8.2 Using branch connectors
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to
ensure that the cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:
➤ Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector
(u A, page 11).
➤ Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear
groove (u B, page 11).
➤ Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the
metal pin in. This creates an electrical connection (u C, page 11).
➤ Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
➤ Check that the connection is secure by pulling on the cable (u D, page 11).
8.3 Creating clean soldering joints
Proceed as follows to solder a cable to the original cables:
➤ Strip approx 10 mm of insulation from the end of the original cable
(v A, page 12).
➤ Strip approx 15 mm of insulation from the end of the cable to be
connected (v B, page 12).
➤ Wind the cable to be connected around the original cable and solder the
two cables together (v C, page 12).
➤ Insulate the two cables with insulating tape (v D, page 12).
Proceed as follows to solder two cables together:
➤ Strip the two cables (w A, page 12).
➤ Place a shrink sleeve with a length of approx. 20 mm over the cable
(w B, page 12).
➤ Twist the cables together and solder them (w C, page 12).
➤ Place a shrink sleeve over the soldered point and heat it gently
(w D, page 12).
