SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
• These Cable Glands shall not be used where the temperature at the point of mounting is below -60°C or exceeds 130°C • Concerning direct cable entry to Ex d enclosures, "These Cable Glands shall not be used with Group IIC Enclosures that have a free volume that exceeds 2000 cm3 ACCESSORIES The following accessories are available from CMP Products, as optional extras, to assist with fixing, sealing and earthing :- Locknut | Earth Tag | Serrated Washer | Entry Thread (I.P.) Sealing Washer | Shroud *
CORRECT TOOLS Always use the correct tools, as incorrect tools will inevitably lead to mistakes, potential damage and/or personal injury. Gloves are recommended when handling and terminating cables and cable glands. Dedicated Cable Gland spanners for each cable gland size are available from CMP Products, and these are recommended for installing the product correctly. Adjustable spanners and wrenches are not recommended as there is a possibility of slippage that can lead to accidental injury or damage to surface finish. Any sharp tools, instruments or knives used to cut or strip the cable sheath should be equipped with a safety blade or other safety feature consistent with the tool design and intended use. Please refer to CMP Products in sourcing tools if required, who would be happy to assist. Safety and personal protection should be given priority over all other considerations. A hacksaw, or other similar tool, should be used to cut armour wires. Hacksaw blades should be checked regularly and replaced when worn, or whenever evidence that a consistent first time clean cut is no longer possible. Note, when cutting armour wires, care should be taken to avoid cutting into the inner cable sheath beneath the armour wires.
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
• BS EN 60079 -10 2003 Classification of Hazardous Areas • BS EN 60079 -14 2003 Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas (other than mines). Please refer to the selection guide in clause 10.4.2 for Ex d applications.
• Installation should only be carried out by a competent person, skilled in the installation of cable glands
• Care should be taken to avoid damage to entry threads when handling and installing cable glands • Depending upon the specific form of protection of the main equipment it may be necessary to fit an I.P. sealing washer, at the cable entry interface, to maintain the appropriate Ingress Protection levels. For Increased Safety (EEx e) equipment, or Increased Safety terminal chambers found on EEx de equipment, a sealing washer is essential to maintain the minimum Ingress Protection rating, and should always be fitted. For other forms of protection, e.g. Flameproof EEx d apparatus, the inclusion of a sealing washer is optional. CMP (I.P.) Sealing Washers, which are installed at the cable entry interface, between the equipment enclosure and the cable entry device (cable gland) have been 3rd party tested in Ingress Protection tests to BS EN 60529 • Always ensure that the correct fixing accessories provided by CMP Products are used, as appropriate to secure the cable glands into the mating equipment. In addition to (I.P.) Sealing Washers, CMP Products are also able to provide Locknuts, Earth Tags, and Serrated Washers which should be used as appropriate to the equipment configuration. Usually for any equipment other than EEx d apparatus, it will be necessary to use as a minimum a Locknut, and also a Serrated Washer if the enclosure of the equipment or application requires it.The addition of an Earth Tag will depend upon the earth continuity provision of the enclosures installed.
• Cable Gland seals are included within the cable gland when despatched from the factory.There should be no circumstances where seals need to be removed from the cable gland. Care should be taken to avoid exposure of cable gland seals to dirt, hostile substances, e.g. solvents, and other foreign bodies.
• Cable Gland components are not interchangeable with those of any other cable gland manufacturer. It is important to note that components from one manufacturer's product cannot be used in that of another, and that modification of a cable gland product will invalidate the hazardous area certification.
• The cable gland is not a user serviceable product and spare parts are not permitted to be supplied under the certification. CMP Document No. FI 060 Issue 2 07/04
• Cable Glands should not be installed whilst circuits are live. Similarly, following energising of the electrical circuits, cable glands should not be dismantled or opened until the circuit has been safely de-energised.
I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the equipment referred to herein conforms to 94/9/EC directive.
