Buccaneer 900 Series Environmentally Sealed Connectors
IMPOR TANT - PLEASE READ
Before using the connector, it is important that these instructions are carefully
read and understood to ensure the connector system is completely water tight
and electrically safe.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NEVER UNMATE OR MATE THE PRODUCT WHILE STILL UNDER LOAD
The 900 Series Buccaneer is available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 pole
versions. The 3, 4, 5 and 7 pole versions have a 'Leading Earth' pin
arrangement for added protection.
The socket insert of the connector should always be the live part of the
connector from the supply. The pin insert of the connector should always lead
to the load or electrical device. The pin or socket inserts can be fitted to any
body style to provide the correct arrangement for the application.
To ensure efficient sealing use only smooth, circular cable with appropriate
gland for the cable diameter. The sealing glands supplied with the Flex and
Flex In-line connectors accommodate cables sizes as follows:
Version Cable Dia.
PX0 13-15mm
PX0 11-13mm
PX0 9-11mm
PX0 7-9mm
PXA 20-22mm
PXA 18-20mm
PXA 16-18mm
PXA 14-16mm
Assembl y/Wiring instructions
1. Remove the pin or socket insert from the housing of the connector.
There is a slot for a flat blade screwdriver in the centre of the insert.
NOTE: The inserts have a LEFT HAND THREAD and should be turned
clockwise to remove.
2. For Flex and In-Line connector bodies, remove the gland nut, gland
cage and gland from the rear of the housing and slide onto the
cable. NOTE for PXA version there is no gland cage. Thread the
cable through the connector body. See assembly drawings, figs. 1-5
and 8 for different body styles.
3. Prepare the cable and bare the wire ends as shown in fig. 6, wire
stripping details.
4. Insert the bared wire ends into the terminals on the back of the
pin/socket insert and fully tighten the wire retention screws.
NOTE: If the connector is to be used with 'mains' voltages, ensure
the wires are connected in the correct orientation as shown in the
diagram below.
After the wires have been connected securely, pull the cable and
insert back into the housing and tighten with a screwdriver to ensure
the insert is seated correctly.
NOTE: LEFT HAND THREAD, turn the insert anti-clockwise when
assembling.
When assembling the Chassis (fig 3) and Flange (fig 4 and 5)
housing types, the cable should be left free behind the panel to
prevent it twisting.
5. For Flex and Flex In-line housings:
PX0 version: Slide the gland, gland cage and gland nut along the
cable into the body and tighten the gland nut to the appropriate
torque to seal.
Please note change to PXA assembly:
PXA version: Slide 1 washer, the gland, the final washer and gland
nut along the cable into the body and tighten to the appropriate
torque to seal then tighten clamp screws to secure. See fig 8.
6. For the Bulkhead, Flange and Chassis body styles, correctly seat the
gaskets and housing onto the mounting surface and secure with rear
nut or screws/bolts with seals. Ensure all seals and glands are kept
clean during assembly.
NOTE: To ensure that the correct sealing properties of the connector are
achieved it is imperative that all 'O' rings are correctly located and
seated before assembly. Please refer to the exploded diagrams for the
locations of these seals.
