Installing cable fittings
OmniTrax Product Guide Page 129
5. Refer to Figure 102: to prepare the sensor cables for connector installation.
Figure 101: Offsetting SC1 cables
Note
Figure 102: provides a 1:1 scale for stripping the sensor cables. Follow
the cable strip dimensions exactly, as the dimensions are critical to
connector installation.
Note When removing the black jacket, make the lengthwise score above the
drain braid. Do NOT cut into or through the drain braid.
Use pliers to peel back and remove the black jacket.
If you have difficulty removing the black jacket, try warming the jacket
with a few quick passes of a lighter. Heat the jacket only until it feels
warm to the touch, then peel the black jacket from the cable. Excessive
heat will damage the cable.
