1) Screw the ameproof packing adapter into the
terminal box until the O-ring touches the wiring
port (at least 6 full turns), and rmly tighten the
lock nut.
2) Insert the cable through the union cover, the
union coupling, the clamp nut, the clamp ring,
the gland, the washer, the rubber packing, and
the packing box, in that order.
3) Insert the end of the cable into the terminal box.
4) Tighten the union cover to grip the cable.
When tightening the union cover, tighten
approximately one turn past the point where the
cable will no longer move up and down.
IMPORTANT
Proper tightening is important. If it is too tight, a
circuit break in the cable may occur; if not tight
enough, the ameproof effectiveness will be
compromised.
5) Fasten the cable by tightening the clamp nut.
6) Tighten the lock nut on the union cover.
7) Connect the cable wires to each terminal.

 Flameproof metal conduit wiring
• A seal tting must be installed near the
terminal box connection port for a sealed
construction.
• Apply a non-hardening sealant to the
threads of the terminal box connection port,
exible metal conduit and seal tting for
waterproong.

4.4 Grounding
Grounding is always required for the proper
operation of transmitters. Follow the domestic
electrical requirements as regulated in each
country.
Ground terminals are located on the inside and
outside of the terminal box. Either of these terminals
may be used. See Figure 4.2.
WARNING
For JIS ameproof type and intrinsically
safe type, grounding should satisfy Class D
requirements (grounding resistance, 100 Ω or
less).
