-
Further required components depending on application and cable type (optional supply) :
- Semi-conductive tape, type TSC, for fabric tape screened cable only
- Water sealing mastic, type MWS, for outdoor applications only
This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage
90379E-R/8
electrical equipment. These instructions are not intended as a substitute for adequate training or experience in such safety
practices. These instructions do not attempt to provide for every possible contingency.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
IMPORTANT : Cable and associated apparatus must be de-energised, locked out, and tagged prior to product installation.

FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS :
- Wrap one layer of water sealing mastic (type MWS)
around the outer sheath, flush with the end (25 mm
minimum width). Completely encircle the cable.
- Bend the screen wires back over the mastic and
along the outer sheath, pressing them into the mastic.
IMPORTANT: screen wires should not touch each
other when pressed into the mastic to prevent water
ingress.
4. Cut the cable to a point 235 mm from the outer sheath.

3. Fit the contact on to the conductor.
4. Position crimp contact so the contact hole aligns with the bushing hole.
5. Prior to crimping distance «Z» must be between 160 and 170 mm.
6. Crimp the contact.
7. After crimping distance «Z» must be between 165 and 175 mm.

1. Clean and lightly lubricate* the inside surface of the connector housing and outer surface of the cable reducer.
2. Check if the angle of the tee connector housing is correct relative to the palm of the crimp contact and, whilst
preventing the cable reducer from further movement down the cable, gently slide the housing on the cable until it
cannot advance any further.
3. Make sure the cable reducer stays in place during installation and remove tape marker from the cable.

NOTE :
A connector/bushing mated combination should not be allowed to carry the full
weight of the cable.
Therefore it is necessary to clamp the cable as close as possible to the connector.
IMPORTANT NOTES :
- In order to achieve the correct applied torque ensure that there is no lubricant on the threaded parts.
- Never disconnect the connector from energised equipment nor energise a disconnected connector without
previously installing on its appropriate corresponding mating part.
- Do not allow hydrocarbon oils or solvents to contaminate the E.P.D.M. rubber.
In the event of contamination, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.
