otherwise) DeWalt 20V MAX Cable Crimping tool with die (DCE300M2) 12-Ton using Greenlee KC12 hex U-dies
2. The ground conductor for the CS1000 series devices shall be limited to a maximum size of 1/0 AWG
3. Intended to be wired with conductors rated to 90°C or higher
NOTICE: Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to this device.
NOTICE: For correct operation, the power cable must not exert significant force on the
product.
Wiring of the main conductor
Strip the conductor by approximately 1-1/8" depending on the lug used. Lugs that are to
be crimped with Greenee EK6IDL11 Crimping Tool shall have 1 crimp applied. Lugs that
are to be crimped using the DeWalt 12-Ton tool shall have 2 crimps applied.
Tighten small (through 45-3A12D) Straight Threaded Lugs (Type D) with a 21 mm
wrench and large (45-3A18D and up) with a 24 mm wrench. Tighten Straight With
Terminal Lug (Type C) screw and washer with a 19 mm socket.
The tightening torque must not be transmitted to the insulated casing. To avoid
transmitting torque to the device when securing the lugs, hold the terminal in place
with a 20 mm wrench.
