IP68 Connector Handling Instructions
Handling Instructions
• The connector should not be exposed to long term heat or sunshine.
• If this occurs, and the connectors are very dry, soak in fresh water before
use.
• Ensure the connectors are lubricated - the recommended lubricant is
Loctite 8021 as a spray or Molykote 44 Medium as a paste - use either
sparingly.
• Any accumulation of sand or mud in the female contact should be
removed with fresh water. Spraying or the application of grease could
dammage the the female seals; see
Figure 93.
• Do not over tighten the bulkhead nuts
• Do not disconnect by pulling on the
cable and avoid sharp bends at cable
entry.
• When disconnecting, pull straight, not
at an angle.
Ensure the above points are fulfilled to get
the best out of your connectors. If in
doubt, please contact Applanix.
