Unconnected connectors must always be protected from pollution (e.g.dust

humidity, foreign particles, etc), prior to installation. Do NOT leave unconnected

(unprotected) connectors exposed to the environment..

3.2 Termination of the cable wires / crimping of the contacts

Connectors use different crimp contacts for various wire gauges. It is necessary to use the proper

tool for wire gauge size. Possible connectable wire gauges sizes are 4.0 mm²/AWG12, 6.0 mm²

/AWG10. The tools to be used are selected based upon the wire gauge.

Shelf life: The contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for

use to prevent from storage contamination that could adversely affect

connection.

3.2.1 Handling Of Connectors and Cables

The cable must not be bent or crushed on the direct exit of the cable screw joint

A minimum bending radius R≥5 x Cable diameter must be maintained.

The cable must be routed in a way that the tensile stress on the conductor or connections is

prevented (see Figure 2).

The PV4 connectors is to be used only to interconnect firmly fixed cables

Figure 2

3.2.2 Assembly and Connection of Wire Leads

The crimping contact must be performed in the following procedure:

1) Stripping insulation of the wire lead

Using the appropriate wire stripping tool, strip the wire as indicated in Figure 3 and Table 1

without damaging the strands.
