  1. Disassemble the Connector: Unscrew the two end caps and remove the internal terminal block from the main body of the connector.
  2. Припремите каблове: For each cable, strip approximately 20-25 mm of the outer insulation. Then, strip about 7-9 mm of insulation from each individual wire (live, neutral, earth).
  3. Уметните жице: Loosen the screws on the terminal block. Insert the stripped ends of the wires into the corresponding terminals (Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure no stray wire strands are exposed.
  4. Tighten Terminals: Securely tighten the screws on the terminal block to firmly hold the wires. Gently tug on each wire to confirm it is properly secured.
  5. Assemble Connector: Carefully guide the prepared cables through the end caps and into the main body of the connector, ensuring the terminal block is correctly seated.
  6. Затегните жлезде: Hand-tighten the end caps firmly onto the main body. Then, use an appropriate wrench to tighten the cable glands on both ends to ensure a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
  7. Коначна провера: Visually inspect the assembled connector to ensure all parts are correctly aligned and tightened.
