1.
Using one hand, hold the down-line wire with
the
connector facing away from your body.
2.
With the other hand, pinch the locking clips
together to
release the connector and release
the top lid.
3.
Flip the connector lid open.
4.
Ensure that there are no small stones and
grit inside the
connector.
5.
Align the harness wire with the spade connectors inside the
connector and pull
the wires down. Guiding grooves on either
side of the connector housing will
facilitate the ease of this operation.
6.
When closing the connector, ensure the connector clicks home to
ensure a
secure and proper connection and prevent the connector from
opening
Place connectors away from normal operational movement of vehicles and users. Walking
or driving over these connectors will result in damaged connectors, requiring the
replacement of detonators.
Avoid contamination inside the connector by keeping the connector closed at all times
before final connection to the harness-wire.
Do not remove the gel because it assists with preventing moisture accumulating inside the
connector that will lead to corrosion of the connectors and leakage. In addition, small
stones and grit can cause damage to contacts causing loss of communication to the
detonator.
A connector that is not closed correctly could result in a poor connection which may
cause communication problems with the detonator and ultimate misfire.
