NOTE

Refer to Splice Module installation

instructions for the length required inside the

cabinet. Ensure sufficient sheathed cable

exists at the top of the sealing grommet to

install shield connectors.

i. Using a wrench to hold the sealing grommet

steady, use a second wrench to tighten the

compression nut until the compression skirt

creates a weathertight seal around the cable.

II. SHIELDING

On non-stubbed cabinet installations the shield and

braid must be connected to the ground buss as

described in this procedure. Refer to Figure 12 for

views of the connector components, cable, and

assembly sequence. Entry cables have an outer

insulator, a shield sheath, and a core wrap protecting

the inner wire bundle, see View A. The shield sheath

must connect to ground with the supplied connectors

and ground braid.

The connectors and ground braid are temporarily

attached at the factory for cabinet shipment, remove

the connectors from the braid for this procedure.

CAUTION

Ensure wire insulation is not damaged during

shield connection.

a. From where the wire bundle exits the cable,

remove about 3/4 inch of insulation and shield

but leaving the protective core wrap intact. See

view B for steps a and b.

b. On the side opposite from where the shield

connector will be placed, make a one inch slice

through the insulator and the shield but not the

core wrap. This eases the insertion of the

connector.

c. Opposite the slice, insert the connector bottom

into the cable between the shield and the core

wrap until it reaches the small stop tabs. See

view C for steps c and d.

d. Tap the cable in the area of the leading edge of

the connector to set the contact teeth into the

shield

e. Slide the connector top over the stud so it

sandwiches the shield and insulator. Install the

1 0

first nut and tighten until the connector securely

grips the shield and insulator. See view D.

f. Install the ground braid over the stud followed

by the second nut and tighten securely. See view

E. Repeat this process for the remaining cable.

g. Ensure the trailing end of the ground braid is

securely connected to the ground buss.
