FLEX MOUNTING:
- Use the cap assembly tool to unscrew the locking ring and remove the plug or socket inserts for wiring.
- As appropriate to the main body type, thread the cable through component parts as shown in the illustrations.
- Strip insulation from cable as required.
- For cable mounted units, slide the gland cage and gland down cable and into the main body.
- Screw the gland nut fully down. It is essential to ensure that the gland nut is fully tightened to ensure the cable is securely sealed and clamped.
