11.0 Wire Terminations
The purpose for preparing wire termination data is to offer the field a cable termination installation
ticket that records the wire connections. If this data is not prepared, the a cable termination
installation ticket can still be printed but the wire numbers and terminal numbers will be blank. At
the very least, the designer/administrator should input the Cable Wire Colors and the chart name
for each cable type.
There are two methods for preparing wire termination data. Data can be entered one cable at a
time using the Cable Terminations and Jumpers Input Form or many cables can be prepared
simultaneously using the Wintab.
Cable Terminations spreadsheet. The advantage of the spreadsheet is that data can be
prepared from other databases and/or Excel and then pasted to Wintab.
11.1 Cable Terminations and Jumpers Input Form
Press enter after you input or select the cable tag. If there is data recorded for the cable, it will
appear. If no data was saved, the wore colors from the Cable Wire Colors are displayed that
correspond to the cable type’s Chart Name The delete button will remove termination data for the
cable and Update will save whatever is shown. Reset colors is used in the event that the wire
colors are missing or have been incorrectly altered. You may edit the wire colors if required. You
should save the data if you want to print the ticket, otherwise the printed ticket will contain the
data that is stored in the database.
This example is for Style ‘B’ cable termination tickets. Style ‘A’ does not containt Cable Purpose,
From/To sections, Notes and reference drawings.
