How to Install the DYC 2/0 Street Lighting Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and wiring the DYC 2/0 street lighting kit, including cable preparation, fuse holder installation, and final assembly.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable diameter measuring tool, Utility knife, Wire strippers, Crimping tool with appropriate dies, Wire brush (for aluminum cable)

Supplies needed:

Y-Type housing, Load side (Plug) housing, Line end insert, Fuse holder, Connecting link (DYA & DYC only) or Fuse (13/32" x 1 1/2", 600V 30A max, non-glass), Nut, Bolt, Belleville washers, Lugs (1 set), Assembly Dowel, Lubricant, HM53 inhibitor or equivalent (for aluminum cable)

  1. Prepare the Load Side Housing

    WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. CAUTION: This product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Measure the load side cable diameter and refer to Table 1 in the documentation. Cut off the corresponding sections of the load side (plug) housing to match the cable's outer diameter.

  2. Clean and Strip the 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 3/8 inch of insulation from the cable end.

  3. Crimp the Fuse Holder

    Insert the stripped load side cable into the crimp barrel of the fuse holder. Using an appropriate crimping tool and die (refer to Table 2 in the documentation for guidance), securely crimp the fuse holder to the cable. CAUTION: Do not over strip the cable insulation.

  4. Install Fuse Holder into Load Side Housing

    Lightly apply lubricant 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 securely into position. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

  5. Insert 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 Cable for Connection

    For a 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 cable insulation to fit the compression lugs.

  7. Crimp Lugs to Run Cable

    Crimp the lugs to the run cable using a proper crimping tool, ensuring the pad portions of the lugs are back to back. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the pads of the lugs, apply HM53 inhibitor or equivalent, and then wipe off any excess inhibitor.

  8. Assemble and Tighten the Line End Insert

    Assemble the line end insert components, including the nut, bolt, Belleville washers, and lugs, as shown in the illustration. Securely tighten the bolted assembly.

  9. Install Line End Insert into Y-Type Housing

    Apply lubricant to the mating surfaces. 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 the Y-Type housing, slide the housing toward the line end insert. Push the line end insert until it is fully seated in the housing.

  10. Connect Load Side Housing to Line End Insert

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