Electrical connection Terminal box connection
1. Open the terminal box cover (10) (see Fig. 2).
CAUTION!
Do not allow moisture to enter the terminal box when the cover is open!
2. Remove the cap of the cable gland (9) (see Fig.2).
3. Feed the cable into the terminal box trough the cable gland.
NOTES!
The signal cable shielding can be connected directly to the housing via the EMC
cable gland. A coil spring integrated in the cable gland ensures all-round contact is
made with the bare cable shielding to ensure a good shield connection. This type of
shield connection should be preferred.
To achieve an effective shielding the cable shield must also be connected in the
electrical cabinet! It must be ensured that no potential equalization currents flow via
the shield.
4. Tighten the cable gland and blanking plugs using a spanner.
NOTES!
Prior to delivery cable glands and blanking plugs are tightened finger tight only. To
ensure that the terminal box is reliably sealed tighten all cable glands and blanking
plugs before starting up for the first time.
5. Use a spanner to tighten the cable gland until the cable is securely clamped and properly
sealed.
NOTES!
Prevent lateral pulling forces acting on the cable and plugs so as not to impair the
degree of protection of the cable gland.
6. Strip cable insulation, crimp wire-end ferrules.
Connect the supply voltage and signal cable (see. connection diagrams, chapter 8 ).
7. Close the terminal box cover.
NOTES!
Before closing the terminal box cover check the sealing surface is clean and that the
seal is in a good condition; clean or replace damaged seals as necessary.
CAUTION!
Ensure when closing the terminal box cover that no cable becomes jammed.
