Shielded Wire

When extending existing sensor wiring, it is required to maintain continuity of the wire shield.
For the shielded wire(s), the shield on both sides of the open segment must be reconnected after the splice
is complete with a spacing of approximately 3 inches or less in total length.
1. Use solder sleeves with an insulated shield drain to jumper the shield ends together.
2. Protect the open segment of wire with fusion tape.
3. Start the wrap by making a complete turn of the tape around the cable approximately 0.5 inches
from the repair area.
4. Overlap the preceding wrap by 50%.
5. Extend the tape over the repair area by approximately 0.5 inches.
6. Use lacing tape to spot tie the end of the fusion tape.
