CABLE ENTRANCE IN EX CASES
The entry-points of the electric cables with the explosion-proof cases can be made in four different ways:
A) EEx d type cable glands of the compression type with no sealing
B) Traditional cable glands for EEx e (normally made in metal or plastic), "stuffing" type
C) Sealing EEx d type joints for round cables.
D) Sealing EEx d type joints for flat cables.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR “D” TYPE (TOR) CABLE GLANDS
1. Clean carefully the cable sheath and the internal surfaces of the cable gland
2. Strip the cable back to the indicated length.
3. Add the hardener to the resin in proportion as specified in the table hereunder and mix thoroughly avoiding air bubble formation.
The mixing operation must be carried out at room temperature (15°C ÷ 25°C).
4. In order to prevent resin mixture from leaking out, fill the C area of the cable gland with suitable material (e.g.: plaster, glass
fabric, etc.).
5. Pour the mixture filling the B section of the cable gland up to the level indicated.
6. Remove any traces of resin from the coupling point (zone D)
7. Do not move the cable during the drying/hardening phase (t ≥ 12 hrs). During hardening, it is recommended that sudden changes
in temperature of 10°K/h or more are avoided.
8. Fit Part A of the cable gland on the enclosure (L ≥ 8 mm). In case of cylindrical thread, do use Loctite thread locker for
anti-loosening action.
9. Connect part B to part A using the screws provided.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO RESIN POURING,
AFFECTS THE EXPLOSION-PROOF QUALITY OF THE COMPONENT AND RELIEVES ITALKRANE FROM ANY AND ALL
LIABILITIES FOR ANY POSSIBLE RESULTING DAMAGES.
