How to Install the VS-CKP1K4/0-500 Insulation-Piercing Connection Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the VS-CKP1K4/0-500 insulation-piercing connectors for tapping into copper conductors.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, T10 Torx driver, 3/16” Allen wrench, Torque driver

Supplies needed:

Insulation-piercing connectors, Ferrules, Mounting screws

  1. Prepare AVT Sensor Leads

    Strip insulation from the AVT sensor leads and crimp ferrules onto the leads using a crimp tool.

  2. Insert Sensor Leads into Connector

    Disengage the insulating cover retention features, lift the cover, and insert the prepared AVT sensor leads through the openings in the insulating cover.

  3. Connect Sensor Leads to Screw Terminals

    Loosen the connector screw terminals using a T10 Torx driver, fully insert the AVT sensor leads into the terminals, and tighten them to 7 in-lb torque.

  4. Secure Insulating Cover

    Position the insulating cover back into place and engage all four retention features to ensure it is securely attached.

  5. Install Connector onto Phase Wire

    Separate the top and bottom halves of the connector, position them over the phase (run) wire, and tighten the main fasteners to 80 in-lb torque, ensuring the wire remains centered.

  6. Finalize Installation

    Hold the torque at 80 in-lb for 5 seconds on each fastener to complete the installation. Ensure the connector is properly secured before energizing the panel.
