11. Inspect the cable at the TNC connector end for any loose cable braids. Loose braids may
cause voids in the heat-shrink tubing.
12. Place the heat-shrink tubing with heat-active glue (provided in the IP67 Tap and Cable
Assembly Kit) over the TNC connector body and cable.
Apply Heat-shrink Tubing
1. Follow these guidelines when heating the tubing:
a. Place the tubing against the shoulder of the TNC connector.
b. Allow the heat gun to come to a temperature of between 110 and 160 degrees Celsius.
c. Hold the cable assembly approximately 2 inches away from the heat exhaust area of
the heat gun while shrinking the tubing.
d. Continuously rotate the cable assembly around the heat exhaust area of the heat gun.
The entire process should take about 4 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Use only the ACUM heat-shrink tubing provided in the kit. Do not
substitute other types of heat-shrink tubing. Substitutions may cause a
loss of the IP67 rating.
ATTENTION
Be careful when using heat guns. High temperatures can lead to burns,
risk of fire, or other property damage.
