Chapter 3: Installation
Figure 3-35. Cabled DC Power Connector and Bottom Section of Shell.
NOTE: The top and bottom sections of the shell differ. The top section (recall Figure 3-30) has flanges to fit against the bottom
section’s latches (recall Figure 3-31).
b. Insert the end of a cable-tie through one of the holes in the bottom of the connector shell (Figure 3-36).
NOTE: The cable lock (the hollow block) can be above the lower shell (as shown) or below the lower shell.
Figure 3-36. Cable-Tie through Bottom of DC Power Connector Shell.
c. Pull the cable-tie across the cables and through the other hole in the shell bottom.
d. Put the end of the cable-tie through its lock and pull the cable-tie snug around the cables.
NOTE: The lock is designed so that the cable may move in only one direction. If you need to remove the cable, you will have to
cut the cable.
e. If you wish, you may trim the end of the cable-tie to be flush with the lock.
CAUTION: If you trim the cable-tie, trim it flush with the lock. Do not leave a few millimeters of the cable-tie extending past the
lock. It is better to leave the cable-tie untrimmed than to cut it non-flush.
f. With the plug seated into the bottom section, place the top section of the shell onto the bottom section. Do not yet snap them
into place. Figure 3-37 shows how the top and bottom sections fit together around the DC power plug.
