Safety instructions
These assembly instructions and the assembly steps and instructions described are an integral part of and prerequisite for certification by TÜV Rheinland and UL.
Installation, electrotechnical expertise
The products may be assembled and installed by electrically skilled or instructed persons duly observing all applicable safety regulations.
Caution, risk of electric shock
Work in a de-energized state
Follow the five safety rules, when working on electrical installations.
After the respective electrical installations have been identified, the
following five essential requirements shall be undertaken in the specified
order unless there are essential reasons for doing otherwise:
- disconnect completely;
- secure against re-connection;
- verify absence of operating voltage;
- carry out grounding and short-circuiting;
- provide protection against adjacent live parts
Any person engaged in this work activity shall be electrically skilled or instructed, or shall be supervised by such a person Source: EN 50110-1:2013
Protection against electric shock shall be checked in the end-use applications too.
Caution
Each time the connector is used, it should previously be inspected for
external defects. If there are any doubts as to its safety, a specialist must
be consulted.
Use only in accordance with the specification provided in the technical data
(see product catalog).
The wearing of suitable protective equipment or the performance of the
relevant work is the responsibility of the user.
Components and packaging materials are not toys; small parts can pose a
choking hazard if swallowed. Packaging material can pose a risk of
suffocation.
Proper disposal of products and packaging materials after use.
Do not disconnect under load
Disconnect Under Load: PV plug connections must not be disconnected while
under load.
During no-load operation plugging and unplugging when live is permitted (by switching off the DC/AC converter or breaking the AC circuit).

Exchanging the crimping die
Removing the crimping die
(ill. 16)
Close the crimping pliers.
(ill. 17)
Remove completely both mounting screws: the long S and the short S1. Open the
crimping pliers (press com-pletely together and release)
(ill. 18)
Remove the upper crimping die
(ill. 19)
Remove the lower crimping die.
Fitting the crimping die
(ill. 20)
- Open the crimping pliers (press com-pletely together and release).
- Insert both crimping dies.
- The markings must be on the same side as the marking on the crimping pliers.
- Close crimping pliers and screw both crimping dies.
- But take care not to strip screw heads and to put each screw in its proper location.
(ill. 21)
Affix locator onto the guide pin.
(ill. 22)
Rotate the locator (held magnetically)
(ill. 23)
Lock the locator.
Crimping
(ill. 24)
- Open and hold clamp (K).
- Place the contact in the appropriate cross-section range.
- Turn the crimping flaps (C) upwards.
- Release clamp (K).
- The contact is fixed.
(ill. 25)
Verify if the crimping flaps are still correctly aligned.
Press the pliers gently together until the crimping flaps are properly located
with-in the crimping die.
(ill. 26)
Insert the stripped cable end until the cable strands come up against the
clamp.
Completely close the crimping pliers.
(ill. 27)
Visually check the crimp according to the criteria written in IEC 60352-2:2006
- A1:2013
Confirm that:
- All of the strands have been captured in the crimp sleeve
- The crimp sleeve is not deformed or missing any portion of the crimp flaps
- That the crimp is symmetrical in form
- A “brush” of conductor strands are visible on the contact side of crimp.
Verify crimp height. Typical values for the crimp height for Stäubli PV cable Flex-Sol-Evo TX and Flex-Sol-Evo DX are listed below:.
