Cable entries in accordance with ATEX / IECEx 
 
The devices are supplied with cable glands installed (certified in 
accordance with ATEX or IECEx). 
•  The use of standard cable glands and closures is prohibited. 
•  The black plugs in the cable glands are intended to provide 
protection during transport. 
•  The outside diameter of the connection cable must measure 
between 6 mm (0.24 in) and 12 mm (0.47 in) to guarantee the 
required tightness. 
•  Black cable glands are installed by default when the device is 
supplied. If signal outputs are connected to intrinsically safe 
circuits, replace the black cap on the corresponding cable 
gland with the blue one supplied. 
•  Any unused cable entries must be sealed before 
commissioning in accordance with the applicable standards. 
 
Note 
Low-temperature version devices (optional, up to −40 °C (−40 °F) 
ambient temperature) are supplied with metal cable glands due 
to the required temperature resistance.

glands in accordance with national regulations (NEC, CEC). 
•  Make sure that the pipe fittings, cable glands and, if 
applicable, sealing plugs are installed properly and are leak-
tight. 
•  If the device is to be operated in areas with combustible 
dusts, a threaded pipe connection or cable gland with 
suitable approval must be used. 
•  The use of standard cable glands and closures is prohibited. 
 
Note 
Devices which are certified for use in North America are supplied 
with a ½ in. NPT thread only and without cable glands.
