3 STORAGE AND HANDLING
The rugged construction of PYROTENAX MI industrial
wiring cable makes it the perfect solution for all industrial
applications, no matter how extreme. However, certain
storage and handling guidelines should be followed to
minimize the possibility of damage to the cable.
3.1 Storage
To protect cables from physical damage and the
environment, inspect the cables upon receipt and observe
the following storage measures.
Initial Inspection
When the cables are received:
•
Inspect the factory-applied protective covering on the
cable for evidence of shipment damage. Keep the
protective cover in place until removal is absolutely
necessary.
•
Where possible, check the cable sheath for evidence of
shipment damage.
•
Verify that terminations or heat shrinkable end caps are
not damaged, missing, or removed.
•
Verify that factory terminated cables are correctly
labeled and have the appropriate gland connector
fittings for the intended use.
•
Check the insulation resistance (IR) for the presence of
moisture in the cable using a megohmmeter (damage
to the sheath, end caps, or terminations will cause
moisture to enter the cable). See Section 6 for testing
guidelines and record the results of the tests in the
Cable Inspection Record in Appendix B. If moisture is
present, follow the instructions in Appendix A to remove
the moisture or contact nVent for guidance.
