D .2 Tools and Test Equipment Required
An installation tool (Modicon part number ASMBPL001) is available
for installing connectors on the cable. Use of this tool will make the
installation much easier to perform compared to the use of common
hand tools only. It will also ensure positive electrical contact between
connectors and the network cable. Contact Modicon for information
about obtaining this tool.
The following additional tools and test equipment are required to
install and check the cable:
V Wire cutter to cut the cable segments
V Wire stripper or knife to remove the cable jacket
V Flat screwdriver for assembling cable connectors
V Voltohmmeter 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.
