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
- Разабраць раз'ём: Unscrew the two end caps and remove the internal terminal block from the main body of the connector.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
