		True	False
1.	Any crimping tool(s) may be used to assemble "Plug-n-Play" connectors.
2.	Any cable that is listed by UL and NEC as acceptable for PV installations is suitable for use with the "Plug-n-Play" connector system.
3.	"Plug-n-Play" connectors are a one size fits all connector; where one insulator will fit all standard PV cable sizes.
4.	There is a specified amount exposed conductor that needs to be observed when stripping the insulation from the cable in preparation for crimping the connector.
5.	The PV-CZL crimping tool does not have a locator to align the crimping dies with the crimping sleeve of the connector.
6.	The insulator should be slipped onto the cabling before crimping the connector.
7.	The same insulator assembly tool collar is used in the assembly tool for both pin and socket connectors, simply by reversing its orientation.
8.	The same basic method is used for positioning the insulator onto the connector by all of the Multi-Contact insulator assembly tools.
9.	The "DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD" label is affixed to the cable by aligning the two "*" along the cable, then folding the label over the cable and aligning the "".
10.	Adjusting the PV-CZL crimp tool to its highest selector setting will properly crimp all wire sizes.
11.	Always make sure that you have chosen a clean, level, hazard-free environment to assemble cables.
12.	When you have properly crimped the connector to the conductor you should be able to see conductor stranding through the sight hole and have less than 1mm of exposed conductor just outside of the connector's crimp sleeve.
13.	When installed correctly, the insulator will be flush with the end of the connector.
14.	When the finished pin and socket connectors are mated together properly, there should be no gap between the two insulators.
15.	Ethyl-alcohol may be used to facilitate installation of the insulator onto the connector.
16.	It is important to keep dirt and oil off the adhesive when affixing the "Do Not Disconnect Under Load" labels to the cable.
17.	It is important to route the finished cable assemblies in such a manner as to prevent sharp bending radii, crossed cables and exposure to direct sunlight.
18.	To determine the proper insulator size; one must measure the outer diameter of the cable insulation and match this to the insulator size.
