Page 30: Storage And Protection
When installing connectors without a location key into their interface, the locking ring that holds the mount interface in place must be checked for Loctite. If it is not present Siemens Energy Connectors recommend that the locking ring is secured with a thread-locking compound, e.g. Loctite 2400. - Page 31 Document No: DOC0074 Issue Date: 22/10/2021 Revision: Page: 31 of 53 5.6.1 Short term connector storage Prior to installation the connectors are sensitive to environments where grit and dirt are present. To prevent ingress of the above, they should be stored in a clean dry area and be protected by bubble wrap or similar wrapping material.
