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 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). Connect these conductors 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 to a torque of approximately 70 N·m (95 ft-lbs).

  5. Assemble the connector

    Attach the handles to 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

    Position the isolating ring correctly when assembling the SPeX on a metallic support to ensure watertightness.

  7. Verify connections

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the pilot circuit and ensure all connections are secure before energizing the system.

  8. Test the installation

    Once all connections are verified, re-energize the system and test the functionality of the SPeX connector to ensure it operates correctly.
