- With armored cable, where the shield consists of braid, prepare the
cable as described below, but do not apply heat shrink. Proceed to
Step 2.
2. Remove the cover from the core processor.
3. Slide the gland nut and the clamping insert over the cable.
4. For connection at the core processor housing, prepare shielded cable
as follows (for armored cable, omit steps d, e, f, and g):
a. Strip 4 1/2 inches (114 mm) of cable jacket.
b. Remove the clear wrap that is inside the cable jacket, and remove
the filler material between the wires.
c. Remove the foil shield that is around the insulated wires, leaving
3/4 inch (19 mm) of foil or braid and drain wires exposed, and
separate the wires.
d. Wrap the shield drain wire(s) around the exposed foil twice. Cut off
the excess wire.
e. Place the EMI-shielded heat shrink over the exposed shield drain
wire(s). The tubing should completely cover the drain wires.
f. Without burning the cable, apply heat (250 °F or 120 °C) to shrink
the tubing.
