IMPORTANT NOTES FOR INSTALLERS
1.
Read all instructions before beginning installation. Installation shall only be performed by competent, suitably trained personnel (in accordance with EN/IEC 60079-14) using the
correct tools; spanners should be used for tightening.
2.
Inspection and maintenance shall only be performed by competent, suitably trained personnel (in accordance with EN/IEC 60079-14 (Initial Inspection) and EN/IEC 60079-17).
3.
The interface between a cable entry device and its associated enclosure / cable entry will require additional sealing to achieve ingress protection (IP) ratings higher than IP54.
The minimum protection level is IP54 for explosive gas atmospheres and IP6X for explosive dust atmospheres. Parallel threads (and tapered threads when using a non-threaded
entry) require a CMP sealing washer or integral O-ring face seal (where available) to maintain IP66, 67 and 68 (when applicable). It is the installers responsibility to ensure the
IP rating is maintained at the interface.
Note: When fitted to a threaded entry, all tapered threads will automatically provide an ingress protection rating of IP66.
4.
The standard product temperature range is -60°C to +130°C. The equipment should not be used outside of this range.
5.
Cable glands do not have any serviceable parts and are therefore not intended to be repaired.
6.
Cable glands are manufactured from Brass, Nickel Plated Brass, Stainless Steel, Mild Steel or Aluminium, with Silicone seals. The end user shall consider the performance of these
materials with regard to attack by aggressive substances that may be present in the hazardous area. Consideration should be given to potential degradation due to galvanic
corrosion at the interface of dis-similar metallic materials.
7.
It is the end user's responsibility to ensure the equipment materials are suitable for their final installation location. If in doubt consult CMP Products Limited.
8.
Once installed do not dismantle except for inspection. An inspection should be conducted as per IEC / EN 60079-17 by a qualified person. After inspection the gland should be
re-assembled as instructed, ensuring the outer seal nut is correctly tightened to ensure the cable is secured.
9.
Metric entry threads comply with ISO 965-1 and ISO 965-3 with a 6g tolerance as required by IEC 60079-1:2014. The CMP standard metric thread pitch is 1.5mm for threads
up to M75, and 2.0mm from M90 and above. Special thread pitches between 0.7 – 2.0mm are available on all products on request. See certificate for details of other thread
types. NPT threads are in accordance with ASME B1.20.1-2013 gauging to Cl 3.2 for external threads. For details of other thread types refer to IECEx certificate.
10.
The enclosure surface finish must be smooth and flat to facilitate sealing with an O-ring or Entry Thread Sealing Washer for the required IP rating.
11.
Enclosure will need to be sufficiently strong to support the cable and cable gland assembly. Enclosure entries must be perpendicular. Any draft angles from the casting/moulding
process should have a perpendicular flat spot machined to facilitate sealing with an O-ring or Entry Thread Sealing Washer.
12.
CMP Products recommends when using the cable gland with a through-hole, the hole must be circular, free of burrs and the diameter no larger than 0.7mm above the thread
major diameter. A suitable CMP Products locknut shall be used to secure the product. See CMP Products catalogue for locknut options.
13.
A CMP earth tag should be used when it is necessary to provide an earth bond connection. CMP earth tags have been independently tested to comply with Category B rating
specified in IEC 62444 (no ratings stated in IEC 60079-0). Ratings are shown in the associated table. CMP earth tags slip over the cable gland or accessory entry thread from
inside/outside the enclosure and must be secured with a locknut (if fitted internally).

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE
1.
All cable gland types and sizes are only suitable for fixed installations. Cables must be effectively clamped to prevent pulling or twisting.
2.
The entry item component may be supplied with an alternative nearest equivalent recognised thread type and size to the metric thread, whilst maintaining a tolerance of fit,
equal to or better than, a medium fit to ISO 965-1 & ISO 965-3. Intended for use within existing installations only, that incorporate female thread types that are no longer
permitted by the current edition of EN/IEC 60079-1, but comply with the requirements of EN 50018:2000 & IEC 60079-1:2001.
3.
Ingress discs shall be removed (not remain fitted within cable glands) intended for installation within flameproof (Ex d) enclosures.
ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are available from CMP Products, as optional extras, to assist with fixing, sealing and earthing :-
Locknut, Earth Tag, Serrated Washer, Entry Thread (I.P.) Sealing Washer, Shroud
