figure 1 this instruction sheet covers use and maintenance of shielding enclosure expansion tool kits 58241?1, 58241?2, and 58241?4. these tools are used to expand the cable outlet of shielding enclosures for amplimite* connectors, allowing the enclosure to be inserted easily over cable. read these instructions thoroughly before using the cover extraction tool. reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in section 5, revision summary. figure 2
figure 3 the tools feature a metal plunger and sliding sleeve. there is a pin in the plunger shaft that limits how far the plunger can extend past the end of the sleeve. the plunger shaft is threaded to receive a plastic handle, or to be used with a bench mounting plate. the handle and mounting plate are included in the kit. the threaded end of the plunger is flat on both sides so that it can also be mounted in a vise. figure 2 shows typical bench and vise mountings. figure 3 shows the steps for using the tool. steps are the same whether tool is hand held or mounted. make sure tool and cable diameter are compatible according to the table in figure 1. then: 1. insert extended tool tip and sleeve through cable opening of shielding enclosure. 2. retract tool tip into sleeve. 3. insert cable end into sleeve. hold enclosure in position on cable, and remove tool from the enclosure. 4. carefully slide cable through enclosure so that enough cable protrudes to apply the connector and shielding. instruction sheet 408?9172 covers connector application procedures; and 408?9218 covers shielding. inspect the tool when you receive it and occasionally thereafter. when not in use, store tool in a clean, dry area. if parts are lost or damaged, refer to figure 1 for the correct part numbers, and order replacements from: customer service (38?35) tyco electronics corporation p.o. box 3608 harrisburg, pa 17105?3608 for tool repair service, please contact a tyco electronics representative at 1?800?526?5136. since the previous release of this sheet, the following changes were made: updated document to corporate requirements
