Page 34
Installation and User Guide for FibeAir IP-20S 12 Tighten the gland cap. Important Note! Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance.
Installation and User Guide for FibeAir IP-20S 3.8.1 General Installation Procedure This procedure applies to all cable types, and explains how to install the cables using long glands. The gland is supplied assembled. 1 Before inserting a cable, you must disassemble the gland cap and gland rubber from the gland body.
Page 36
Installation and User Guide for FibeAir IP-20S 4 Slide the cable into the body of the gland. If you are using a gland cap (see Step 5), make sure to leave enough space for the gland cap to fit into the gland without disturbing the cable.
Page 37
Installation and User Guide for FibeAir IP-20S The M28 gland cap has hook on top. After attaching the gland cap to the gland, you can connect a rope to the hook and use this to lift the gland and cable up to the radio unit. Before screwing the gland into the radio unit, you must remove the gland cap.
Page 38
Installation and User Guide for FibeAir IP-20S 9 Screw the gland into the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio unit. Important Note! Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface.
