Safety Instructions

Improper installation can cause malfunctioning and the loss of explosion protection.
Cable glands can only be used within the specified ambient temperature range and must be installed in a manner that maintains the specified ingress protection rating.
Use in areas other than those areas specified or the modification of the product by anyone other than the manufacturer is not permitted and exempts Rockwell Automation from liability for defects and any further liability.
The applicable statutory rules and other binding directives that relate to workplace safety, accident prevention, and environmental protection must be observed.
Before you commission or restart operator, check compliance with all applicable laws and directives.
All cable gland kits can only be used if they are in a clean and undamaged condition. Do not modify these components in any way.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
The cable glands must be mounted at the electrical apparatus in a way that helps prevent accidental rotation and loosening. The cable glands are only suitable for fixed installations. Cables must be effectively clamped to help prevent pulling or twisting.
WARNING: For gas and dust installations: Potential electrostaticcharging hazard. Clean only with anti-static cloths
The certificate does not cover hazards that come from environmental conditions different from the hazards clearly and precisely indicated in EN 60079-0 Clause 1.
Standards Certified To (800G “-EX” Assembled Station)
• EN 60079-0 • EN 60079-1 • EN 60079-7 • EN 60079-31

Assemble, Install, and Commission

ATTENTION: Risk of serious injury due to incorrect assembly, installation, and commissioning

  • Only qualified personnel are allowed to assemble, disassemble, install, and commission the device.
  • Protect devices against mechanical damage or electrostatic discharge.
  • Use suitable tools and install cable firmly.
  • Use cable that is rated with an appropriate temperature range suitable for the application.

General Assembly

In hazardous areas, the cable glands must be used in the following ways:

  • In appropriate enclosures with “Ex e” increased safety type of protection. The clearance and creepage distances under IEC/ EN 60079-7 Clauses 4.3 and 4.4 must be observed.
  • In an enclosure that corresponds to another approved type of protection that is specified in IEC/EN 60079-0 Clause 1.
  • Within an 800G “-EX” assembled station that has been drilled/tapped at the manufacturing facility. Field modification of 800G “-EX” enclosures is not permitted and voids all certifications and hazardous location ratings.

Plastic Cable Gland Installation

Follow these steps to install the plastic cable gland:

  1. Verify that the cable gland and earth bracket are intact with no physical damage.

  2. Thread the cable gland onto the appropriately sized opening on the top or bottom of the Bulletin 800G “-EX” enclosure, verifying that the red sealing washer is between the cable gland body and the 800G “-EX” enclosure.

  3. Tighten the gland to the following torque range:
    • M20 cable glands — 1.5…2.5 N•m (13.3…22.1 lb•in)
    • M25 cable glands — 2.0…3.0 N•m (17.7…26.6 lb•in)

  4. Remove the red dust plug and route the field cable through the seal of the cable gland. Adjust the free length of the cable so it can connect to all back-of-panel components inside of the enclosure.

  5. Position the earth bracket where the cable gland is installed (top or bottom) and push the earth bracket between the rib and inside wall of the enclosure.

  6. Open the terminal cages of the earth bracket and insert the conductors that must be grounded.

  7. Tighten the earth bracket terminals to a torque range of 0.7…1.0 N•m (6…9 lb•in).

  8. Tighten the cable gland cap to the following torque range:
    • M20 cable glands — 5.5…6.5 N•m (48.7…57.5 lb•in)
    • M25 cable glands — 8.0…10.0 N•m (70.8…88.5 lb•in)

Follow these steps to install the metal cable gland:

IMPORTANT When completing steps 4, 5, 9, 10, and 13 for the two M20S metal cable glands configuration, verify that the first cable gland is oriented as shown before installing the second cable gland. This orientation allows for both the proper threading and installation of the cable glands.

  1. Verify that the cable gland and earth plate are intact with no physical damage.

  2. Position the earth plate where the cable gland will be installed (top or bottom of enclosure) and push the earth plate between the rib and inside wall of the enclosure.

  3. Separate the lower body assembly and middle body assembly from one another, verifying that the lower sealing ring and grounding cone are on the lower body assembly of the cable gland.

  4. Thread the lower body assembly of the cable gland onto the opening at the top or bottom of the 800G “-EX” or 800G c-UL-us enclosure, verifying that the O-ring is between the cable gland and the enclosure.

  5. Tighten the lower body of the cable gland to the following torque:
    • M20 cable glands — 16.2…19.8 N•m (143…175 lb•in)
    • M25 and M20S cable glands — 18…22 N•m (159…195 lb•in)

  6. Insert the field cable through the middle body assembly of the cable gland. Adjust the free length of the cable so it can connect to all back-of-panel components inside of the enclosure.

  7. If the field cable has armor or shielding, the length of the armor or shielding must be no more than the height of the grounding cone plus 2 mm (0.08 in.).

  8. If the field cable has armor, distribute it evenly along the outer conical circumference of the grounding cone.

  9. Insert the field cable through the lower body assembly of the cable gland. Begin to thread the middle body assembly onto the lower body assembly.

  10. Tighten the middle body to the following torque ranges:
    • M20 cable glands — 13.5…16.5 N•m (119…146 lb•in)
    • M25 and M20S cable glands — 16.2…19.8 N•m (143…175 lb•in)

  11. Open the terminal cages of the earth plate and insert the conductors that must be grounded.

  12. Tighten the earth plate terminals to a torque range of 0.7…1.0 N•m (6…9 lb•in).

  13. Tighten the cable gland cap to the following torque:
    • M20 cable glands — 13.5…16.5 N•m (119…146 lb•in)
    • M25 and M20S cable glands — 16.2…19.8 N•m (143…175 lb•in)
