After the respective electrical installations have been identified, the following five essential requirements shall be undertaken in the specified order unless there are essential reasons for doing otherwise:

• disconnect completely;
• secure against re-connection;
• verify absence of operating voltage;
• carry out grounding and short-circuiting;
• provide protection against adjacent live parts
  Any person engaged in this work activity shall be electrically skilled or instructed, or shall be supervised by such a person Source: EN 50110-1:2013

Protection against electric shock shall be checked in the end-use applications too.

Caution

Each time the connector is used, it should previously be inspected for external defects. If there are any doubts as to its safety, a specialist must be consulted.
Use only in accordance with the specification provided in the technical data (see product catalog).
The wearing of suitable protective equipment or the performance of the relevant work is the responsibility of the user.
Components and packaging materials are not toys; small parts can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Packaging material can pose a risk of suffocation.
Proper disposal of products and packaging materials after use.

Fitting the crimping die
(ill. 20)

• Open the crimping pliers (press com-pletely together and release).
• Insert both crimping dies.
• The markings must be on the same side as the marking on the crimping pliers.
• Close crimping pliers and screw both crimping dies.
• But take care not to strip screw heads and to put each screw in its proper location.

(ill. 21)
Affix locator onto the guide pin.

(ill. 22)
Rotate the locator (held magnetically)

(ill. 23)

Crimping

(ill. 24)

• Open and hold clamp (K).
• Place the contact in the appropriate cross-section range.
• Turn the crimping flaps (C) upwards.
• Release clamp (K).
• The contact is fixed.

(ill. 25)
Verify if the crimping flaps are still correctly aligned.
Press the pliers gently together until the crimping flaps are properly located with-in the crimping die.

(ill. 26)
Insert the stripped cable end until the cable strands come up against the clamp.

(ill. 27)
Visually check the crimp according to the criteria written in IEC 60352-2:2006 + A1:2013

Confirm that:

• All of the strands have been captured in the crimp sleeve
• The crimp sleeve is not deformed or missing any portion of the crimp flaps
• That the crimp is symmetrical in form
• A “brush” of conductor strands are visible on the contact side of crimp.

Verify crimp height. Typical values for the crimp height for Stäubli PV cable Flex-Sol-Evo TX and Flex-Sol-Evo DX are listed below:.

Good crimp

Bad crimp:

• Stamped parts bent wrongly

• Material flow outwards

• Open crimp wings

• Not included strands
