Настройка і ўстаноўка

Агульныя рэкамендацыі

  • Ensure all power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker before starting installation.
  • Verify that the cables and wires you intend to connect are compatible with the connector's specifications.
  • Plan the cable routing to avoid unnecessary stress on the connector.

Этапы падлучэння

  1. Разабраць раз'ём: Unscrew the two end caps and remove the internal terminal block from the main body of the connector.
  2. Падрыхтуйце кабелі: For each cable, strip approximately 20-25 mm of the outer insulation. Then, strip about 7-9 mm of insulation from each individual wire (live, neutral, earth).
  3. Устаўка правадоў: Loosen the screws on the terminal block. Insert the stripped ends of the wires into the corresponding terminals (Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure no stray wire strands are exposed.
  4. Tighten Terminals: Securely tighten the screws on the terminal block to firmly hold the wires. Gently tug on each wire to confirm it is properly secured.
  5. Assemble Connector: Carefully guide the prepared cables through the end caps and into the main body of the connector, ensuring the terminal block is correctly seated.
  6. Tighten Glands: Hand-tighten the end caps firmly onto the main body. Then, use an appropriate wrench to tighten the cable glands on both ends to ensure a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
  7. Канчатковая праверка: Visually inspect the assembled connector to ensure all parts are correctly aligned and tightened.
