Remove the oversheath of both cables to dimension a, measured from the reference line.
Clean the remaining oversheath of both cables for about 600 mm.
Cable 1: Do not cut the armour wires. Carefully bend them back away from the joint area.
Cable 2: Cut partly through the armour wires at the oversheath cut. Bend and break them off at this position.
Cable Overlap
Overlap the cables to be jointed according to dimensions in
drawing.For dimension a see table below.
Mark the reference line as shown in drawing.

Cut the cores at the reference line. Remove the inner sheath to dimension b (see Table 1).
Place a wire binder temporarily over the copper tape screen 40 mm away from the inner sheath cut.
Remove the copper tape screen against the wire binder.
Thoroughly remove the core screen to the dimension given in drawing, so that the insulation surface is free from all traces of
conductive material.
Note: Do not nick the insulation!

Cut back the insulation to dimension I = half length of
connector + 5 mm. See table below.
Joint the conductors by crimping.
Remove any sharp edges.
Clean and degrease the connector and insulation.
Completion of joint
Slide the combined tubing set and the outer sleeve over
the cable end where the armour wires are still covered.
The plastic bag of the tubing set can be used as additional
protection by placing it under the tubing set.
1. Stress control tubing (black)
2. Screened insulating sleeve (black and red)
3. Inner sleeve (black)
4. Outer sleeve (black)
Note: If the tubings cannot all be nested together as shown,
position them behind each other, so that they can be
installed in the sequence 1,2,3 and 4.
Do not park any tubings on the other cable side.

B. Cable with wire screen
Open the small aluminium bag and take the short yellow void
filling strips with the pointed ends.
Remove the release papers of each strip and wrap the void
filler around the core screen starting 20 mm from the end of
the screen and continue onto the insulation for 10 mm.
Stretch the strip to half of its original width to achieve a fine
thin edge.
Position the screened insulating sleeve (black and red)
centrally over the previously installed tubing.
a. Start shrinking the sleeve in the centre (1).
b. Check if fully shrunk by twisting the end.
The sleeve should not move from its position.
c. Continue shrinking by working towards one side (2),
stopping 50 mm from the end.
Shrink the other half in the same way (3).
d. Shrink down the first end (4) and finally the second (5).
The sleeve should be fully shrunk without
leaving ridges.
Open the large aluminium foil bag and remove one
release paper from the void filling tape (yellow) and roll it up.
Wrap it around the conductor with a 50% overlap stretching it
to about half of its original width.
Fill up the connector area continuing onto the insulation for
not more than 5 mm.
Note: Do not use too much void filling tape.
The final diameter should be only slightly greater than the
core or connector diameter, whichever is larger,
but ensure a minimum thickness of 2 mm on top of the
connector.
Pull the stress control tubing (black) from the inside of the
tubing set and position it centrally over the connector.
Start shrinking in the centre working towards the ends.
The tubing should be fully shrunk and wrinkle free.
A. Cable with tape screen
Remove the wire binder from the end of the copper tape
screen.
Open the small aluminium foil bag and remove the release
papers from the short yellow void filling strip with the pointed
ends. Fix the metal tape screen into place by wrapping the
yellow void filler for 5 mm around it. Continue over the core
screen covering the insulation for 10 mm.
Stretch the strip to half of its original width to achieve a fine
thin edge.

A. Cable with tape screen
Wrap two layers of copper mesh with a 50 % overlap round
the joint area, continuing for 30 mm onto the copper tape
screen.
Position the earth lead across the joint and secure
temporarily with a PVC-tape. Fix a roll spring over the copper
mesh and the earth lead where they cover the copper tape
screen of the cable. Wrap the roll spring twice over the
copper mesh and the individual earth lead.
Fold the end of the earth lead back over the roll spring.
Wrap the rest of the roll spring over the earth lead and
tighten with a twisting action.
Fix it into place with two layers of adhesive tape.
Centre the inner sleeve (black) over the joint area.
Start shrinking in the centre, working towards the ends.
This sleeve is to seal on to the cable inner sheath.
B. Cable with wire screen
Wrap one layer of mesh tape round the joint with a 50%
overlap so that the whole joint area is covered.
Bend the screen wires back over the joint area.
Gather the ends of the screen wires together and
connect them on the side of the joint by crimping or any other
equivalent method.
Distribute the screen wires evenly over the joint area. Wrap a
second layer of mesh tape round the joint with a 50% overlap
so that the whole joint area is covered.

Thoroughly clean the armour wires from cable 1.
Separate the armour wires and form equal bunches,
according to the number of the mechanical connectors
supplied with the kit.
Fold back the long armour wires tightly across the joint, cut to
length, and connect them using the mechanical connectors
provided. Shear off the connector bolts.
The joint is now completed. Allow to cool before moving.
Wrap a piece of the inner bedding of the cable sheath over
the connectors.
Using the adhesive cotton tape provided, ensure all the wires
are close to the cable and tubing set over the length of the
joint and that there are no sharp edges.
Abrade and degrease the cable jacket for 100 mm at both
sides of the joint.
Position the outer sealing sleeve centrally, then shrink the
sleeve down starting in the centre and working towards
the ends.
Carefully remove 100 mm of the oversheath on cable side 2.
Do not cut the armour wires.
Lift the armour wires and thoroughly clean.
Separate the armour wires and form equal bunches to suit
the number of armour wire connectors included in the joint
kit.
Please dispose of all waste according to
environmental regulations.
