For convenience of wiring more than 8 conductors per cable may be awkward to handle.
1.
Use a suitable 21mm spanner to unscrew the
sealing plugs.
2.
Screw in the supplied ½” NPT cable glands
complete with new sealing washers in place
of the plug, ensuring that the retaining nut is
properly seated.
3.
Tighten the gland to 2.5Nm using a suitable
21mm spanner, to ensure a seal. If a different
gland is used, it must be watertight to IP66.
3.
Loosen the gland cap (do not remove it) and
pass the cable in through the gland. When it
has passed through the gland, continue to
push the cable through.
4.
Pull through sufficient cable to reach the
connectors required, leaving a little slack.
5.
Strip the outer sheath as necessary and
remove 5mm of insulation from the
conductors. No tinning or ferrule is required.
Note:
If very stiff or large-diameter cable is
used, it may be convenient to strip the outer
sheath before passing the cable’s conductors
through the gland. However, to ensure a
watertight seal, the cable must have an
undamaged sheath within the gland when it is
tightened.
