WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never use acid core solder. When soldering insure no
excess solder runs down on the contact surface - Solder
on the contact surface will not allow the contacts to mate
properly causing them to burn up.
Each wire should be stripped back 7/8 of an inch and
inserted into one of the contacts in the plug kit. You will
then either need to solder them together using a good
grade of resin core solder or they can be crimped with an
appropriate compression crimper or both.
Approved Crimping tools are:
1. Anderson Power Products
2. ETC Model HHS hydraulic crimper
3. ITT Blackburn NO. 1640
4. T&B (Thomas & Betts) #TBM5
To complete the assembly of the disconnect plug refer to
the instruction sheet in the plug kit.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DURING THE NEXT STEP, THE LOAD DISCONNECT PLUG
SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED INTO ITS RECEPTACLE. ALSO,
MAKE SURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT TO WHICH THE
PLUG LEADS (CABLES) ARE BEING CONNECTED IS NOT
ENERGIZED (LIVE).
Strip the insulation off the free end of each of the plug leads
(cables), and connect them to the load transfer switch (or
directly to the load).
