Procedure:
1. Strip 40mm (1.57in) of cable sheath from the end of the connection cable to which the
multipole terminal block is to be attached. Make sure that no pieces of cable are dropped into
the inverter.
2. Trim the cable shield to a length of 15mm (0.59in)
and fold it over the cable sheath.
3. Press the shield clamp onto the cable shield. The
cable shield must be clamped under the shield
clamp as completely as possible.
4. For each connection cable, cut 40mm (1.57in)
from the 120mm (4.71in) cable for shielding.

5. Remove 6mm (0.24in) of cable sheath from both
ends of each piece of cable and strip off 6mm
(0.24in) of the insulation of each conductor.
6. Attach each cable piece for shielding to a shield
clamp. To do so, plug one end of each cable piece
into the ring terminal lug of the shield clamp and
crimp using a crimping tool.
