How to Install the SPeX Connector

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

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter, Wrench set

Supplies needed:

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

  1. Prepare the installation site

    Ensure that all power sources are disconnected before beginning the installation. Verify that the installation area complies with local and national electrical codes.

  2. Insert the cable

    Insert the cable through the cable gland and the handle or inclined sleeve. Ensure that the cable is properly seated and does not exert any force on the receptacle.

  3. Wire the pilot circuit

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

  4. Wire the main conductors

    Strip the main conductors by 46 mm (1.8 inches) and crimp the threaded lug or ferrule using the appropriate tool. Tighten the connection 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. Tighten the cable gland securely to achieve the required IP65/IP66 rating.

  6. Install the isolating ring

    When mounting the SPeX on a metallic support, position the isolating ring correctly to ensure watertightness. Use the black flat gasket between the isolating ring and the accessory.

  7. Verify connections

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the pilot circuit and ensure that all connections are secure and correctly wired.

  8. Final assembly and testing

    Reassemble any protective caps and ensure that the installation is complete. Test the system to confirm that it operates correctly and safely.
