CABLE GLAND COMPONENTS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION
1. Separate the gland into two sub-assemblies, A and B, by unscrewing the body (2) from the entry
item (1). Note that items (4) and (5) are loose items.
2. Prepare the cable by stripping back the
cable outer sheath and armour to suit the
equipment geometry. Expose the armour
by stripping back the outer sheath further
using the table below as a guide.
3. Secure the entry components (sub-assembly A) into the equipment. (Not for remote installation)
Pass the sub-assembly B (outer seal first) and AnyWay clamping ring (5) over the cable.
Insert the reversible armour cone (4) in the sub-assembly A, orientation to suit cable (see below)
4. Pass the cable through sub-assembly A, spacing the armour or braid evenly around the cone.
Whilst continuing to push the cable forward to keep the cable braid or armour in contact with the
cone, tighten the compensating sleeve (3) into the entry component (1) until all the threads are
used. (Note that the internal compensator will prevent the cable gland inner seal from being over-
tightened onto the cable inner sheath.)
The inner sheath of the T3CDSPB gland contains a device to automatically make an electrical
contact with the lead sheath on the cable as the cable is installed.
5. Terminate the cable by tightening the body (2) onto the entry component (1) using a spanner on
each part. Tighten the body until the body and entry components are metal to metal and cannot
be tightened further.
6. Tighten the outer seal nut (6) until it comes to an effective stop. This will occur when:-
A) The outer seal nut (6) has clearly engaged the cable and cannot be further tightened
without the use of excessive force by the installer.
B) The outer seal nut (6) is metal to metal with the body of the gland (2).
