wires on the other end that must be terminated at the IND560x terminal, and the required gland for
entry into the IND560x harsh housing. EMC performance requires that the shield of the connection
cable be connected to the cable gland during installation. An example of shield termination at a
gland is shown in Figure 3-17.
3.4.1.1.
Field Modification of NiMH Battery Cable
The following instructions describe how to connect the shield of the NiMH battery pack connection
cable to the cable gland that will be installed onto the rear of the IND560x terminal housing, in the
event it is necessary to modify the NiMH battery cable in the field.
1. Disconnect the twist lock connector from the NiMH battery pack.
2. If it is present, remove the heat shrink from the battery connection cable. Cut off the
3. When making cable terminations inside the harsh enclosure, ensure that the cable length from
4. Strip back the blue cover of the battery connection cable until the shield and wires are exposed.
5. Spread the shield wires out and make sure enough shield wire is present to make good contact
6. Fold the shield wires over the plastic component of the cable gland (Figure 3-26). Then press
7. Ensure the nut on the cable gland is properly tightened to secure the shield and seal around the

KOP 64060627 was modified in March 2011. Changes to the shielding were made to make
the connection cable suitable for use with the IND560x. Calbe shielding was changed from a
chassis connection to a direct connection to the cable gland. KOP 64060627 is also still
suitable for use with the IND226x terminal.
If an early version of the NiMH battery connection cable is switched over from an IND226x
installation to an IND560x, steps must be taken to connect the shield of the connection cable to
the cable gland before installation into the IND560x terminal (Figure 3-17).

the terminal strip/connector to the terminal housing is sufficient so that no strain is placed on
the connector assembly when the housing is in the fully open position.
Approximate lengths should be 9in (230mm) for the blue and white wires, and 0.75in
(19mm) for the internal shield. Trim back the filler string.
