How to Install the SPeX Single-Pole Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and wiring the SPeX single-pole connector for use in explosive atmospheres.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Crimping tool, 24 mm wrench, 19 mm wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Silicone ring, Color-coded rings, Isolating ring

  1. Prepare the installation site

    Ensure that all power sources are disconnected before beginning the installation to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.

  2. Insert the cable

    Insert the cable through the cable gland and the handle or through the inclined sleeve, ensuring it is properly positioned for secure attachment.

  3. Wire the pilot circuit

    Use flexible conductors with a cross-sectional area between 0.5 and 1 mm² (16 to 20 AWG) and connect them to the microswitch wires using the supplied isolated crimping lugs.

  4. Wire the main conductor

    Strip the main conductor by 1.8 inches (46 mm) and crimp the threaded lug or ferrule with the appropriate tool. Tighten the connection with a 24 mm wrench to a torque of approximately 70 N·m (95 ft-lbs).

  5. Assemble the connector

    Assemble the handles onto the body of the connector using the supplied gaskets and screws. Ensure the cable gland is tightened appropriately to achieve IP65/IP66 rating.

  6. Install the isolating ring

    When mounting the SPeX connector on a metallic support, position the isolating ring correctly and ensure the black flat gasket is used to guarantee watertightness.

  7. Final checks

    Verify that all connections are secure, check the mounting screws for tightness, and ensure that the weight of the cable is supported by the strain relief mechanism.
