A2LDSF Type Cable Glands - for unarmoured and braided cable - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
0518
Brief Description
Peppers A2LDSF type cable glands are for outdoor use in the appropriate Hazardous Areas with unarmoured, braided or armoured cable,
where the braid or armour is to be terminated inside the enclosure. They seal on the outer jacket, and give environmental protection to IP68.
They are suitable for normal industrial environments of temperature, humidity and vibration. Construction materials include steel, brass,
aluminium alloy, and neoprene, nitrile and silicone rubbers. To minimise galvanic corrosion, the metallic gland components are made from
similar materials. Material compatibility under chemical corrosion or attack by aggressive substance must be considered before installation.
Warning
PLEASE STUDY CAREFULLY BOTH PAGES OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION. These glands should not be used in any
application other than those mentioned here, unless Peppers states in writing that the product is suitable for such application. Peppers can take
no responsibility for any damage, injury or other consequential loss caused where the glands are not installed or used according to these
instructions. This leaflet is not intended to advise on the selection of cable glands. Further guidance can be found in the standards listed
overleaf.
STEP-BY-STEP FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

A Check there is no tension in the threads.
B Remove [1] if not required. Fit sealing washer if required.
C Fit the complete cable gland to the enclosure by tightening [2]. DO NOT EXCEED MAX TORQUE FOR THE ENCLOSURE THREAD. At
all stages, if necessary use 2nd spanner on [2] to avoid stripping enclosure thread.
D Prepare cable end as required.
E Insert cable through cable gland. Position the cable correctly. BOTH internal seals must grip the outer jacket of the cable when the cable
gland is tightened.
F Tighten [3] to [2] and [4] to [3]. FOR CORRECT TORQUE SEE PAGE 2.

Installation Guidance
Point Advice
1 ♦ BS EN 60079-10:1996 Classification of Hazardous Areas
♦ BS EN 60079-14:1997 Electrical Installations in hazardous areas (other than mines)
♦ BS 6121, Part 5:1993 Selection, Installation and Maintenance of Cable Glands
2 Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician, skilled in cable gland installation.
3 NO INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT UNDER LIVE CONDITIONS.
4 An O-ring or sealing washer should always be used with enclosures rated at above IP54. If a star washer is used, it should not be installed in such a
way that it reduces the IP rating. Standard A2LDSF type glands are supplied with an O-ring. Also see page 1 diagram and Hole Data above.
5 The surface of the enclosure should be sufficiently flat and rigid to make both the IP joint, and (where necessary) a suitable earth contact. In the case
of painted enclosures, a star washer should be fitted to break through the paint and make a satisfactory earth contact.
6 Once installed do not dismantle except for occasional inspection. If necessary, dismantle by reversing the instructions on page 1. The gland is not
serviceable and spare parts are not supplied.
7 Parts are not interchangeable with any other design. If manufacturers' parts are mixed, certification will be invalidated.
Limitations on Usage. Be sure your installation complies with the following:-

Feature Comment
Enclosure entry The female thread in the enclosure must comply with clause 5.3 of EN 50018:2000, or clause 4.3 of IEC 79-1, as appropriate. Do not
thread damage threads on assembly. Check the number of full turns of thread engaged is at least 5 (at least 6 for taper threads).
Cable construction The glands should only be used with substantially round and compact cables with extruded bedding (i.e. effectively filled cables).
EExe/Exe enclosures If A2LDS glands are used in a non-metallic increased safety enclosure, they must be included in the earth circuit of the system.
