INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Code details depends upon application - please see certificate)
Installation should only be performed by a competent person using the correct tools. Read all instructions before beginning installation.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
1. The cable glands used for terminating braid cable are only suitable for fixed installations. Cables must be effectively clamped to prevent twisting and pulling.
2. According to the CEC wiring code, connectors with metric threads are only suitable for Areas Classified in ZONES unless fitted with an approved Metric to NPT thread conversion adaptor.
3. Wiring method for type of cables that can be used in Class I, Div. 1, 2, and Class I, Zone 1, 2, Classified Areas according to 60079-14 installation wiring method restrictions.
4. Shipboard Cables are for use on Marine Platform or shipboards only and are subject to local authorities having jurisdiction on the installation.
6. CAUTION - To reduce risk of flame propagation, fittings with ISO metric threads require:
a) 5 full threads engaged for gas groups C and D FOR TERMINATION OF CABLES WITH WIRE BRAID, TAPE ARMOUR (STA/DSTA), STRIP
b) 10 full threads engaged for gas groups A and B
7. When the gland is supplied with metric entry threads, a CMP Entry Thread Washer should be fitted between the connector and the enclosure to prevent the ingress of moisture or dust into the
enclosure. Thread tape must not be applied to the threads.
ARMOUR & SINGLE WIRE ARMOUR (SWA) (WITH LEAD INNER SHEATH ON PB
8. Before installing the gland, ensure that the gland thread forms and the enclosure thread form are compatible.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION

1. The PX2K-REX type cable gland is supplied as a Universal Kit with two armour cones, the grooved armour cone (5a) is
suitable for Strip Armour, Tape Armour and Braided Cables, and the stepped cone (5b) is suitable for Wire Armour (SWA) cables.
If the installation only uses cores
The PX2KX-REX gland only has one cone (5a) and the PX2KW-REX only has one cone (5b). (PB Variants have an earthing device (i.e. no cable sheath) at the Resin Dam

3. Prepare the cable by stripping back the outer sheath and braid / armour to suit the equipment. Expose the braid or armour
further so that it can be formed around the armour cone by cutting back the outer sheath by a length “L”. This length varies
slightly depending upon cable diameter, but typical values are shown below. The inner sheath should be long enough to just
pass through the resin dam when installed. (Typical length of inner sheath is shown as ‘M’ below.) On lead sheathed cables, the
lead sheath should be long enough to just pass through the armour cone when installed.

ensure the cable cores are together and also to cover any sharp edges that
could potentially tear the Resin Dam during installation.
