Cutting the cable

Once the cable has been fully routed, if desired, any excess cable can be cut off and the wires prepared for connection to the gateway.

  1. Cut the existing cable.

    Ensure sufficient length remains to easily make the connections and remove again if necessary.

  2. Remove 30 mm (1.18 in) of the cable insulation/sheath.
  3. Remove 7 mm (0.28 in) of insulation from each wire.
  4. Cut the supplied heat shrink tube to an appropriate size (e.g.: 23 mm (0.91 in)), and push all the way along the ground wire (the wire which has no insulation).
  5. Re-tin each wire.
