Rotary Switch Access Cover
Check the rotary switch access cover
o-ring every time the access cover is
removed. Replace the o-ring when it is
damaged, discolored, or showing signs of
wear. The o-ring should be:
• Seated fi rmly against the threads
without stretching to fi t or without
bulging loosely, and
• Pushed against the fl anged cover.
When removing or closing the rotary switch
access cover, manually twist the cover
into position. Do not allow cross-threading
between the cover and the DX80 face.
Once the cover is in place and manually
tightened, use a small screwdriver (no
longer than fi ve inches total length) as a
lever to apply enough torque to bring the
rotary switch access cover even with the
DX80 cover surface.

Installation - Weather-Proofing Glands and Plugs
Watertight Glands and Plugs
Watertight 1/2" NPT Plug
Seal the 1/2" NPT port if it is not used. To
install a watertight NPT plug:
1. Wrap 12 to 16 passes of PTFE
tape evenly across the length of the
threads.
2. Manually thread the plug into the
housing port until reaching some
resistance.
3. Using a 9/16" crescent wrench, turn
the plug until all the plug's threads are
engaged by the housing port.

To make the glands watertight:
Note, these instructions apply both to the
PG-7 glands and the 1/2" NPT gland.
Watertight PG-7 Plug
Seal any unused PG-7 (small) access
holes with one of the supplied black plastic
plugs. To install a watertight PG7 plug:
11
1. Wrap four to eight passes of
polytetrafl uoroethylene (PTFE) tape
around the threads as close as
possible to the hexagonal body of the
gland.
2. Manually thread the gland into the
housing hole. Never apply more than
10 in-lbf of torque to the gland or its
cable clamp nut.
1. Wrap four to eight passes of PTFE
tape around the plug's threads, as
close as possible to the fl anged
surface.
2. Carefully thread the plastic plug
into the vacant hole in the DX80
housing and tighten using a slotting
screwdriver. Never apply more than
10 in-lbf torque to the plastic plug.
