5.2 Tools and Test Equipment Required
The following tools and test equipment are required to install and
check the network components:
V Wire cutter to cut the cable segments
V Wire stripper or knife to remove the cable jacket
V Flat screwdriver for connecting the drop cable ground lugs
V Insertion tool for pressing wires into the tap terminals. The tool is
available from AMP Incorporated, P.O. Box 3608, Harrisburg, PA
171053608 USA (part number 552714-3), or your local Modicon
product representative (part number 043509383).
V Ohmmeter for checking the cable continuity.
If possible, avoid the use of cable pulling tools by laying the cable
directly into overhead troughs or raceways. This will minimize
potential stretching or cutting damage. If a pulling tool is used, follow
the manufacturer’s guidelines and avoid excessive force in pulling the
cable.
