B ASSEMBLY HEAT SHRINK TUBING
The shrink tubing serves as an optional protective device for a label applied to the cable by a third person.
- Shrinking of the shrink tubing is not necessary for the operation of the cable
- Shrinking of the heat shrinkable tubing is done at your own risk. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the cable caused by processing the shrink tubing.
- Shrinking of the shrink tubing with open flame and hot air devices without temperature adjustment is not permitted.
- Permissible temperature range for shrinking is 70°C to 90°C.
- The cable must be free of tension during shrinking.
