For Assembly

Tools
  • Wire striper

  • Flat screwdriver and #1 cross screwdriver

  • Monkey wrench wider than 3cm and 30# solid wrench

Strip cables

Only multiple strands of copper wire can be used. Please cut and strip the wire according to the requirements, and the ground wire needs to be 5mm longer than live and naught wire, and the applicable stripping length is 7 ~ 8mm.

Instruction of cable connector assembly

Screwing off the tail parts (End Locker, Wire Sealing Claw and Wire Sealing ) from male or female cable connector and then pulling the wire which was cut and stripped through them in turn.

Crimp the wire
Inserting the stripped wires correctly into the corresponding pin holes according to the identification and then tightening all screws firmly, Screw twisting torque 0.4±0.1N·m. after it , giving a reverse pull force lightly ( about 10N by manual to test crimping result. Please pay attention to avoiding damage of pins and pin-holder. After crimping, The tensile strength shall meet the requirements listed in the following table:

Conductor cross-section area (mm2) Required tensile strength (N)
2.5 >50
4.0 >60

Install male & female cable body to plastic housing
Push the male or female cable body into housing body correctly according to the position of the clamping groove , and will hear a crisp “click” sound in place.


Push the sealing body and sealing craw into the housing body, and then tighten the end locker, torque 4.0±0.5N·m.

Instructions of Operation

Please switch off the system power and ensure the male and female connector are of the same type before using;
When mating connectors, align mate-locker on the male connector with grooves on the female connector, and insert gradually .Connected in place, there will be a sound of “click”;

If the connectors are separated, choose a corresponding flat screwdriver to push mate-locker step slightly out of position, and then give a force along the axial direction until separation.

If the connector to be disassembly for rewire, please according to the following steps:
Loosen tail parts (End Locker, Wire Sealing Claw and Wire Sealing body);
Use a suitable flat screwdriver to press the elastic tongue on the male or female cable body inward and push forward slightly, and when the tongue comes off a little, use the same method to the tongue on other side. Give a force along the axial direction until separation.

Maintenance

The user should do maintenance work according to the different operating environments and frequencies. If discovering any damage of connector systems, please stop using and change it immediately. Please do not separate and mate the connector system frequently if not for repairing or maintenance reason which may reduce the waterproof performance of the system.
