How to Protect the Interface Connections

All cable connectors not inside the equipment, whether exposed to weather or other-
wise, should be waterproofed and secured after making the connection. By securing
and waterproofing the connections, the IPx2 rating can be maintained. Disconnec-
tions/loosened connections are also prevented.
To waterproof and secure each connection, refer to the procedures outlined below.
For completed connections
1) Wrap the connection, covering approx. 30 mm to either side, with self-vulcanizing tape.
2) Wrap a second layer of self-vulcanizing tape in the opposite direction.
3) Wrap vinyl tape over the self-vulcanizing tape.
The vinyl tape should cover approx. 50 mm to either side of the connection.
4) Wrap a second layer of vinyl tape in the opposite direction.
5) Bind the tape ends with cable ties to prevent the tape from unraveling.
