Making Electrical Connections
Approved Omnitracs
Electrical Connectors
The only Omnitracs-approved electrical connectors are crimp butt splices and crimp ring
terminals. Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection
windows. Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred. When butt splicing multiple wires on
one end of a butt splice and a different number of wires on the other end, step-down butt
splices are recommended.
WARNING
Not following proper wiring guidelines and using improper crimps and butt splices
may cause intermittent connections and may result in unexpected truck down time or
system failure.
Wire Stripping
Caution
Use care in stripping wires. Vibration can cause nicked wires to fail. Using wire
cutters, knives, or other tools can damage the conductor wire and/or insulation.
Knowing and following proper wire stripping techniques is essential for performing successful
and safe electrical connections of all system components.
1.
Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 1/4" off the end of an insulated wire.
2.
After stripping the wire, verify that the wire is not severed, nicked, or damaged by the
stripping tool. If the wire has been properly stripped, it is ready to be butt spliced. If the
wire has been damaged, restrip the wire (see
