Crimping the end pieces
2.5
Using the crimping tool, crimp the end pieces at both ends and check they are secure.
Squeeze pliers firmly together.
Notice:
For contact strips ENT-R and ENT-20, end pieces ENEH-... must be crimped on with ES-PRESS
pliers (ClickLine, CoverLine and StandardLine).
For contact strips ENT-7 and ENT-S, use ENES-... end pieces and ESS-PRESS (S-Line) pliers.
Fitting the end pieces
2.4
Measure off and mark a point exactly 10 mm from each end of the contact strip.
Then slide on the end pieces up to the marks (tolerance ±1 mm).
Testing the contact strip
2.6
Warning: The contact strip must be tested with an ohmmeter to ensure
correct functioning BEFORE it is fitted in the rubber profile!
In the case of two-ended cables, test both ends!
Feeding in the contact strip
2.7
When feeding the contact strip into the rubber profile, no lubricants such as water, talc, oils,
greases or silicone spray, should be used.
Otherwise, the sealing compound applied later on will not bond with the rubber profile and seal
the switching chamber.
Notice:
If the rubber profile is longer than 3 m, it is advisable to pass a length of string through
the profile first using compressed air. Tie the string to the cable end of the contact strip and
then pull carefully the strip through. A stiff piece of wire is also a suitable aid. Be careful not to
damage the switching chamber when feeding the contact strip through!
Warning: Before sealing, check the functionality (contact-making) of the
safety edge again using an ohmmeter! In the case of two-ended cables,
test both ends!
