apparatus
TIIS Flameproof SVP model is provided with a certified cable gland.
The cable gland seals the cable entering the SVP enclosure to withstand an internal
explosion and protects the cable from being damaged mechanically and electrically.
Use the dedicated elbow if it is necessary to change the direction of the cable with these
models.
Handling Precautions:
If the device is to be used under the authorization other than that for the TIIS
Flameproof standards, the wiring of cables must be performed according to local
regulations for electrical installations in explosive atmospheres.
