Troubleshooting
Helawrap is difficult to slide onto cables.
Ensure the cables are loosely bundled initially. Use the applicator tool to open the Helawrap profile wider as you slide it over the cables. Ensure the cables are not too bulky for the 25mm diameter.
Cables are falling out of the Helawrap.
Check that the Helawrap is fully engaged around the cables. Ensure the cables are consistently bundled. If branching, make sure the inserted cables are properly seated within the spiral.
Applicator tool is not working effectively.
Ensure the tool is inserted correctly into the Helawrap profile. Check the tool for any damage or debris that might be obstructing its function. Try reapplying the tool firmly.
Need a longer cable run than 2m.
You can join two or more lengths of Helawrap together. Overlap the ends slightly and use zip ties or tape to secure them, or carefully insert the end of one wrap into the start of the next if the profile allows.
