Preparing Cables

Required tools: Crimping tool for crimping lugs onto cables; heat gun

Nortel Networks does not supply the cables for connecting the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply to the DC input power source. You can therefore select cables that comply with the electrical code of the country where you intend to use the DC power supply.

The following items are shipped with the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply:

•Two 2-hole crimp lug terminals with attached heat-shrink tubing (1) for connecting the positive and negative power inputs

•One 1-hole crimp lug terminal with attached heat-shrink tubing (2) for connecting the ground stud

•Five lock washers for connecting all leads

•One lock washer for connecting the ground stud

Caution: As the installer, you have the sole responsibility to ensure that the connection cable used with the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply is appropriate for use with the DC power source to which the power supply is connected. Consider gauge, flammability, and mechanical serviceability when determining which cables to use.

To select and prepare cables for connecting the power supply, use the following guidelines:

•Use a 6-gauge, 3-conductor cable such as an SOW-A, Type 90C or equivalent.

•Use cable that accommodates the supplied DC input and frame ground crimp lugs.

•To connect to the positive and negative terminal leads, use the two-hole lug terminals (1).

•To connect the frame ground lead, use the one-hole terminal (2).

•Strip the outer cable jacket to no less than 1 1/2 inch (3.8 cm) to expose the insulated conductor cables within.

•Strip the insulated conductor cables inside the outer jacket to 0.81 in (2.1 cm).

•Use a standard crimping tool to crimp the lugs onto the cables. Failure to properly crimp the lugs onto the cables constitutes a safety hazard.

•If necessary, use a heat gun to shrink the tubing around the cable.
