Notes on installation
General notes on installation
- Unmated connectors must be protected from environmental impact (moisture, dirt, dust, etc.) with sealing caps (socket order no. 32.0716; plug order no. 32.0717).
- Do not mate contaminated connectors.
- Connectors must not come into contact with any chemicals.
Cable routing
Cable management must allow a minimum of 20 mm of cable that exits directly
from the cable seal without bending or stress. Refer to cable manufacturers
specification for minimum bending radius.
Contaminated/damaged connectors:
- Do not allow connectors to be contaminated by the environment (e.g. soil, water, insects, dust).
- Do not allow the connector to be contaminated on its surface (e.g. stickers, paint, heat shrink tubing)
- Do not allow that the connector is directly on the roofing surface.
- Do not allow that the connector is at the lowest point of cabling where water can collect
- Do not allow that the connector is in standing water
- Do not allow that cable ties to be mounted directly on the connector body.
Mechanical stress:
- Check that the connectors are not subjected to a permanent mechanical tensile load or vibration
- Connectors shall not be under strain from cable management
