2.
Strip off the outer jacket of the flexible cord and remove any
jute, paper or other fillers. Use the following to help determine
how much jacket to remove:
▪
In the finished assembly, the outer jacket should protrude
inside the Raritan product.
▪
The wires will have ring terminals crimped onto them.
▪
In the finished assembly, the wires should have some slack
and not be taught.
▪
In the finished assembly, if the flexible cord slips in the
cable gland placing a strain on the cord’s wires, the ground
wire must be the last wire to take the strain.
3.
Crimp an insulated ring terminal onto each wire. A
non-insulated ring terminal may be used for the ground wire.
Inspect each crimp to insure it is secure and verify no exposed
wire protrudes from the rear of an insulated ring terminal.
4.
Loosen the cable gland nut and push the flexible cord assembly
through the gland.
Temporarily hand tighten the gland nut and verify the cord
cannot be twisted or pushed or pulled in the gland. Do not
proceed if hand tightening results in a loose cord. In some
models, especially in-
line monitors, the flexible cord’s
diameter may be too small for the cable gland. A sealing ring
for smaller diameter line cords may have been included with
the Raritan product, or can be requested from Raritan, to
reduce the inside diameter of the cable gland.
5.
Fasten the ring terminal of the green (or green/yellow) ground
wire to the chassis’s threaded ground stud in this order:
a.
Place the lock washer on the stud.
b.
Place the ground wire ring terminal on the stud.
c.
Place the nut on the stud and tighten with a torque wrench.
The appropriate torque settings vary according to the nut
size.

Check the ground wire connection. It should be secure and
not move or rotate.
6.
Fasten the ring terminals of all remaining wires to the terminal
block and tighten each using a torque screwdriver. The
appropriate torque settings vary according to the screw size.

Make sure each ring terminal is firmly fastened and cannot be
twisted by hand. Use the following guidelines to help terminal
block wiring.
▪
In single-phase Raritan products with world-wide ratings,
the terminals are labeled L1 and L2. L1 is the phase wire. L2
is either the neutral (120/230V installations) or another
phase wire (208V installations).
