Kneading
Put on the supplied protective gloves and mix both components of the two-part expoxy
compound until it is pliable and of an even color (minimum mixing temperature 10°C /
50°F). Untwist the cable cores and apply the compound around them over a length of 40
mm so that there is compound around each individual cable core (zigzag). Now put the
compound tube over the cable and pass the compound tube over the conductors until the
stepped end is fully located with the tube spacer. Remove surplus compound and make
sure that it does not overlap the tube. If required, add more compound into place until the
compound tube is fully filled.

The compound should be flush to the tube. Please let everything dry for at least 24 h and
allow the compound to harden. After the drying period, please check that all cables are
tightly connected with the compound and screw on the screw connection 2 until it comes
to an effective stop.
