INSTALLATION
These cables will be installed according to the wiring regulations and installation
standards in operation.
The use of these cables will be limited to short lenghts when buried in soil non-saturated
with water.
Laying temperature : in case of laying between 0 and -10oC, it is advised to warm up
again the cables in a hot room 48 hours minimum before installation.
