14. Ensure that the safety interlock connector is wired to a test fixture that ensures operator
safety, and prepare the safety interlock cable for insertion into the safety interlock
connector.
a) Measure and mark your strip length on the safety interlock cable.
b) Use an insulation strip tool to expose cable of the appropriate length.
c) The safety interlock connector accepts both solid and multi-strand conductor
cabling. If you are using a multi-stranded cable, twist the strands together before
insertion. For additional cabling reliability, strip and tin multi-stranded conductors
before insertion.
d) Insert the cable.
