NOTE: For Aluminum Conductors - Thoroughly wire brush conductor strands to remove aluminum oxide layer. Insert conductor into lug or connector and then remove conductor. This will transfer some of the antioxidant compound onto the conductor. Wire brush the
NOTE: Die/crimper head rotation between consecutive crimps is RECOMMENDED.
14.2Position connector or lug and crimp according to manufacturer's directions. Remove excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings following crimping.
15.0Clean Cable Insulation and Lug or Connector Barrel Using Standard Practice
15.1Wipe the cable insulation with one of the solvent saturated pads from the 3M™ Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit
DO NOT ALLOW SOLVENT TO TOUCH SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
15.2If abrasive must be used:
a.Use on insulation only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE ON
b.Use only aluminum oxide abrasive; grit 120 or finer, included in the 3M Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit
c.Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
16.0Install Termination
16.1Slide the termination body onto the cable and remove core. Make sure the termination body (not the core) is butted
up to the edge of the vinyl tape marker previously applied (Figure 24). Pull the core while unwinding, counter- clockwise, starting with the loose end (Figure 24). Be sure to alternate the pulling and unwinding actions (pull-
NOTE: Once the termination body makes contact over the mastic seal area, there is no need to continue supporting the assembly. Do not push or pull on the termination assembly while unwinding the core.
