How to Install the SPeX Single-Pole Connector
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and configuring the SPeX single-pole connector for use in explosive atmospheres.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wrench set
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Cable gland, Color-coded rings, Isolating ring
- Prepare the installation area
Ensure that all power sources are disconnected before starting the installation. Verify that the installation area complies with local and national electrical codes.
- Insert the cable
Insert the cable through the cable gland and the handle or through the inclined sleeve. Ensure that the cable is properly positioned for secure connections.
- Wire the pilot circuit
Use flexible conductors with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 to 1 mm² (16 to 20 AWG). Connect these conductors to the microswitch wires using the isolated crimping lugs provided. Use an appropriate crimping tool for secure connections.
- Wire the main conductors
Strip the main conductors by 1.8 inches (46 mm). Crimp the threaded lug or ferrule with the appropriate die and tighten using a 24 mm wrench. Apply a torque of approximately 70 N·m (95 ft-lbs).
- Assemble the connector
Assemble the handles onto the body of the connector using the supplied gaskets and screws. Tighten the cable gland securely to achieve IP65/IP66 rating.
- Install the isolating ring
When mounting the connector on a metallic support, position the isolating ring correctly to ensure watertightness. Use the black flat gasket between the isolating ring and the accessory.
- Verify connections
Before powering the system, verify all electrical connections for continuity and ensure that the weight of the cable is supported by the strain relief mechanism.
- Power on and test
Reconnect the power supply and test the connector by inserting the plug into the receptacle until a click is heard. Ensure that the pilot circuit operates correctly.
