The typical procedure for installing the connector on cable sizes LMR-400 and LMR-600 (also is the
same procedure on DB and FR) is:
?? Flush cut the cable squarely.
?? Slide the heat shrink boot and crimp ring onto the cable. Strip the cable-end using the ST-400-EZ
or ST-600-EZ prep/strip tool by inserting the cable into End 1 and rotating the tool. Remove any
residual dielectric material from the center conductor.
?? Insert the cable into End 2 of the tool and rotate the tool to remove the plastic jacket.
?? Deburr the center conductor using the DBT-01 deburring tool.
?? Flare the braid slightly and push the connector body onto the cable until the connector snaps into
place, then slide the crimp ring forward, creasing the braid.
?? Temporarily slide the crimp ring back, and remove the connector body from the cable to trim the
excess braid at the crease line, then remount the connector and slide the crimp ring forward until
it butts up against the connector body.
?? Position the heavy duty HX-4 crimp tool with the appropriate dies (CT-400/300 tool may be
used on LMR-400) directly behind and adjacent to the connector body, and crimp the connector.
The HX-4 crimp tool automatically releases when the crimp is complete.
?? Position the heat shrink boot as far forward on the connector body as possible, without
interfering with the coupling nut and use a heat gun to form a weather tight seal.
The procedure for installing the connector on cable sizes LMR-400-LLPL and LMR-600-LLPL is
very similar with a couple of differences:
?? Flush cut the cable squarely.
?? Slide the heat shrink boot and crimp ring onto the cable. Strip the cable-end using the ST-400-EZ
or ST-600-EZ prep/strip tool by inserting the cable into End 1 and rotating the tool. Remove any
residual dielectric material from the center conductor.
?? Insert the cable into End 2 of the tool and rotate the tool to remove the plastic jacket.
?? Deburr the center conductor using the DBT-01 deburring tool.
?? Flare the braid slightly, then put a slight taper on the front edge of the aluminum-covered
dielectric by ‘rolling’ your fingers around the stripped end. (The heat shrink boot can also be
used rather than your fingers.)
?? Rotate (turn) and push the connector body with a screwing motion (to prevent the foil from
pushing back) onto the cable until the connector snaps into place. Then slide the crimp ring
forward creasing the braid.
?? Temporarily slide the crimp ring back, and remove the connector body from the cable to trim the
excess braid at the crease line, then remount the connector and slide the crimp ring forward until
it butts up against the connector body.
?? Position the heavy duty HX-4 crimp tool with the appropriate dies (CT-400/300 tool may be
used on LMR-400-LLPL) directly behind and adjacent to the connector body, and crimp the
connector. The HX-4 crimp tool automatically releases when the crimp is complete.
?? Position the heat shrink boot as far forward on the connector body as possible, without
interfering with the coupling nut and use a heat gun to form a weather tight seal.
