2. At a distance of 100mm (4 in.) from
the end of the cable, carefully cut a shallow
notch into the black outer insulation, no
deeper than 1mm, (
3 /
64
in.). Using the
insulation cutting tool, cut around the
circumference of the black outer insulation
until the copper screen underneath is
exposed.
Important! The insulation cutting
tool uses friction to cut into the
sheath and is less likely to
damage the layers underneath than using
a knife.
3. Use a knife to carefully cut along
the 100mm (4 in.) length of black outer
insulation to a depth of no more than 1mm.
(
3 /
64
in.). Be careful not to cut too deeply so
that the copper layer underneath is not
exposed or damaged. Starting from the end
of the cable, carefully remove the outer
insulation and discard.
4. Carefully clean up the insulation friction
cut, removing any burrs for a neat finish.
5. Fit the roll spring 15mm ( 5 /
8
in.) from
the end of the outer insulation over the
exposed copper tape (roll spring supplied
with upper termination kit).
6. Remove the copper tape up to the roll
spring (exposing black triple extrusion layers)
by unrolling, then tearing the tape up and
back over the edge of the roll spring at about
a 45º angle. If necessary, cut about 6mm (
1 /
4
in.) of the copper tape up against the roll
spring with a knife and then tear over the
spring.
7. Wrap one end of the 2.5mm 2 x 105mm
(12AWG x 4 1 /
8
in.) bare copper wire (supplied
with the kit) around the hose clamp, then fix
the hose clamp over the exposed copper
screen of the downconductor and tighten
with a screwdriver.
8. At 85mm (3 3 /
8
in.) from the end of the
cable, carefully cut around the circumference
of the black triple extrusion layers with a
knife, then, from the first cut, along the
length of the insulation to the end of the
cable. Remove the layers and discard.
