Notes on the electrical connections
6.2
Using branch connectors
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to en-
sure that the cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:
➤ Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector
(fig. d A, page 7).
➤ Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear
groove (fig. d B, page 7).
➤ Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the
metal pin in. This creates an electrical connection (fig. d C, page 7).
➤ Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
➤ Check that the connection is secure by gently tugging the cable (fig. d D,
page 7).
6.3
Creating clean soldering joints
Proceed as follows to solder a cable to the original cables:
➤ Strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end of the original cable
(fig. e A, page 8).
➤ Strip approx. 15 mm of insulation from the end of the cable to be connect-
ed (fig. e B, page 8).
➤ Wind the cable to be connected around the original cable and solder the
two cables together (fig. e C, page 8).
➤ Insulate the two cables with insulating tape (fig. e D, page 8).
Proceed as follows to solder two cables together:
➤ Strip the two cables (fig. f A, page 8).
➤ Place a shrink sleeve with a length of approx. 20 mm over the cable
(fig. f B, page 8).
➤ Twist the cables together and solder them (fig. f C, page 8).
➤ Place a shrink sleeve over the soldered point and heat it briefly (fig. f D,
page 8).
