Attaching The Connector Locking Collar - Raymarine RVM-100 Installation Instructions Manual

9.1 Attaching the connector locking collar

The supplied cable is provided with a separate locking collar assembly,
ensuring that the cable connection is secure.
This procedure describes how to attach the locking collar to the cable
connector. The locking collar parts are supplied in a separate bag, in the
package with your product.
Important:
Ensure that you route the cable all the way to its destination before
attaching the locking collar.
1. Slide the locking collar over the end of the connector, then push it
towards the cable-end of the connector. Ensure that the lugs on the
36
locking collar (labelled 'A' in the illustration), are closest to the plug-end of
the connector.
2. Slide the split-ring over the end of the connector, then push it towards the
cable-end of the connector. Ensure that the tabs on the split-ring (labelled
'B' in the illustration), are closest to the cable-end of the connector.
The split-ring slides easily for approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) onto the
connector, before butting up against the connector moulding.
3. Carefully insert the pointed end of the supplied tool into the split-ring's
gap (labelled 'C' in the illustration). Use the tool to gently lever the split
ring over the moulding on the connector until it snaps into position
approximately 0.5 cm further back towards the cable-end of the
connector.
Always use the supplied tool when attaching the split ring. The split ring
may become overstretched and break if you try to attach it without using
the tool. A spare split ring is supplied with the locking collar assembly,
in case of breakage.
4. Slide the O-ring (arrowed) over the end of the connector, and ensure
that it is seated squarely against the connector moulding, adjacent to
the split-ring.
5. Slide the locking collar towards the plug-end of the connector, rotating
the collar as necessary to ensure that the lugs on the locking collar
(labelled 'D' in the illustration) pass through the channels (labelled 'E')
in the split-ring.
The locking collar slides easily towards the plug-end of the connector,
before butting up against the split-ring moulding.
6. Grasp the body of the connector with one hand, then with the other hand,
pull the locking collar firmly towards the plug-end of the connector.
As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split-ring. The
locking collar stays in position on the connector, but rotates freely.
