 General remarks
• Check the range and size of the cable and the cable accessories.
• Check the content of the kit as per packing list.
• Read the working instructions.

Installation must only be executed by competent personnel.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for breakdowns resulting from incorrect installation.

Shrinking rules
• Use a suitable heat source like gas burner or hot-air blower.
• Set gas burner to a soft (yellow) flame.
• Clean cable sheaths and conductor insulation with a suitable cleaning agent.
• On shrinking, observe even heating, avoid over-heating.

Cable without armouring Cable with armouring

• Cut back the cable sheath according to
C = B + A + X as shown in the
drawing.
X = L + 5 mm for copper conductors
X = L + 10 mm for aluminium
conductors
• Clean the cable sheath.
• Apply sealant mastic DM1 onto the cable
sheath according to the drawing.

• Cut back the cable sheath by 30 mm
for armoured cables.
• Clean the cable sheath.
• Apply sealant mastic DM1 onto the
Cable sheath according to the drawing.

2a)
Without armouring
a) Cable with wire screen:
Fold back the screen wires and fix
them with PVC tape 70 mm under
the end of the cable sheath.
Note: Fix two wires per phase at the
end of the conductors with
PVC tape.
b) Cable with tape screen:
Fix the flat copper braid of the earthing
kit EGA by means of a
pressure spring close to the end
of the cable sheath.
Arrange the flat copper braid and
fix it with PVC tape 70 mm under
the end of the cable sheath.
Cover the screen wires or the earthing
braids with a second layer of mastic
DM1.
CHE-3I(A) 202021/1105/2/7
2b)
With armouring
a) Armoured cables with wire screen:
Fold back the screen wires and fix
them with PVC tape 70 mm under
the end of the cable sheath.
Fix the screen wires by means of
the pressure spring RF onto the
armouring of the cable.
Note: Fix two wires per phase at the
ends of the conductors with
PVC tape.
b) Armoured cables with tape screen:
Fix the flat copper braid onto the
armouring by means of the pressure
spring RF.
Arrange the flat copper braid and fix
it with PVC tape 70 mm under the
end of the cable sheath.
Cover the screen wires or the earthing
braids with a second layer of mastic
DM1.

 3)
a) For cable with wire screen:
Fix two screen wires with PVC tape
As per length B.
b) For cable with tape screen:
Fix the copper tape screen with
tinned wire as per length B and
cut back the upper part of the screen.
Leave 60 mm of the endings of the
binding wire BD.
• Remove carefully the outer conductive
layer (A+X-30 mm). Make sure that the
cut-back edges have a clean cut.
5)
• Push the heat-shrink spreader-cap
SEH over the conductor ends as far as
possible into the crutch area and
shrink it carefully.
CHE-3I(A) 202021/1105/2/7
4)
• Slip on the heat-shrink tubes SR2
(length 350 mm; if B was chosen
< 350 mm, shorten the tubes
accordingly) as far as possible into
the crutch area of the cable and
shrink them carefully.
6)
• Bend the left-over of the screen wire
(or the endings of the binding wire BD)
over the heat-shrink tube and fix it
50 mm underneath the tube ending
with a pressure spring.

 7)
• Remove the insulation for dimension X,
X = L+ 5 mm for copper conductors.
X = L+ 10 mm for aluminium
conductors.
• Protect the ends of the conductors with
PVC tape.
9)
• Moisten the inside of the stress-
control element FSE with GM1.
• Insert the applicator AH into the
stress-control element and slip on
up to the end of the heat-shrink
tube SR2.
• Remove the applicator, pull out
the individual tongues.
CHE-3I(A) 202021/1105/2/7
8)
• In case of an easy strippable
conductive layer, apply lubricant
and filler GM1 at the ends of the
conductive layers according to the
drawing.
10)
• Position the stress-control element
by lightly turning.
• Wrap the sealant mastic DM1 between
the pressure spring and cover 10 mm
of the stress-control element as shown
in the drawing.

 11)
• Remove the PVC tape from the ends
of the conductors.
• Mount the cable lugs according to the
manufacturer`s specification, then
remove all sharp edges and clean.
• Wrap sealant mastic DM1 (grey) onto
the cable lug and cover 10 mm of the
Insulation.
13)
• Slip on the silicon sheds by using the
applicator and position them.
The position of the first shed is at the
upper end of the stress-control
element.
• Additional sheds have to be positioned

• Push the heat-shrink tube (red) over
the cores down to the pressure
spring and shrink it carefully from the
bottom. Do not cover the pressure
spring.
