19. Loosening Termination
This operation is vital to the simple
installation of the product.
There are two terminations in this
kit, (one with three sheds, the other
with five). Loosen both in the manner
shown on page 33. Install the five
shed termination first.
Hold the termination in one hand and
the holdout in the other. Gripping
firmly, twist the termination and
holdout in opposite directions. Repeat
twisting the termination and holdout,
moving the hand in short increments
up the termination until the entire
termination is felt to move on the
holdout. Slide the termination until it
lines up with the end of the holdout
tube as shown. Note: Take care not
to slide the termination off the end
of the holdout. Stop the termination
about 6 mm (
1 ⁄
4
in) from the end of
the holdout.
16. Rewrap the outer double layer of
copper tape into place over the copper
strands. Push the compression ring back up
over the wrapped copper strands and up
against the cone, (see figure 23).
17. Fit the main coupling piece from the
coupling set carefully over the end of the
cable ensuring the cable is pushed up as
far as it will go into the coupling. Ensure
the copper strands are kept in place and
order. Screw the compression nut into
the coupling piece and tighten, using the
correct size spanners / wrenches.
18. At a distance of 100 mm (4 in.) from
the end of the cable, wrap one half-lapped
layer of semi-conductive tape around
the triple layer insulation with an overlap
towards the copper tape / copper strand
center conductor up to, but not over, the
compression coupling.
