Use the provided Posi-Lock connectors to connect the wire leads together, color to color, including the bare shield wire. Alternatively, the cable conductors can be soldered together.
Use the Posi-Lock connectors as follows:
1.Unscrew and remove the ends from the center of the Posi-Lock connector.
2.Insert one bare wire end through one of the Posi-Lock end.
3.Insert the matching other bare wire end through the other Posi-Lock end.
4.Screw each Posi-Lock end onto the Posi-Lock center piece.
5.Tighten securely by hand but be sure not to strip the threads.
6.Repeat steps 1-5 for each wire lead.
The center of the tube is the ideal location for the wire splice. This location ensures the splice will be submerged within the encapsulant when you fill the tube in Section 3.
Adjust the position as follows:
1.Slide the cable through the removable cap towards the center of the tube. You likely will have to adjust the Kellems grip and grommet manually to accomodate this.
Note: This step creates slack in the cable inside the tube.
Note: Be careful not to disrupt the spliced wire leads.
2.On the fixed end of the tube, pull the cable away from the center, out through the grommet.
Note: This step removes the slack created in Step 1.
Note: Be careful not to disrupt the spliced wire leads.
3.Repeat Steps 1-2 as needed until the wire splice is in the center of the tube.
1.Ensure the grommet is firmly and snugly in place on the adapter connector.
2.Slide the fitting nut over the grommet and screw it onto the adapter connector.
Note: Make sure the cable doesn’t move during this step.
2.4Assemble the Removable End Cap
1.Ensure the grommet is firmly and snugly in place on the adapter connector.
2.Slide the fitting nut over the grommet and screw it onto the adapter connector.
Note: Make sure the cable doesn’t move during this step.
Note: Do not connect the assembled removable end cap to the tube until you have finished filling the tube with encapsulant. Refer to Section 3 for more information.
When all the connections are complete, use the supplied CK200 encapsulant to protect the splice, as instructed in Section 3.
