A01 CU-FLEX® Conductor Insulated Bootlace

Installation Guide

1.

2.

3.

4.

Select a suitable size of A01 Insulated Bootlace/ Ferrule by verifying that the conductor size marking on the bag label and cable match. Mark stripping length on cable. The stripping length needs to be slightly more than the bootlace barrel.

Carefully insert the conductor into the bootlace making sure all strands are contained within the barrel. Do not twist the conductor. Check whether the conductor is fully inserted into the barrel.

6. Correct Crimp Position

Check crimping result. Apply suitable CU-FLEX® G01 Heatshrink to complete the crimping. The heatshrink should cover the entire Insulation.

Center of Barrel

7.

Carefully cut and strip outer layers of the cable (sheathing, insulation, fleece tape). Be very carefulnot to nick or cut any strands of the conductor. Adjust the stripping tool so that it cuts close to the conductor but leaves a small amount of insulation to tear away by hand. This will help protect the fine wires during the stripping process.

Select a suitable crimping tool specified on the A01 Selection Table. A ratchet crimping tool is preferable as the handles will remain locked until a full crimp cycle is completed preventing partial crimps.

It is optimal to make the crimp on the center of the barrel, ensuring that the crimped face is not too close to the bootlace insulation or barrel end.

When the crimp face of the tool is longer than the barrel, make to keep a gap between the insulation and the crimped face.

Insert the copper barrel of the ferrule into the appro-priate crimping section in the tool indicated by the size markings on the tool. Squeeze the handles together until the opposing faces are pressed togeth-er (if a ratchet crimping tool is used - until the ratchet releases).
