Troubleshooting
Shield clamp does not fit the cable shield.
Verify the cable shield's outer diameter. The 791-117 is designed for diameters between 10mm and 17mm. If outside this range, a different clamp size may be required.
Poor grounding performance.
Ensure the clamp is securely fastened to both the cable shield and the grounding point. Check for any oxidation or debris on contact surfaces and clean if necessary. Confirm the grounding point itself is properly connected.
Clamp feels loose after installation.
Re-evaluate the installation process. Ensure the clamp is correctly seated and that the terminal block or grounding point it connects to is stable and properly secured.
