END CAP TERMINATION
1. Score and remove 3" (8cm)of the
outer jacket from the end of the
heater.
2. Slide the braid back from the end
of the heater and cut about 1.5"
(4cm) squarely off the end of the
heater, making sure the conductors
are not in contact with each other.
3. Slide a heat shrink cap over the
end of the heater allowing 1" (3cm)
to cover the heater.
4. Apply heat to shrink the sleeve
around the heater. Heat until glue
begins to flow from cap.
5. Slide the braid over sealed shrink
sleeve and twist end of braid into
a cold lead.
6. Slide the .75" x 6" (2 x 15cm) long
piece of shrink sleeve over the
braid so that .5" (1cm) extends out
past the end of the cold lead.
7. Apply heat to shrink the sleeve
around the heater and braid. While
the sleeve is still hot, squeeze
with needle nose pliers and hold
together until cool to seal the
shrink sleeve end. If end does not
remain visibly sealed when pliers
are re moved, repeat this seal-
ing step. The end must remain
visibly sealed when the pliers are
removed.
