Flat Cables assembly operations
Cut the flat cable, slide on it the cable gland nut and the gasket. Remove insulation as requested by drawing. Let the braid around the cable.
Pass the cable through the cable gland, then assemble the braid in one or 2 wires.
Remove the flat cable saddle and the connector terminal screws.
Put the 2 terminal screws on the wires and tighten them.
Put the flat cable saddle and tighten its screws.
Slide the flat cable gasket into the cable gland and tighten the nut. Connect the second flat cable the same way.
Round cable assembly operations
Remove insulation on round cable as requested by drawing. Eventually, put cable shoes or tin solder on naked ends. Slide the cable gland nut and gasket on the cable.
Put the neutral and line wires inside the screw terminals and tighten them.
Put the ground wire inside the ground terminal and tighten the screw.
Slide the round cable gasket into the cable gland and tighten the nut. Shut the enclosure, tighten the 4 cover screws. Mount the connection box on its place, and fix it with wall mounting legs or cable tie.
