terminal enclosure. Each cable that enters the enclosure has been assigned a specific location. The
location of each of the glands and plugs is shown in Figure 3-16.
To ensure a watertight and dust tight seal:
1. Pass the appropriately sized cable through the correct gland before connecting the wires.
1. When making cable terminations inside the harsh enclosure, ensure that the cable length from
2. Cables that include shields should have the shield terminated at the gland as shown in Figure

NOTE: When installing the fiber optic interface option, a special split grommet is provided
to seal around the fiber optic cables.
IMPORTANT: Use only ATEX certified glands and blanks with the IND560x harsh terminal
the terminal strip/connector to the terminal housing is sufficient so that no strain is placed on
the connector assembly when the housing is in the fully open position.
3-17. Spread the shield wires out and make sure enough shield wire is present to make good
contact with the metal part of the gland.
NOTE: The shield of the cable from the IND560x to the ACM500 must not be terminated at
the ACM500 end. The shield must be left open at the ACM500 end of the cable.
