Armored cable is shipped with the appropriate connector pre-installed
on the cable and with the cable prepared for installation in the
transmitter. Armored cable installation is similar to the non-armored
installation except for the following.

•

Cut the cable to desired length (if necessary) using a hacksaw to
cut through the armor and remove about 14” (36 cm) of outer
jacket from the transmitter end of the cable.

•

Cut the armor 1-3/8” (35mm) from the outer jacket using a Roto-
Split

(or equivalent) armor cutter. Twist the armor off of the cable.

Removal of Cable Armor

•

Install the armored cable connector by first removing the white end
stop from the fitting and sliding the connector over the cable.
Referring to the following figure, hand-tighten the entry component
to the connector body and then final tighten 1-1/2 rotations using
1-5/8” wrenches. Hand-tighten and then final tighten the
compression nut to the connector body 1 rotation using 1-5/8”
wrenches. Cut and remove the conductor outer sheath about 3/4"
(19mm) from the end of the entry component. Remove foil outer
wrap and foil from each pair of conductors. As each pair is
unwrapped, twist each pair of conductors to keep them together as
pairs.
