are made by JAE
Antenna cable connect p/n SRCN6A16-10P 2
Power cable connector p/n SRCN6A16-7P

If you type the part number into Google you should be able to find a local(ish) supplier

I purposefully cut the cable of my JRC1000 and re-made it internally with a block connector. It has worked just fine since. Fiddly but possible. Of course your connections will be outside but with suitable sockets mentioned above Im sure you'll be fine. Perhaps a belt and braces approach with thats stretchy waterproof tape over the connector would help too.

Just a suggestion but we do likewise and have a cut and chocbox under the headboards, which makes it easiet to get it out when we drop the mast. If you did the same it would leave you with a 2m or so tail of cable to the damaged fitting/connector. Then you could take the tail and fitting to an electrician to reattach the wires. Might get away with a £30 bill for an hours work and you'd certainly have a better installation.

The JRC1000 has a kind of a strange cable. A few wire are faily thick( Supply plus /minus), two are screened (video and AFC) plus a few thin control cables. The Electronics (Power supply, Magnetron etc) is located in the scanner. The panel has only the video stuff.
I cut the cable und used a large waterproof connector on the deck. had a problem with one of the control wires, which went open, perhaps I put too much strain on it....
You can use several cables, but for the supply connection you need a heavier stuff or several in parallel. The screened ones are no problem since its all low frequency (video..)

thanks Simon and everbody i did actually cut the cable inside when the mast was dropped recently and intend to put a chocbloc inline . so yes i know a local instrument techie who i,m sure can re- attach the plug /wires . the forum - fixing fings for fumbling fanatics !

I have located a new power plug for my JRC 1000 radar, but do not have the wiring diagram of the 7 pins. Does anyone know where I might find this information?
