Unused entries:
• For explosionproof construction: unused entries must be plugged with metal
explosionproof plugs and blocked with a thread sealant.
• For weatherproof construction: replace the plastic standard protection plugs
supplied with the actuator with metal plugs.
3.7 Cable Entries
The sealing of cables and conduit entries should be carried out in accordance with
National Standards or the Regulatory Authorities that have certied the actuators. This is
particularly true for units that are certied for use in hazardous areas where the method of
sealing must be to an approved standard, and cable glands, reducers, plugs and adapters
must be approved and separately certied.
Certied cable entries:
• Standard ASA/NPT (cable entries 2x1”+1x1 1/2”).
• Metric ISO 965 (cable entries 2xM32+1xM40).
Remove the cable entry plugs.
NOTICE
• To prevent any water inltration through the line cable conduits, make sure the cable
glands have the minimum protection degree required by the plant.
• If rigid conduits are used, we suggest placing a exible pipe connection between the
conduit and the terminal board.
To guarantee weatherproof and explosionproof t, screw the cable glands tightly (at least 5
turns) and block them with a thread sealant. The use of a thread sealant is necessary in case
of explosionproof application.
If some parts of the cable glands have been removed while working on the cable entries,
put them back into place now to avoid losing the dismantled parts.
