    Installation Guide for FibeAir IP-20C-HP Special Instructions for use of Glands Note: Each IP-20C-HP unit is supplied with two glands. If additional glands are required, they must be ordered separately, in kits of five glands each. Table 20: Glands Kit...

  • Page 42: General Installation Procedure

    Installation Guide for FibeAir IP-20C-HP 4.7.1 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 43 Installation Guide for FibeAir IP-20C-HP 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 44 Installation Guide for FibeAir IP-20C-HP 6 The M28 gland cap has a 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 45 Installation Guide for FibeAir IP-20C-HP 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.
