All electrical cables and cords must have appropriate tinned sulphurous copper terminals; wires with-
out terminals must not be connected by means of screwed terminals.To prepare the terminal, remove
a portion of plastic sheath without cutting copper threads; then, press carefully the copper conductor.
Finally, press the copper again to ensure mechanical retention of the protective sheath. (See figure 4).
The effectiveness of the electric installation is only guaranteed by the use of specific tools and by fol-
lowing the instructions corresponding to the different terminals.
TERMINAL PREPARATION PHASES
1. Sheath removal - 2. Copper pressing - 3. Sheath pressing.
It is important to carry out high quality installations especially in the presence of electronic systems
because of the reduced intensity of required currents.The absence of terminals contributes to the pro-
gressive reduction of the installation quality, and to the possible wire cut caused by the vibrations or by
cuts on the lining.
The choice of conductor’s sections and type of terminal must be based on the current maximum con-
duction intensity, eventually calculated on the different resistance values of the different components.
Pay much attention when installing the preheating circuit with electrical resistor (grid-heater) and use
appropriate cables, fitted with proper terminals, as previously indicated (see figure 5).
