Cable Preparation
1. Place cable alongside the enclosure and allow sufficient length for spreading and terminating the core(s) to the terminals, then
cut off any surplus cable.
2. If a shroud is required, slide it onto the cable before proceeding with cable stripping.
3. Mark the point where the cable passes through the enclosure wall then measure back the length 'X' and mark position 'A' on
the cable.
4. Cut through over-sheath at position 'A' using a hacksaw or rotary cutter ensuring that the cut is perpendicular to the cable axis,
then continue to cut half way through the armour wires. Remove the over-sheath up to the armour wire cut position 'A' and
remove the armours by bending back and forth until they snap off.
5. Using the 'Y' dimension, mark position 'B' and cut and remove the cable over-sheath exposing the armour wires.
Gland Assembly
1. Dis-assemble the gland noting all the components and orientations as shown above.
2. Slide the outer sealing components onto the cable. nut (6), skid(5), seal(4) and barrel (3)
3. Slide the armour clamping ring (2) over the armours - narrow end first.
4. Slightly raise the armour wires and then slide the Gland body (1) along the cable so that the armour cone sits beneath the
armours. Spread the armour wires evenly around the cone.
5. Whilst holding the gland body (1) in place, screw the gland barrel (3) onto the gland body forcing the clamping ring (2) over the
armour wires and tighten to torque 'Z'. The gland barrel (3) can be unscrewed to check the armour lock and armour continuity.
6. Replace the gland barrel (3) and tighten up. Then screw the outer nut (6) onto the gland barrel (3) to compress the outer seal
onto the cable outer sheath.
