To ensure your Macire 1 mm 3 Core Flex Cable performs well and lasts long:

• ✔️ Avoid Sharp Bends or Kinks – Maintain smooth curves to prevent conductor damage.

• ✔️ Keep Away from Heat Sources – PVC sheath can degrade near steps heaters, boilers or direct sunlight.

• ✔️ Store in Dry & Cool Conditions – Prior to installation keep the roll away from damp or corrosive environments.

• ✔️ Inspect the Insulation Periodically – Look for cuts, abrasions, or discoloration and rectify promptly.

• ✔️ Secure Cable Runs Properly – Use clips, trunking or conduit to protect from mechanical damage.

• ✔️ Use Within its Load Capacity – Over-loading will cause overheating and shorten lifespan.

???? DIY Installation Guide

1. ???? Measure required length, adding ~10-15 % for slack and possible future adjustments.

2. ✂️ Cut the cable from the roll using a proper insulated cutter; avoid damaging the sheath.

3. ???? Strip the outer PVC sheath carefully, exposing the three insulated cores.

4. ????️ Strip each core to appropriate length (brown = live, blue = neutral, green/yellow = earth) and ensure no copper strands are nicked.

5. ???? Route the cable through trunking or conduit as required, securing it at regular intervals (e.g., every 300-400 mm) when exposed.

6. ???? Terminate at switches, fixtures or sockets following correct wiring colour-codes and wiring regulations.

7. ✅ Perform continuity and insulation resistance tests before energising the circuit.

8. ???? After installation, make sure the cable is not under mechanical strain or subject to pinch points.
