Complete the following steps connect signals to the MON-10467.
1.
Thread the M16 glands into the device enclosure.
2.
Tighten the gland bodies to a torque of 3.16 N · m (28 lb · in.).
3.
Install backing nuts onto the M16 glands and tighten to a torque of 2.5 N · m
(22.1 lb · in.).
4.
Terminate any external metal cable braid or armor prior to entering the gland so that it
does not pass through the gland grommet.
5.
Insert the signal cables through the glands using the appropriately sized grommets for
your cables.
Each M16 gland comes with a pre-installed gray 2 mm to 6 mm grommet and an
additional black 4 mm to 8 mm grommet. For optimum sealing and strain relief, only use
wiring with a round, circular, and smooth exterior cable jacket.
6.
Open the spring terminal by inserting a 2.5 mm flat-blade screwdriver and pressing the
lever.
Tip
Try using a prying motion to move the lever as shown below if you are
having difficulty. You can also activate multiple terminals simultaneously by
using multiple screwdrivers or a multi-prong actuation tool.

7.
Insert the wires into the spring terminal.
Notice
NI recommends using ferrules with a barrel length of 6 mm to help
with inspecting proper insertion and to prevent stray strands from contacting
adjacent connections. NI also recommends actuating multiple terminal springs
simultaneously if you are using stiff wires.
8.
Fill any unused gland openings with plugs rated for Type 3 or greater ingress protection.
9.
Tighten the M16 dome nuts to a torque of 2.5 N · m (22.1 lb · in.) to provide strain relief
and weather resistance for the cables.
