How to Assemble and Install the DYC/FYC Street Lighting Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and installing the DYC/FYC copper or aluminum street lighting kit, including cable preparation, fuse holder assembly, and final connections.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Measuring tool (e.g., caliper or ruler), Cutting tool (e.g., utility knife or cable cutter), Wire strippers, Proper crimping tool (refer to Table 2 for specifics), Wood dowel, Wire brush (for aluminum cable applications)

Supplies needed:

DYC/FYC Street Lighting Kit components (Y-Type housing, Load side housing, Line end insert, Fuse holder, Connecting link, Nut, Bolt, Belleville washers, Lugs), Fuse (13/32" x 1 1/2", 600V 30A max) OR Connecting link (if not using a fuse), Lubricant, Electrical cable (for load side and run connection), HM53 inhibitor or equivalent (if using aluminum cable)

  1. Review Safety Warnings and Prepare Load Side Housing

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. CAUTION: Product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. CAUTION: Identify LINE and LOAD sides of wiring and molded connector bodies before beginning installation. Measure the load side cable diameter and refer to Table 1 to select the corresponding section on the load side (plug) housing. Cut off any remaining sections of the housing to match the size referenced in the Range column of Table 1.

  2. Clean and Strip Load Side Cable

    Thoroughly clean approximately 8 inches along the load side cable end. Apply lubricant and insert the cable through the small hole in the load side (plug) housing. Push the cable through a sufficient distance to allow for 3/8 inch of insulation stripping. Strip the insulation a distance of 3/8 inch as shown in the diagram. CAUTION: Do not over strip the cable insulation.

  3. Crimp Fuse Holder to Load Side Cable

    Insert the stripped load side cable into the crimp barrel of the fuse holder. Crimp the connection securely using a proper crimping tool. Refer to Table 2 in the original documentation for suggested tools and dies based on conductor size.

  4. Secure Fuse Holder into Load Side Housing

    Apply lubricant lightly to the outside of the fuse holder. Place the provided wood dowel into the fuse holder's socket and position the free end of the dowel against a firm surface. Push the load side (plug) housing forward until the fuse holder snaps firmly into its locked position. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

  5. Install Fuse or Connecting Link

    Insert a 13/32 inch by 1 1/2 inch fuse (600 Volt 30 Amp maximum) or the connecting link into the load side (plug) housing. WARNING: DO NOT use a glass body fuse.

  6. Prepare Y-Type Housing and Run Connection Cable

    For the run connection, select and cut the correct cut-off ring on the Y-Type housing for the cable being used. Cut and bevel the cable insulation. Apply lubricant to the end of the cable and the cut opening of the housing. Slide the cable through until it extends 2 to 3 inches beyond the housing. Strip the insulation to fit the compression lugs.

  7. Crimp Lugs to Run Cable

    Crimp the lugs onto the stripped run connection cable using a proper crimping tool. Ensure that the pad portions of the lugs are positioned back-to-back. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the pads of the lugs, apply HM53 inhibitor or an equivalent product on the pads, and then wipe off any excess inhibitor.

  8. Assemble and Tighten Bolted Insert

    Assemble the insert components as shown in the provided illustration. Carefully tighten the bolted assembly to ensure a secure connection.

  9. Install Line End Insert into Y-Type Housing

    Apply lubricant as shown in the documentation's illustration. Slide the Y-Type housing up to the bottom of the line end insert. Push the line end insert into the opening of the Y-Type housing. While pulling on the cables and holding onto the Y-Type housing, slide the housing toward the line end insert. Continue to push the line end insert until it is fully seated in the housing.

  10. Connect Load Side to Line End

    Lubricate both the male and female components of the connection. Carefully insert the load side (plug) housing, which contains the installed link or fuse clip, into the line end insert until it is fully engaged and secured.
