INSTALLATION GUIDANCE NOTES

1. In accordance with NEC requirements, connectors with NPT and Metric entry threads are suitable for both Divisions and Zones.

2. In accordance with CEC requirements, connectors with NPT threads are suitable for both Divisions and Zones. Connectors with Metric threads are
only suitable for Zones unless fitted with an approved Metric to NPT thread conversion adaptor.

3. For IEC and/or ATEX installations:

- All tapes/shields/foils must be removed and any twisted pairs/triples unwound to form individual conductors.

- Drain Wires: Pass sleeving/heat shrink tube over the drain, making sure it is positioned within the resin Tube/Resin Dam area.
If required, shrink the tube by applying heat, then treat the drain wire as a conductor.

4. For NEC Class 1 Div 1 and Zone 1 see article 501.15 of the NEC.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE

• The glands shall only be fitted to enclosures where temperatures, at the point of mounting, is below 85°C.

• The cable shall be effectively clamped as close as possible to the gland.

• When used for Ex e or Ex ta applications, the user shall provide a suitable interface seal between the gland and associated enclosure to maintain
the level of ingress protection of the enclosure they are fitted to.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION

1. Disasemble the connector by unscrewing the entry item (3) from the rest of the connector
and then unscrewing the spacer nut (8) from the entry component.

12109

3. Slide the outer nut assembly (9,10,11,12) down the cable. Pass the space nut (8) and tube
spacer (6) with nylon end stop (7) over the conductors until the end stop engages the end of the
cable armour. (If the nylon end stop will not pass over the conductors, then it should be discarded
as it is not needed.)

At this stage it should be possible to acces the tube spacer nut (8). If this is not possible, trim the
outer jacket up to the “L” +10% until access is possible.

4. Wearing the protective gloves supplied, thoroughly mix the two-part compound until the colour is
uniform. (The compound should not be mixed or applied at temperatures below 50°F/10°C.)

Seperate the cores of the conductor and pack the compound between and around the conductors
as shown below:

5. Bring the cores together again and pack

more compound around them to a length
and diameter sufficient to fill the
compound tube, ending in a taper.

Remove and discard the resin dam (5). (This part is only needed when the connector is used
with the RapidEx resin system.)

2. Strip back the jacket and armour to suit the equipment. Using the armor measure guide, expose
the armor further by stripping the cable jacket to distance “L”.

Note: For instrumentation cable utilising shielded cable or industrial / overall drain wires see
installation guidance notes on the back page.

6. Pass the compound tube (2) over the conductors until the stepped end is fully located with the
tube spacer (6). Pack more compound into place until the compound tube is fully filled.

Remove surplus compound

Ensure compound does
not overlap the tube

7. Reinstall the cable assembly into the Entry Item (3) and tighten the Spacer Nut (8), finger-tight.
Leave for the compound to cure.

8. Once the compound has cured, loosen the Tube Spacer Nut from the Entry Component. Screw
the Entry Component into the enclosure. Retighten the Tube Spacer Nut when the entry component
is fully tightened into the enclosure.

NOTE: When the outer
jacket is at its
maximum, distance “L”
may have to be
increased by up to 10%.

9. Finally, holding the cable central in the gland, tighten the Outer Nut to compress the Grounding
Spring to secure the armor and the seal to engage the cable jacket. Do not over tighten the
Outer Nut. The Entry Component and Outer Nut do not have to close face to face.

L = Distance from
groove to rear of nut.
