INSERT CABLES
The first step in setting up the internal enclosure components is to feed all cables through
the enclosure glands. Unscrew the bottom gland cap and remove the plug. It is
recommended to store the plugs in a small bag inside the enclosure so if a cable is
removed, the gland can be restored to its sealed state to maintain the IP rating of the
enclosure.
Figure 2-2: Inserting cables
Feed sensor cables and the solar panel cable through a gland cap and then through the
gland into the enclosure. Replace the gland cap, ensuring it is tightly screwed on to form a
seal.
For LT1-GOES systems, the fitted gland on the SMA to N cable for the satellite antenna and
the SMA to SMA jack cable (if using an externally mounted GPS antenna) replaces the
enclosure gland. Remove an enclosure gland by unscrewing the internal nut (the 5/8”
wrench may be required to initially loosen the nut). Remove the nut on the cable’s gland
and feed the cable and gland fitting through the bottom of the enclosure. Replace and
tighten the nut.
