Important note: Heat shrink technique for S-40 kits Steps 18 and 21
Heat gun power for optimal shrinking time - 3000 W or greater is recommended.
Lower power heat guns may work, but may require more time.
Recommended heat gun temperature: 600-650°C
1. Set heat gun at recommended temperature, or as close as possible, and
maximum air flow.
2. Starting in the centre, hold heat gun in one position over the translucent heat
shrink tubing until it turns clear (+/– 1 min). Then slowly move the heat gun
around all sides until the heat shrink turns clear in this segment.
3. Slowly move to an adjacent translucent position on one half of the splice and
repeat for this next segment.
4. Slowly continue along the length of heat shrink, rotating the heat gun at each
segment until both halves are complete. Installation can take several minutes per
piece of heat shrink tubing.
5. Keep heat gun as close as possible to heat shrink (5 mm) but do not allow it to
touch cable or heat shrink (to avoid burning and damaging materials).
