Cable Connections and Installation
The following section contains information on cable connections and installation for the IS–6V Battery Pack to a
320IS/320IS Plus indicator.
NOTE: Intrinsically safe cables are specified by control drawing. All cables must meet the appropriate internal
inductance and capacitance according to the control drawing. Cable lengths are based on group classifications.

Use the following procedure for connecting braided power cable:
1. Carefully remove 3" of insulation and 2 1/2" of braid from cable.
2. Remove domed cap and reducing gland from cord grip and place them on the cable. See Figure 2 above.
3. Remove domed cap and reducing gland from the parts kit. DO NOT confuse these with the parts
removed from the cord grip.
4. Transfer the metal piece of the reducing gland removed from the cord grip to the reducing gland from the
indicator parts kit.
5. Place the domed cap and reducing gland you removed from the indicator parts kit to the cable.
6. Install cable through cord grip stem, leaving braid outside of cord grip.
7. Lower reducing gland to edge of insulation and wrap braid over metal part of reducing gland.
8. Insert cable and reducing gland into cord grip stem.
9. Lower domed cap onto cord grip and tighten until a small swelling of the rubber between the domed cap
and the cable builds. See Figure 3 below.
