Cable Preparation

Overlap the cables to be jointed by about 150 mm. Slide the outer sleeve over one cable end.
Mark the reference-line (the middle of the overlap). Remove the oversheath (see drawing A) to the dimensions
A A
given in Table 1.
Shape and position the cores as shown in drawing A and cut them at the reference-line.
Completion of Joint
1 1
Slide the insulating sleeves over the long core ends.
Remove the insulation on all cores to dimension I = half length of connector + 5 mm.
2 2
Joint the conductors by crimping. Remove any sharp edges. Clean and degrease the insulation.
See Table 1 for maximum dimensions of connectors before installation.
Centre the insulating sleeves over the connectors. Shrink them into place starting in the centre and working towards
3 3
the ends.
Cables with concentric neutral:
Relay the cores as far as possible. Loosely twist the shielding wires together to make an earth conductor. Joint the
3-1 3-1
earth conductor by crimping, soldering or any other equivalent method.
Note: Take care not to break the shielding wires.
Wrap one layer of copper braid with a 50% overlap round the whole joint area.
Clean and degrease the ends of the oversheath for a length of about 150 mm.
4 4
Position the outer sleeve centrally over the joint and shrink it into place starting in the centre and working towards
the ends.
Joint complete.
Allow the joint to cool before applying any mechanical strain.

General Instruction
Use a propane (preferred) or butane gas torch. Ensure the torch is always used in a well-ventilated environment.
Adjust the torch to obtain a soft blue fl ame with a yellow tip. Pencil-like blue fl ames should be avoided.
Keep the torch aimed in the shrink direction to preheat the material. Keep the fl ame moving continuously to avoid
scorching the material.
Clean and degrease all parts that will come into contact with adhesive. If a solvent is used follow the
manufacturer's handling instructions.
Tubing should be cut smoothly with a sharp knife leaving no jagged edges. Start shrinking the tubing at the
position recommended in the instruction. Ensure that the tubing is shrunk smoothly all around before continuing
along the cable. Tubing should be smooth and wrinkle free with inner components clearly defi ned.
