The waterproof seal works by clamping onto the cable PVC sheath. The
EMC gasket clamps onto the cable braid.
Note: Do not to force the outer sheath through the EMC gasket as the
gasket can split.
The braid is also formed into a tail that is grounded by means of an adjacent
earth tag. The fitting procedure is shown in Figure 3.19.
Figure 3.19 Detailed view of Cable Gland Assembly
To Install the Cables:
1. Unscrew the gland nut.
2. Remove the waterproof seal and the EMC gasket.
3. Feed the cables through the gland nut and waterproof seal.
4. Strip the outer sheath to expose approximately:
300mm of braid for the multicore cables.
1200mm of braid for the video coaxial cable.
5. Push the braid back to expose approximately 50mm of the inner cores.
6. Trim 50mm off the inner cores.
7. Pull the braid back and twist into a point.
8. Feed the cable through the EMC gasket until it is positioned as shown
in Figure 3.19.
9. For the Multicore Cable: flare the braid out to within approximately
15mm of the EMC gasket and form a tail.
10. For the Coaxial Cable: do not fit the connector at this time.
