11. 1 Prepare connection
conductors of inlet / flange
socket
Only use cables and conductors specified in
the Technical Data.
With multi-wire or fine-wire connection
leads, the ends of the wires shall be treated
in accordance with the valid national or
international regulations (e.g. the use of wire-
end ferrules).
The insulation of the conductor shall reach up
to the plug pins. The conductor must not be
damaged
The relevant regulations shall be observed to
ensure that the conductors of the cable are
stripped off correctly.
The conductors shall be connected with due
care to ensure that the degree of protection is
maintained.
1. Strip off ca. 8 mm of insulation from all
cable conductors.
2
If required, fit wire-end ferrules on to all
conductors and crimp on using crimping tool.
11.2 Screw in inlet / flange
socket
Inlets or flange sockets shall only be built into
enclosures intended for this purpose.
The threaded holes in the flameproof
enclosure shall fulfil the minimum
requirements of EN 50018, Section 5.3,
Table 3.

To ensure the explosion protection, only fit
inlets and flange sockets made of metal in
the appropriate type of protection into the
threaded holes of flameproof enclosures.
The screw-in thread must not be dirty or
damaged.
Only use the seal inserts provided in the inlet
or flange socket.
When screwing in the inlet or flange socket,
pay attention to the connected conductors
to ensure that the insulation is not
damaged in the process.
The screw-in components shall be
tightened down in such a way (hand-tight)
that they are properly sealed (see
Technical Data for test torque).
Before use, ensure that inlets and flange
sockets are not damaged.
The inlets and flange sockets shall be
incorporated in the earth potential.
1 Fit inlet or flange socket with anti-twist
protection (7), (test torque -> Technical
Data).
2. Tighten anti-twist screw (8).
3. Fit inlet or flange socket with anti-twist
protection (7), (test torque -> Technical
Data).
4. If required, lock connector system
(Optional padlocking facility available ->
Accessories).
