| MAKING THE SPLICE | GEOKON
4.
Screw each Posi-Lock end onto the Posi-Lock center piece.
5.
Tighten securely by hand but be sure not to strip the threads.
6.
Repeat steps 1-5 for each wire lead.
2.2
ADJUST THE SPLICE POSITION
The center of the tube is the ideal location for the wire splice. This location
ensures the splice will be submerged within the encapsulant when you fill the
tube in Section 3.
Adjust the position as follows:
1.
Slide the cable through the removable cap towards the center of the tube.
You likely will have to adjust the Kellems grip and grommet manually to
accomodate this.
Note:
This step creates slack in the cable inside the tube.
Note:
Be careful not to disrupt the spliced wire leads.
2.
On the fixed end of the tube, pull the cable away from the center, out
through the grommet.
Note:
This step removes the slack created in Step 1.
Note:
Be careful not to disrupt the spliced wire leads.
3.
Repeat Steps 1-2 as needed until the wire splice is in the center of the tube.
2.3
RECONNECT THE FIXED END
1.
Ensure the grommet is firmly and snugly in place on the adapter connector.
2.
Slide the fitting nut over the grommet and screw it onto the adapter
connector.
Note:
Make sure the cable doesn’t move during this step.
