Emerson MICRO MOTION 1700 - Manual (Page 37)

Preparing shielded or armored cable Figure 4-4:
1. Without cutting the shield, strip 9 inches (225 mm) of
cable jacket.
2. Strip 8 ½ inches (215 mm) of braided shield, so ½
inch (10 mm) of shield remains exposed.
3. Remove the foil shield that is between the braided
shield and inner jacket.
4. Strip 4 inches (100 mm) of inner jacket.
5. Remove the clear wrap and filler material.
6. Remove the foil that is around the insulated wires and
separate them.
7. Identify the drain wires in the cable and bring them
together. Fan the other wires to the outside of the
cable. Twist the drain wires together.
8. Slide the 3-inch (75 mm) long heat-shrink tubing over
the drain wires. Push the tubing as close as possible to
the inner jacket.
9. Slide the 1 ½ inch (40 mm) long heat-shrink tubing
over the cable jacket. The tubing should completely
cover all portions of the drain wires that remain
exposed next to the cable jacket.
9. Without burning the cable, apply heat to shrink all
tubing. Recommended temperature is 250 °F (121
°C).
1. Without cutting the shield, strip 7 inches (175 mm)
of outer jacket.
2. Strip 6 ½ inches (165 mm) of braided shield, so ½
inch (10 mm) of shield remains exposed.
3. Remove the foil shield that is between the braided
shield and inner jacket.
4. Strip 4 ½ inches (115 mm) of inner jacket.
5. Remove the clear wrap and filler material.
6. Remove the foil that is around the insulated wires
and separate them.
7. Identify the drain wires in the cable. Clip each drain
wire as close as possible to the cable jacket.
10. Allow the cable to cool, then strip ¼ inch (5 mm) of
insulation from each wire.
8. Slide the 1 ½ inch (40 mm) long heat-shrink tubing
over the cable jacket. The tubing should completely
cover the clipped ends of the drain wires.
