INCORPORATING EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY TO DIRECTIVE 94/9/EC

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.
Braid snips should be used to remove unwanted or excess cable braid. Ensure that braid snips are in good condition and effectively sharp enough to enable
a first time clean cut of the cable braid without snagging.
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.
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.

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
CMP Document No. FI256 Issue 1 05/07

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 (Ex e) equipment, or Increased Safety terminal chambers found on Ex 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 Ex 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 Ex 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.

The cable gland is not a user serviceable product and spare parts are not permitted to be supplied under the certification.
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.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION


1. The PX2K Cable Gland is supplied as a Universal Kit, with two armour cones to suit a variety of cable armour types. One cone is grooved (5a)
and the other is stepped (5b) for ease of identification.The grooved armour cone (5a), is suitable for Strip Armour,Tape Armour, and Braided
Cables, and the the stepped armour cone (5b) is suitable for Wire Armour (SWA) cables.
2. Separate the cable gland into Entry Component A and Sub-Assembly B, noting that items 3, 5 (a or b) and 7 are loose items, as shown in fig. 1.
Pass sub-assembly B and AnyWay Clamping Ring (7) over the cable, seal nut (9) first.
Select the correct cone for the type of cable to be terminated.The illustrations on the following page show a braid armour cable termination.
3. Determine the conductor length required and strip back cable outer sheath and braid or armour to suit the equipment geometry. Expose the
cable braid or armour further so that it can be formed around the armour cone (5a or 5b), by stripping the outer sheath to Length L.This length
may vary slightly depending upon diameter of the cable. See fig 2 and table opposite for guidance.
4. Insert the armour cone (5 a or b) into the entry component A (2) and pass the cable through these items until the braid or armour is formed
around the cone see fig. 3. (Note :This operation can be done either remotely from the equipment, or with the entry component A (2)
secured into the equipment enclosure see also steps 9a & 9b below).Tighten the body (6) to the entry component A (2) locking the armour.
Unscrew the body (6) from the entry component and withdraw the cable.
5. Remove any bedding, fillers or tapes from around the conductors at point R, in readiness for application of epoxy resin barrier compound,
avoiding damage to the conductor insulation. It is important that the compound is correctly mixed and applied as this will form the flameproof
or (explosion proof) seal.Thoroughly mix the two part compound in equal proportions to a uniform colour and a soft pliable consistency. Plastic
gloves are provided for personal protection whilst handling the compound.
6. For Drain Wire terminations see further instructions opposite, or otherwise if no drain wires present continue with step 7 below.
7. Separate the conductors and pack compound into the crutch of the cable, between and around the conductors. Bring the conductors back
together, and apply the compound further around the cable conductors to a diameter sufficient to fill the armour cone and compound tube.The
compound should be applied around and between the conductors to a length not exceeding that of the compound tube (3), ending in a taper
(minimum length of filled compound 20mm) (fig 4).
8. Pass the compound tube (3) over the conductors and compound, and push it firmly until it is fully located with the armour cone (5 a or b). Pack
the compound into the end of the compound tube (3) ensuring that it is filled completely. Remove any excess compound from all external
surfaces to ensure that the components can be assembled without obstruction, and that the flameproof paths are not impaired.
9a. Direct make-off into Equipment
i)
Secure Entry Component A (2) into the equipment.
ii)
Slacken the outer seal nut (9) to ensure that the seal is relaxed.
iii) Carefully pass the cable assembly through the Entry Component A (2) ensuring that the compound is not disturbed.
iv) With the compound tube located in the Entry Component A (2) tighten body item (6) into Entry component A (2).
v)
Using a standard spanner, tighten the Outer Seal Nut (9) onto the body (6) until it comes to an effective stop.This will occur when i. The
Outer Seal Nut (9) is metal to metal with the body (6) of the cable gland, or ii. The Outer Seal has clearly engaged the cable and cannot
be further tightened without the use of excessive force by the installer.
vi) The cable gland must be left to cure undisturbed, until the compound has hardened before the cable conductors are terminated.
9b. Remote make-off
i)
With the outer seal nut (9) slackened, to ensure that the seal is relaxed, carefully pass the Entry Component A (2) over the cable
assembly ensuring that the compound is not disturbed.
ii)
With the compound tube (3) located in the Entry Component A (2) carefully tighten the Entry Component A (2) and body item (6)
together to complete the cable gland assembly in true alignment.
iii) The cable gland must be left to cure undisturbed, until the compound has hardened.
iv) After the compound has cured, dismantle the assembly by reversing step ii. above, remove the Entry Component A (2) and secure this
into the equipment.
v)
Ensure that the outer seal nut (9) is relaxed.
vi) Carefully pass the cable assembly through the Entry Component A (2).
vii) With the compound tube located in the Entry Component A (2) tighten body item (6) onto Entry Component A (2).
viii) Using a standard spanner, tighten the Outer Seal Nut (9) onto the body (6) until it comes to an effective stop.This will occur when i. The
Outer Seal Nut (9) is metal to metal with the body (6) of the cable gland, or ii. The Outer Seal has clearly engaged the cable and cannot
be further tightened without the use of excessive force by the installer.
This completes the termination.

A) When Using Drain Wire/s with heat/cold shrink tubing

B) When insulating Drain Wire/s or Screens with separate


insulated connection
i)

Proceed with steps 1 to 6 of the installation instructions opposite, with the


following additional steps.

ii)

When cable is provided with screen wires remove a further 15mm of outer
sheathing to expose the screens.

iii)
Unravel the screen wires and twist together to form one single conductor. It
may be necessary to cut out and remove some of the screen wires prior to
the next step.
iv)

Crimp or solder an insulated conductor to the screen conductor by the use


of an insulated butt ferrule.The length of the insulated conductor will be
determined by the distance to the point of the earth connection within the
equipment.

v)

IMPORTANT, there must be a minimum of 10mm of the epoxy resin


compound applied both before and after the crimped connection.

vi)

Continue with step 7 of the installation instructions opposite.
