3. Select an equipment connector as the second device.

If the equipment connector had already been usedor if no connection

point had been definedthe connection points would be displayed as red.

4. The harness connector is now aligned properly to theequipment connector.

This is the same process used to place connectors into equipment ordisconnect panels.

Apply Clocking Values toApply Clocking Values to BackshellsBackshells

y The method of applying clocking to the backshells is by usingBOEBE5BSC(Backshell Clocker) to create angle constraints

between the backshell and connector. This section describesusing Backshell clocker for creating the clocking anglesconstraints on the backshells

y When electrically connecting the backshell to the connectorthe backshell must be selected first so that the Backshell

Clocker tool will calculate the clocking angle correctly.y BSC-backshell Clocker (VER 2.4.0)

y Every 1 hr is equal to 30 angle of clocking

UsingBackshellClocker

BOEBE5BSC (Backshell Clocker) is an application that must be run in CATIA.

BSC is used to record the clocking orientation of backshells to matingconnectors.

y BSC creates angle constraints between the backshell and connector and records the clocking

data into the in the properties windows description field of a backshell.

Steps To Use Backshell Clocker1. Activate the GBN in the specification tree.

2. Select the Backshell clocker function.

3. Select a Back Shell to be clocked in BSC dialog.
