Instructions for safe use
Brief Description
The KDSW & KDSX type cable gland is for outdoor
use in the appropriate Hazardous Areas with
armoured cable. It gives environmental protection
to IP66 and IP68. A termination suitable for EMC
protection can be made using armoured cables with
these glands. KDSW type clamp steel wire armour
and KDSX types clamp woven steel wire and steel
tape armours.
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 or in our Data

Special Conditions for Safe Use
1. These glands must not be used with enclosures
where the temperature at the point of mounting
exceeds -35°C to +90°C using neoprene seals,
or –60° to +180°C using silicone seals.
2. These glands, when installed in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions and with an
appropriate enclosure on which they are fixed, are
capable of providing an ingress protection of IP66
and IP68 (50 metres 7 days)
3. If these cable glands only grip the cable sheath of
the cable and do not clamp the cable armour or if
they are used to terminate unarmoured, braided
or screened cables, then they shall only be used
for fixed installations, hence the cables shall be
effectively clamped to prevent pulling or twisting.
4. Where glands without sealing rings are installed in
protection by enclosure (Ex t) equipment for use
in explosive dust atmospheres, they shall only be
fitted into enclosures offering a minimum of 5 full
threads, in accordance with EN 60079-31:2014
clause 5.1.2.
