z Remove the extruded conductive screen.
4 Cut longitudinal split(s) in the outer sheath to a point 40 mm from the edge.
5 Using a blunt tool, make a slight funnel of the outer sheath to fit the earthing device underneath the sheath.
6 Install the earthing device underneath the outer sheath, protruding for a distance of max. 20 mm.
7 Cleat the outer sheath using the stainless steel straps. Twist straps twice around the cable and fold back the ends
to avoid sharp edges.

1Fold one strip of mastic twice (4 layers) and place it under the solder block on the braid. Then wrap the second
strip of mastic over the solder block of the braid and around the outer sheath.
2 Fixate the flexible braid using adhesive tape.
3Apply two layers of semi-conductive tape, overlapping the water sealing mastic by 5mm and overlapping the
earthing device by 5mm (50% stretch, 50% overlap).

TIGHTENING OF THE CONTACT
1 Install the contact with the contact palm facing the bushing interface.
2Tighten the contact until the bolt head shears off.
(*) For 70 - 95 mm², tighten again until the second level of the bolt head shears off.
3After tightening the contact, slide the cable reducer up until it butts against the contact.

CONNECTOR INSTALLATION ON THE CABLE
1Thoroughly clean cable reducer and contact.
2Lubricate* the cable reducer and inside surface of the connector.
3Slide the connector housing on to the reducer until it cannot advance any further.
4 Insert the supplied hex key into the pin contact. Insert the threaded end of the pin contact into the mating part and
engage threads. Take care not to cross threads.
5 Tighten with the supplied hex key until the key has taken a set.
NOTE:
-The hex key must be inserted in the pin contact until it cannot advance any further.
-The hex key is only usable twice (once every side).

CONNECTOR INSTALLATION ON THE BUSHING
1Clean and lubricate* lightly both
bushing interface and elbow connector
interface.
2 Place the elbow connector firmly down
on the bushing
& .
3 Insert bail into the bushing tabs and
position bail over elbow connector
é .
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 :
- Never disconnect the connector from energised equipment nor energise a disconnected connector
without previously installing an appropriate 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.
4 Connect earthing lead of the connector and flexible braid to the system earth.

Continue the installation on page 4.
1Cut the cable 5mm from the centerline of the bushing.
2Remove the outer sheath for a distance of 130 mm.
3Remove the copper tape screen and fabric tape to a point 25 mm from
the outer sheath and secure it with a wrap of adhesive tape.
Do not remove the graphite varnish at this stage.
4Cut longitudinal split(s) in the outer sheath to a point 40 mm from the edge.
5Using a blunt tool, make a slight funnel of the outer sheath to fit the earthing device underneath the sheath.
6Install the earthing device underneath the outer sheath. Have it protruded by maximum 20 mm.
7Cleat the outer sheath using the stainless steel straps. Twist straps twice around the cable and fold back the ends
to avoid sharp edges.
8Apply 2 layers of semi-conductive tape, (50% stretch, 50% overlap), as follows: start taping on
the metal straps (ensure the splits are covered), up to a point 40 mm behind the outer sheath. Without cutting the
tape, apply a second layer back to the start.
9Remove the core insulation from the conductor for a distance of 30 mm.
aUsing an appropriate solvent thoroughly remove the graphite coating up to the semi-conductive
tape.
zSlightly round-off the edge of the core insulation. Do not sharpen in cone-shape.
