Prepare feeder cable

-
Stretch the tape minimum 50% while wrapping the tape around the cable. Make sure the tape is wrapped where the hose clamp will be positioned.
-
Prepare the cable per standard practice. Leave 2,5 cm / 1 Inch of the shield.
-
Carefully peel the shield open with a pair of pliers until maximum 1/2 of the circumference stays in place.
-
Cut of the excess shield.
-
Bend the remaining part of the shield downwards.
Note: Make sure to not crack the shield. -
Remove the plastic coating on the shield with a cutter knife.
-
Bend the shield further downwards until it touches the cable jacket or the silicone tape.
Install the armored cable on the bracket
- Position the cable on the bracket as shown and install the strength member (rigid strength member or aramid yarn) per practice as explained in the basic installation instruction or TC-1538-IP: Cable retention large.
- Open the hose clamp and tighten the hose clamp with the hex 7 socket wrench.
