Step #1a Remove end plate from organizer
assembly.
Step #1b Remove the end plate caps from the
selected cable ports and break out
the tabs.
PLP Tip:
Scoring edges of tabs with knife
makes them break out easier.
End Plate Preparation
Break out entrance ports 3 and 4
for expressed feeder ber.
Step #1d Break out entrance port 2 for local ber.
Step #2 Optional Step
For better stability during cable instal-
lation and ber splicing, install the end
plate onto the COYOTE®Dome End
Plate Fixure (see Steps 3a-b for
installation details).
Optional Step
Install support bracket onto base.
Position sup-
port bracket
onto base and
secure with
wing nuts.
Note: Do not
tighten wing nut
until end plate is
installed.
Base can be
secured to
work surface
with either
clamps or
with bolts.
Loosen wing
nut so slotted
tab of support
bracket can
slide behind
wing nut.
Step #3b Optional Step
Seat the end plate onto the cushion
wedges and secure the support bracket
to the stud of the end plate.
Hand tighten any loose wing nuts to secure end
plate to xture.
The outside surface of the end
plate must rest against the support
bracket.

Follow standard company practices.
Step #10a Lubricate the outer surface of the
grommet.
Lubricate seal-
ing surface of
grommet with
silicone lubri-
cant provided.
Step #10b Position grommet in end plate slot.
For Wide Range 2-Hole
Grommets, make sure
arrows are pointing down
when inserting grommet(s).
Do not align grommet slit
with end plate seam.
Step #12
Step #11 Install cable cap and secure with hex
bolts. Tighten bolts by hand evenly
until cable cap is fully seated. (DO
NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO
TIGHTEN BOLTS).
Important Note:
Tighten all unused cable caps.
Complete end plate assembly.
PLP Tip:
To start cable cap bolts, apply
pressure with thumb and line
up bolts with inserts. Engage
1 or 2 threads on one of the
bolts. Repeat the process on
opposite bolt. Alternate tight-
ening until fully seated.

and **KEVLAR®under clip and
tighten screw.
Secure cable sheath with hose
clamp.
PLP Tip:
Avoid contact between hose clamp and shield
connector to maintain isolation of each cable
ground.

Dome & Collar Installation
Step #29 Slide end plate gasket onto end plate
and press into groove.
Make sure gasket is seated
in groove of end plate
Step #30 Re-tighten all cable cap bolts (step #11) to
assure that the cable caps are fully seated.
When using a can wrench or nut driver, the
installed torque is 35 to 40 in-lbs.
Step #27a
Step #31 Work the gasket into the groove.
Step #32 Position the dome over end plate.
Step #28
Lubricate all inner and outer surfaces of the gasket.
Lubricate all surfaces around gasket
with silicone lubricant to assure easy
assembly and closure re-entry.

Step #33 Position the collar at on the work
surface in front of the closure as
shown below.
Step #34 While holding the collar in place,
compress a portion of the end plate
into the dome and insert them in the
groove of the collar near the latch, as
shown below.
Step #35 While holding the collar in place, push
against the end of the dome and
slightly lift and push the other half of
the dome up and over the lip of the
collar with your ngers to fully install
the dome in the collar half.
Step #36 Check to make sure the lip of the
dome is captured within the collar half.

Flash Test Procedure
Step #39 Remove cap from air valve of end plate.
Step #40 Pressurize closure up to a max of 10 psi. Step #42 Release the pressure in the closure
using the bump on the top of the air
valve cap.
Step #41 Spray all sealing surfaces of the
dome end-plate with soapy water to
determine if there are any leaks.

12
Common End Plate Leaks During
Flash Testing
Leak occurring at the corner of the cable
port due to the cap of the cable port not
being fully tightened.
To resolve, remove collar, remove End Plate/
Organizer Assembly from the Dome, and
tighten bolts on end cap where leak occurred.
Reassemble and ash test to conrm that the
leak has stopped.
Leak occurring at the
corner of the cable port
Leak occurring at the cable entry of the
grommet due to the cable not being within the
stated cable diameter range of the grommet
To resolve, remove collar and remove End
Plate/Organizer Assembly from the Dome.
Remove end cap where leak occurred, remove
grommet, remeasure cable with measure
tape provided and select proper grommet.
