Attach the Seal Block

The seal block contains the contacts that pierce the cable. Contact
occurs when you attach the seal block to the cable base. The seal
block is designed to attach to the base in only one direction.

To install the seal block:

1. Position the seal block over the cable base.

a. Match the arrows on the bottom of the base and seal block.

b. Align the four captive screws in the seal block with the

receptacles in the base.

2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 8 to10 inch-pounds to

secure the module to the base. To assure that the cable is
pierced evenly, tighten each screw a little at a time.

ATTENTION

!

The seal block has extremely sharp contacts. Do not
press against them with your fingers. You may be
injured.

Be certain to properly align the seal block when you
attach it to the base. This will maintain the integrity
of the sealed base. You can only pierce the cable
once. Once pierced, the seal block must not be
removed. This will ensure the inner conductors are
not exposed.

IMPORTANT

There are 3 seat lines on the sides of the seal block,
under the captive screws. As the screws are
tightened these lines meet the cable base. At this
point the seal block is fully seated

Only one attempt to pierce the
cable is allowed.
