Installing the cable gland
Unless the cable gland is already installed by the manufacturer, follow the procedure below to do
this:
1.
Assemble the rubber sealing in the narrow groove of the bush ring. Make sure that the gap
between the assembly plate and the sealing is tight.
2.
Since the fastening spring is rather stiff, we recommend to use a cone-shaped tool to fit the
metal sock in the bush ring and then to clamp it with the spring bent into a ring shape. Draw the
sock over the groove far enough to be easily fastened with the spring. Make sure that the spring
clamps the sock at 360°.
3.
Roll up the sock as far as the fastening ring and remove the cone-shaped tool if used. Now the
cable installation is easier and the cable will not damage the sock.
4.
Clamp the sock to the shielding of cable with a cable tie.
