1 Temporarily install the cable lug on to the equipment and hold the
cable next to it.
2 Mark the bottom of the cable lug on the cable (reference point A).
3 Measure the depth of the cable lug bore (length L) and mark this
distance above the reference point A on the cable
(reference point B).
4 Cut the cable at the reference point B.

CABLE PREPARATION
1 Remove the outer cable sheath for a distance X + L + 30 mm.
L = depth of the cable lug bore
X = see table 2
2 Remove the copper tape screen to a point 20 mm above the cut
edge of the outer sheath.
3 Remove the semi-conductive screen up to 45 - 50 mm above
the cut edge of the outer sheath.
Check if the cable insulation diameter is in accordance with the
termination range. See table 2.
4 Bare the conductor for a distance L + 30 mm.
IMPORTANT : To ensure the termination slips on easily, the
edge of the core insulation should be rounded and
slightly roughened using the supplied emery cloth.

4. 5 Using a tinned copper wire, cleat the earth braid onto the copper tape screen.
6 Using adhesive tape, secure the earth braid approx. 60 mm below the edge of the outer sheath.
7 Completely overtape the cleating with semi-conductive tape. All sharp edges must be covered. Make a step at
20 mm from the edge of the outer sheath.
8 For cables with extruded easy strip semi-conductive screen (see detail)
- Apply one layer of field control mastic, type MFC (Hi-K) on the core insulation, flush with the extruded semi-
conductive screen.
- Squeeze it tightly in place using the coated side of the paper.

1 Remove burrs from the conductor and as a protection, wrap a few turns of adhesive tape around
the conductor end.
2 Remove any traces of conductive residue from the core insulation.
3 Lubricate core insulation and the inner surface of the termination (use only the silicone lubricant
supplied).
4 Push the termination on the cable, until the internal step in the bottom part of the termination butts against the
step made by the cleating and taping. Remove protective tape from the conductor.
5 - Crimp contacts : crimp according specification.
- Bolted contacts : tighten the screws, refer to the installation instruction included with the contact.
6 Remove any burrs after crimping/tightening and wipe off excess inhibitor.
