Harsh Enclosure Cable Glands

The IND560 harsh environment terminal is designed to withstand severe
washdown environments. However, care must be taken when installing cables
and/or connectors that enter the terminal enclosure. To ensure a watertight seal:
•
Pass the cables through an appropriately sized cable grip before connecting
the wires. Figure 2-13 shows one load cell cable installed in its cable grip,
and a second grip disassembled.
•
Depending upon the diameter of the cable to be installed, select one of the two
different sized rubber grommets (if required) to properly seal around the cable.
