Two earth points of connection, one internal
and one external, are foreseen on the base
ICON 2000 units enclosure for the ground
cables connection�
iMpOrTAnT
To prevent any water infiltration through the line
cable conduits, be sure the cable glands used
have the minimum degree of protection required
by the plant and specified on the actuator label.
To guarantee that the weatherproof and
explosion-proof characteristics are respected,
screw the cable gland or the external ATEX
certified apparatus tightly (at least 5 turns) and
block them with a thread sealant�
iMpOrTAnT
The cables and cable glands MUST be selected
considering the maximum temperature of the
cable indicated on the label fixed to the base

Special attention must do to these following
points:
• Before the assembly the joint surfaces must
