Instrum Termination Procedure

(AI364 Rev: 17)

IMPORTANT NOTE 1. Hawke International does not recommend the use of the InstrumEx Connectors in applications where rigid PVC / SWA /
PVC power cabling is used in portable / semi-portable applications. 2. Hawke Ex Connector products are designed to be used in multi-voltage applications in circuits: 4 / 9 way up to 250V AC, 4
/ 9 way up to 60V DC and 8 way up to 60V AC/DC. It is possible that on certain installations, there may be a mix of applications utilising different voltages on the Connector products. In these instances, the installer / circuit designer must ensure that the plugs and sockets, or their associated cabling, is clearly marked with the correct circuit voltage and current rating to ensure that the equipment being supplied is matched correctly with the supply voltage. The variable insert positions which are a feature of the Connectors may also be used to provide additional means of safety in these applications.

CP / CR PROCEDURE
1) Unscrew the middle nut and back nut from the connector body and remove the armour clamping ring, spigot and insert. If you have purchased a connector with the optional backnut clamp and / or flange, slide these down the cable now (clamp first).

2) Remove the two seal assemblies from the box and choose the required seal to suit the diameter of the cable outer jacket.

Os Size Seal Range = 5.5 ­ 12mm

O, A & B Size Seal O Range = 9.5 ­ 16mm A Range = 12.5 ­ 20.5mm B Range = 16.9 ­ 26mm C Range ­ 22.0 ­ 33mm

3) Insert the seal into the back nut, ensuring that the flange on the seal goes past the thread as shown.

4) Screw the backnut onto the middle nut. Do not compress the seal at this stage.

5) Slide the middle nut, backnut and armour clamping ring over the cable ensuring that the clamping ring is pointing in the required direction for the size of armour / braid. The alternative ring is supplied in the box.

9) Place the connector body over the spigot engaging the octagonal portion of the spigot. Move the middle nut up to meet the connector body. Place a spanner on the flats of the connector body and hold it in position. Hand tighten the middle nut to the connector body, then turn a further ½ to ¾ turn with a spanner.

16) Remove the contacts from the contact retainers. Crimp the contacts onto the conductors using the Hawke crimp tool only (Astro Crip Corp ­ 615708 Crimp Tool M22520/1-01 Large). Ensure that the insulation of the conductor is up against the shoulder of the contact. When terminating 0.5mm² or 1.5mm² wire, ensure the conductor is pushed all the way into the smaller hole of the contact and that the contact is square in the crimp tool.

CAUTION: EXCESSIVE FORCE MAY BEND THE CONTACTS

Alternatively, conductors may be soldered into the contacts. Ensure that the cable installation is the same on the mating half. Hawke recommends that wiring details are placed on the cable outer jacket near to the connector.

19) Slide the insert into the connector body, aligning the half round key on the rear contact retainer with the required half round keyway in the connector body. (The colour coded or numbered keying position is shown on the front of the connector body. No colour coding or numbering for default 12 o'clock position ­ see picture inset). It should be noted that colour coded and numbered connector bodies are mutually interchangeable. Push the octagonal portion of the spigot into the connector body.

23) If the optional cable clamp has been purchased, tighten the screws on the clamping bars equally until the clamping bars touch the cable. Tighten each screw a further 2-4 turns or until adequately clamped.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE CABLE.
If the cable clamp is being used with unarmoured cable, the connector should be earthed via the crimp with a 4mm² conductor.

HOOK UP PROCEDURE

(AI364 Rev: 17)

WARNING: Only the socket insert is allowed to remain energised while de-mated. If being used with bi-directional signals, isolate elsewhere before connecting / disconnecting.

Before commencing hook up, a visual inspection should be carried out on the cable / connector assembly. The assembly should be checked to ensure that all of the assembly components are tight. If the assembly components have loosened during transportation / cable installation, they should be retightened in accordance with the relevant assembly instruction sheets without twisting the cable in the connector assembly.
1) Remove connector caps. 2) Ensure the connectors are both set to the same keying
position colour or numbered (no colour or number for default 12 o'clock position on BR/CR) and are of the same insert type.
It should be noted that colour coded and numbered connector bodies are mutually interchangeable.
INSERT KEY / KEYWAY INDICATES KEYING POSITION

2) Terminate the conductors and earth wire inside the junction box / equipment.

3) The connector may also be earthed externally via the crimp with a 4mm² conductor if required.

3) Engage the CP connector with the BR / CR connector and align the keyway on the CP connector to the key on the BR / CR connector.

4) The connector is now ready for hook up. Please refer to the hook up procedure.

4) Engage the two connectors by screwing the engaging nut clockwise without interruption onto the BR/CR shell. If the threads will not engage, the connectors are set to different keying positions.
ENGAGING NUT
5) If anti-vibration protection is required, tighten the grub screw on the CP shell.
GRUB SCREW
6) To disconnect, slacken the tightened grub screw, turn the engaging nut anti-clockwise and remove the connector. Fit the caps.
SCHEDULE OF LIMITATIONS
 Following disconnection, the energised power supply must only be connected to the connector part incorporating the socket connections.
 The connector part containing the pin connections must not be connected to equipment containing a power supply or energy storage devices likely to cause the plug to remain energised after disconnection.
 The protection caps are to be fitted immediately following separation.
 The bulkhead connector is not to be fitted to the enclosures / bulkheads where the interface temperature may exceed 80°C. In addition, the integral cables shall be mechanically protected.
 When used in dust environments, the bulkhead mounting thread is to be sealed in accordance with the installation code of practice to ensure that an ingress protection level of IP6* is maintained.
 External sources of heating or cooling shall maintain the temperature limits of the equipment.
 Flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.
