ITEMS AND TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY:
• (1) Razor Cutting Blade • (1 or 2) Copper Shim(s)*† • (1) Flat Head Screw Driver • (1) Hex Head Socket Set Screw(s)*†
• (1) Allen Wrench • (1) Com-a-Long tool • (1) Pliers • (1) Strain Relief Wire*†
• (1) Can of Leviton Spray Lube • (1) Contact & Sleeve (Same Sex)* • (1) Wire Cutter • (1) Nylon Assembly Screw*
* Provided † Depending on model
TO ASSEMBLE:
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Hold the cable end of the sleeve to your power cable to establish an idea of how much of the sleeve to cut off taking into account the sleeve thickness. Cut off the cable end of the sleeve to match the cable diameter. The first section fits
cable outside diameter of .30". The second section fits cable outside diameter of .38". The third section fits cable outside diameter of .50".
Example: For .41" to .50" diameter cable, cut below the .50" line of the sleeve for your initial cut. If the hole is too small, take off a little more until you have a good snug fit over the cable.
3. Spray Leviton Silicone Spray Lube into the cable end of sleeve and onto the cable (you can also use liquid soap or cable pulling compound).
NOTE: DO NOT coat contact or inside diameter of sleeve where contact fits, as this may cause the contact to slip within sleeve.
4. Slide the sleeve over the cable as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
5. For Set Screw devices strip approximately 5/8" of jacket off cable (refer to Figure 1). Wrap copper shim stock around the exposed bare conductors.
For cable size #8 or #6 use 2 pieces of 5/8" x 1-1/4" shims. Use a set screw 5/16-24 x 1/4" long.
For cable size #4 or #2 use 1 piece of 5/8" x 1-1/4" shim. Use a set screw 5/16-24 x 5/16" long.
For Crimp devices strip approximately 1-1/8" of jacket off cable (refer to Figure 2).
6. Wrap the center of the strain relief wire around the cable jacket 1/4" from the end of the jacket and tighten by twisting with pliers.
7. Bend the wire so that it rests flat against the shim making sure to squeeze the twisted portion tightly against the cable jacket to ensure that it will clear the inside of the sleeve. Cut the ends of the starin relief wire flush with the front end of
the shim away from the cable jacket.
8A. For Set Screw devices (refer to Figure 1): Insert the exposed cable all the way into the contact with the stripped copper conductor between the strain relief wire and the hex socket set screw hole.
Using an Allen wrench, tighten the 5/16-24 set screw to 50 in.-lbs. of torque, ensuring that it is firmly secure.
8B. For Crimp devices (refer to Figure 2): Insert the exposed cable and strain relief wire all the way into the contact.
Crimp the copper tube using a Burndy Type 750 crimp tool with the following:
#8 wire crimp tube: U8CRT die
#4, #6 wire crimp tube: U3CD-1 die Y34PL
9. For devices with assembly screw: Push the sleeve over the contact ensuring that the threaded assembly screw port in the contact is aligned with the mounting screw hole in the sleeve.
Insert the assembly screw and tighten to 10 to 12 in/lbs of torque using a flat head screwdriver. Be careful not to over torque this screw.
NOTE: Use a 15 series Com-a-Long tool to push contact into sleeve, if necessary.
10A. For Set Screw devices: To disassemble, reverse the process and remove contact (refer to Step 8A).
10B. For Crimp devices: To disassemble, reverse the process and remove contact by cutting off (refer to Step 8B).
