Notes on installation
General notes on installation · Unmated connectors must be protected from environmental im-
pact (moisture, dirt, dust, etc) with sealing caps (socket order no 320716; plug order no 320717) · Do not mate contaminated connectors · Connectors must not come into contact with any chemicals

20mm (n = >1)

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 When installing in bundles (n = >1), the temperature ratings of the product and the relevant standards and regulations must be taken into account

Min. 20 mm

Contaminated/damaged connectors: · Do not allow connectors to be contaminated by the environ-
ment (eg soil, water, insects, dust) · Do not allow the connector to be contaminated on its surface
(eg stickers, paint, heat shrink tubing) · Do not allow that the connector is directly on the roofing sur-
face · 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
