• 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.
• Pull through sufficient cable to reach the
connectors required, leaving a little slack.
• 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.
• Prepare the cable screen(s) by twisting a suitable
length. The twisted length(s) shall ideally be
sleeved to prevent shorting.
• Secure the end of the cable screen to the Faston
receptacles on the spade connectors provided.
• Push the bared conductor into the square hole
in the connector. When the conductor is fully
inserted, tighten the retaining screw to secure
it in place.
Note: If multi-strand wire is used, it must be
terminated with a crimp suitable for the wire
diameter.
• When all conductors are in position replace the
module cover.
• Using a 21mm spanner tighten the gland cap to
2.5Nm to ensure a watertight seal. Alternatively,
tighten the gland by hand until it is finger-tight
and use a spanner to tighten it further by one-
half a turn.
Ensure that unused openings on
the module are sealed using the
blanking plugs provided. Failure
to do so will result in loss of
ingress protection.
Do not strap the control and mains power cables together.
