NOTICE
To ensure the proper operation, the socket insert and
the contacts may not be under tension.
X
Make sure that the specified bending ra-
dius is observed when laying the cables:
8 x cable diameter = 145 mm
X
Thread tension screw (G) and strain relief (F) on the
open end of the assembled connector cable.
X
Lead the connector cable from the outside
through the mounting hole (A) (Ø 30 mm) in the
vehicle wall (B) to the inside.
X
Thread supporting ring (E), spring washer (D) and
nut (C) from the inside on the connector cable and
attach to the thread of the strain relief (F).
X
Screw nut (C) only slightly on the thread of the

Test
X
Check that all of the installed parts are in the cor-
rect position.
X
Make sure that there are no undue tensile, pres-
sure, flexing and torsion loads on the connection
cables.

All contacts must be aligned, i.e. they must not be
crooked.
X
Make sure the strain relief fits properly.
Commissioning
DANGER
In the case of a contact of the traction
current line with the vehicle, the cable
plug with connector cable may be high-
ly energised. Deadly hazard!
X
Before commissioning the ca-
ble plug with connector cable,
a high voltage test must be carried
out.
X
Before commissioning the plug connection, it
must be inspected in accordance with EN 50215.
5.9 Storage of Connector Cables
When storing double ended connector cables in the
carriages or driver’s cabins, make sure the bending ra-
dius (based on the cable type) is observed and that the
cable is protected against shocks and dirt.
