How to Install the 10TL Adapter for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cables
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 10TL adapter with ELASTIMOLD distribution products on cables featuring tape insulation shields and flat metallic tape drains. Ensure all safety precautions are followed during installation.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Knife or Cable Stripping Tool, Rag, Soldering Iron, Wire Strippers, Measuring Tape
Supplies needed:
Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Approved Safety Solvent, 3/4" (19mm) wide PVC Insulating Electrical Tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) Wire, Grounding Lead, Electrical Insulating Tape
- De-energize Apparatus and Prepare for Installation
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Inspect all components for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure the package contents are complete and undamaged. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. Have all required tools ready and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare Cable Jacket and Metallic Tape
Remove the outer jacket a distance of 2 inches (51mm) more than the dimension specified in the ELASTIMOLD product instructions. Then, remove the metallic tape to a point 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the remaining outer jacket.
- Remove Semiconducting Tape
Remove the semiconducting tape to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.
- Apply Retainer and Marker Tapes
Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 turns of 3/4 inch (19mm) wide PVC insulating electrical tape over the semiconducting and metallic tapes, 1/2 inch (13mm) from the edge of the outer jacket, to serve as a tape retainer. Then, wrap 2 turns of vinyl plastic electrical tape over the outer jacket, 1 inch (25mm) from its edge, to serve as a tape marker.
- Clean and Lubricate Cable and Adapter
Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of semiconducting residue. Use a rag soaked with an approved safety solvent, wiping from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket. Lubricate the prepared cable and the inside of the 10TL adapter with the supplied lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE).
- Slide Adapter onto Cable
Slide the 10TL adapter onto the cable using a forward, side-to-side twisting motion until it is flush with the tape marker. The step on the adapter will serve as a marker for subsequent ELASTIMOLD product assembly.
- Install ELASTIMOLD Product
Install the ELASTIMOLD distribution product by following the specific installation instructions provided with that product. A maximum gap of 1/8 inch (3mm) between the ELASTIMOLD product and the adapter's step is permissible after installation.
- Remove Tape Marker
Carefully remove the tape marker from the cable after the ELASTIMOLD product has been fully assembled and installed.
- Ground Metallic Shielding Tape
Approximately 2 inches (51mm) back from the end of the adapter, remove the outer jacket a distance of 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Using #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire and a grounding lead, fasten the grounding lead to the metallic shielding tape by making several wraps with the #14 AWG wire. Solder the ground lead securely to the metallic tape, avoiding excessive heat to prevent cable damage. After soldering, wrap the soldered area with electrical insulating tape, overlapping each cable jacket approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm). WARNING: UNGROUNDED SHIELDS ARE DANGEROUS.
