Special Conditions for Safe Use
1. The cable glands shall not be used in enclosures
where the temperature, at the point of mounting,
is outside the range of -60° C to +135° C.
2. The entry component threads will be suitably
sealed using a method that is applicable to the
associated equipment to which the gland will
be attached. This will be in accordance with the
relevant installation code of practice and will ensure
that any ingress protection and restricted breathing
sealing requirements are maintained.
