MORE PAD INDOOR
•
Remove a small portion of polymer in the
corner next to the braid, to make it easier to
position the crimp terminal so that it remains in
line with the braid of the upright embedded in
the polymer.
•
If necessary, flatten the copper strands of the
polymer-bonded cord in order to reduce their
thickness and facilitate bundling between the
crimp clamp and the braid itself.
•
Now crimp the terminal as shown in the figure in
several places, checking that it is perfectly flat
and mechanically tight.
•
Carry out the same operation on the other
upright using a different coloured cord (for the
extra-low voltage line, use red and black), so
that the two uprights and their polarities can be
easily distinguished;
•
Mark the wire pair with an identification number
so that it can be identified within the junction
and junction box.
•
Before continuing with the electrical wiring,
check the electrical resistance between the
terminals
•
Using a tester, the resistance between the
terminals should be 0 ohms, which is a sign of
perfect electrical wiring.
The crimp terminal has an eyelet sized to accommodate a 2.5 mm2 cross-
section cord. Always prefer parallel connection (or series connection,
to connect several pieces of PAD up to a maximum length of 7 metres)
avoiding the use of multiple connections from the same pole (in and out
from the same terminal).
