Special Conditions for Safe Use

1. These glands must not be used in enclosures
where the temperature at the point of mounting
is outside the range of -35°C to +90°C using
neoprene seals, or –60° to +180°C using silicone
seals.
2. When the gland is used with increased safety and/
or dust protected equipment, the entry thread
shall be suitable sealed to maintain the ingress
protection rating of the associated enclosure.
3. If these cable glands only grip the cable sheath of
the cable and do not clamp the cable armour or if
they are used to terminate unarmoured, braided
or screened cables, then they shall only be used
for fixed installations, hence the cables shall be
effectively clamped to prevent pulling or twisting.
4. These glands, when installed in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions and with an
appropriate enclosure on which they are fixed, are
capable of providing an ingress protection of IP66
and IP68 (50 metres 7 days)
5. Where glands without sealing rings are installed in
protection by enclosure (Ex t) equipment for use
in explosive dust atmospheres, they may only be
fitted into enclosures offering a minimum of 5 full
threads, in accordance with EN 60079-31:2014
clause 5.1.2.
