1 PT-Series HD Camera Installation
1.6.7 Cable Gland Sealing
Proper installation of cable sealing glands and use of appropriate elastomer inserts is critical to long
term reliability. Cables enter the camera mount enclosure through liquid-tight compression glands. Be
sure to insert the cables through the cable glands on the enclosure before terminating and connecting
them (the connectors will not fit through the cable gland). Leave the gland nuts loosened until all cable
installation has been completed. Inspect and install gland fittings in the back cover with suitable leak
sealant and tighten to ensure water tight fittings. Teflon tape or pipe sealant (for example DuPont
RectorSeal
T™) are suitable for this purpose.
Cable Glands and Spare Parts Kit
The kit contains the two 3/4” cable glands and gland
seal plugs required for non-conduit installations.
The remaining parts included in the kit are:
• a spare ground wire
• a spare ground nut and lock washer
• two spare power terminal block plugs
• two spare serial port terminal block plugs
• four spare F-Series back cover screws
• four spare PT-Series back cover screws
Cable Gland Seal Inserts
Cables may be between 0.23" to 0.29" OD. Up
to six cables may be installed. Plugs are
required for the hole(s) not being used. The
photograph at the right shows two power
cables, an Ethernet cable, an analog video
cable, and two gland seal plugs.
If non-standard cable diameters are used, it
may be necessary to locate or fabricate the
appropriate insert to fit the desired cable. FLIR
Systems, Inc. does not provide cable gland
inserts other than what is supplied with the
system.
