i purchased a used, known working open array and e120 mfd. After installing on my boat the unit would not fire up, I learned that it required a separate power source and by splitting two positive and negative leads out of the old cable I could avoid buying and installing a new cable. However, the unit now working would only mark at almost full manual gain. After much investigation and some assistance I discovered, quite by accident that the “pin” had been broken. I hadn’t realized that the pin should have been longer- I received the array and pedestal separated. I had disassembled the (prior) old array and noticed the pin in the center of the coax tube, that sticks up from the array mount after removed, was longer. And thankfully I had the old array and learned it takes only a couple minutes to disassemble and a few more to install in the newer array- many, almost all parts are interchangeable so I am told. I hope that this might help someone someday-
