Callibrate the Band-Master Slim Banding tool to 100 ±3 lbs. 8 Shield Termination Preparation Process Step 1 Prepare Cable Braid for termination process NOTE: banding must occur on an unfixtured cable assembly. Attaching a band to a firmly clamped cable will affect the applied forces and will also interfere with the cut-off operation. The cut-off operation causes a rotation of the band termination in order to lock the band. Step 2 Push braid forward over banding platform. Milk braid as required to remove slack and insure a snug fit around the shield termination area. © 2014 Glenair, Inc. CAGE Code 06324 Printed in U.S.A.

A. Insert leading edge of band through the buckle slot twice. (Bands must be double-coiled.) B. Tighten the coil until the indicator mark ( ) is approximately .250 inch (6.4mm) shy of the buckle slot (see illustration below). This will ensure sufficient band tail length for insertion into tool. Buckle .250 in. (6.4 mm) Tail Length Indicator Mark ( ) Step 4 Depress the band insertion and release lever (6), and insert the band into the front end opening of the tool, with the loop positioned outward as shown. Squeeze the band insertion and release lever © 2014 Glenair, Inc. CAGE Code 06324 Printed in U.S.A.

Position the band near the rear lip of the banding platform, allowing room for buckle. For eliptical cable entries position the buckle off center of the peak of the circle. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in poor performance. Position the band near the rear lip leaving room for buckle. Position the buckle off-center as shown Not Here Not Here NOTE: Maximum application diameter for Slim bands is 1.25 in (31.75 mm). Step 6 Contract the band with the tensioning lever (2) using short, even strokes, as the band is firmly secured on termination area pull a full stroke to lock handle against the tool body indicating the band is compressed to the proper tension. NOTE: Overly rapid tightening of the band may result in uneven compression. If alignment of the band and shield is unsatisfactory, tension can be relaxed by pulling up tension lever (2) and pushing the tension release lever (8) forward on top of the tool. Make adjustments as necessary and finish tightening with tensioning lever (2) as described above.

Step 9 Trim away excess braid from the forward groove, particularly if a shrink boot is to be applied to the assembly. Groove for shrink boot Step 10 Visually inspect shield termination for problems.
