 4 CABLE GLAND ASSEMBLY

Cable glands PAMC/* and PAXMC/M for non-armoured cables

Assembling procedure
Unscrew the Back-nut  from Entry 
Push the electric cable  though the cable gland
  Connect the cable wires to the solenoid terminal board
Screw-in the Entry  into the solenoid cable entrance
lock it at relevant tightening torque specified in section 1
 Lock the Back-nut  using a wrench until a resistance is
felt between internal seal  and the cable
  Turn the Back-nut  through a further half turn to ensure
the complete inner sealing

Note: the arrow corresponding to the correct armour

Assembling procedure type (SWA or X, Y, Z) must be orinted towards
step 1 the ex-proof solenoid
Unscrew Back-nut  from Middle-Nut  and Entry 
Push the cable through the Armour spigot 
Spread the armour over the Armour spigot  until the end of the armour is up against the shoulder of the armour cone
Position the Armour clamping ring  paying attention to its correct orientation depending to the armour type (see above)
Remove the Inner seal  from the Entry 
Place the Entry  over the Armour spigot 
Move the sub-assembly + to meet the entry 
Connect the cable wires to the solenoid terminal board
Screw-in the Entry  into the solenoid cable entrance and lock it at relevant tightening torque specified in section 2 and 3
Hand tighten the Middle nut  to the Entry  and turn a further half turn with a wrench
Unscrew the Middle nut  and visually inspect that the armour has been successfully clamped between the armour spigot  and the
armour clamping ring 
If the armour is not correctly clamped, repeat the assembly
step 2
Re-assemble Middle nut  onto the components  +  +  +  paying attention to the correct orientation of the reversible armour
Clamping ring 
Tighten up the Middle nut  by hand first and then using a wrench a further 1 to 2 turns until fully tight
Hand tighten the Backnut  then tighten a further full turn using a wrench
Ensure that the Middle nut  does not rotate when tightening the Back-nut 
Ensure that the deluge seal is compressed into correct position
