You may use the gland provided by NI or your own gland. Check the
MON-10467
Specifications
on
for the required gland specifications.
Note
If you are using an alternative gland or fitting, ensure that it is rated for
Type 3 or greater and install according to the manufacturer's instructions
a)
Insert the PG16 gland through the hole on the enclosure.
b)
Install the backing nut on the PG16 gland and tighten the nut with a 30 mm socket or
wrench to a torque of 5 N · m (44.2 lb · in.) while holding the gland body with a
27 mm deep socket.
3.
Terminate any metal external cable braid or armor prior to entering the gland so that it
does not pass through the gland grommet.
4.
Insert the cable through the gland.
The PG16 gland comes with a 5 mm to 9 mm grommet.
5.
Open the AC power input spring terminals by inserting a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver
and pressing the lever.
6.
Connect the line, neutral, and protective earth ground connections by inserting wires into
the spring terminals on the AC power input terminals. Refer to the pinout below.
The AC power input terminals work with wiring up to 12 AWG. Use wiring that meets
your applicable electrical codes. You do not need to use ferrules.

7.
Ensure that the protective earth wire is connected to the green/yellow terminal and has
more slack than the power wires so that the grounding terminal always disconnects last.
8.
Tighten the PG16 dome nut with a 24 mm socket or wrench to a torque of 3.33 N · m
(29.5 lb · in.) to provide strain relief and weather resistance for the cables.
