00:04The PSG 553 R AC cable. Gland consists of six key components,

00:11entry multi single seal, diaphragm, reversible armor clamping ring,

00:17middle nut with patented tightening guide and back nut.

00:21This dual certified cable Gland is designed for use with all types of elastomer and plastic

00:26insulated cables including armored braided and unarmed cable types.

00:34The PSG 553 R AC is especially suitable for cables that exhibit cold flow characteristics

00:41are not effectively filled or have hydroscopic fillers.

00:45Assembly instructions are provided with Hawk cable glands or can be downloaded by the Hawke

00:50website. Allow sufficient length of cable to suit the

00:54equipment that the cable is being terminated into strip the outer sheath and cut the armor

01:00to enable connection of the conductors to the terminal.

01:04Remove a further 20 millimeters of outer sheath for cable glands os to a size and 25

01:10millimeters for B to C size.

01:16First strip the inner sheath back to the end of the armor or braid to allow for the multis

01:21single seal diaphragm to seat inside the spigot, remove any fillers,

01:27plastic or coatings present in the cable if required, prepare any drain wires or

01:33screens as per assembly instructions. 2028 slide,

01:39the back nut, middle nut and armor clamping ring onto the cable

01:49ensure that the orientation of the reversible armor clamping ring is correct with the

01:54arrowhead indicating the correct armor braid or tape pointing to the equipment.

02:00Always refer to the Hawk assembly instructions for guidance on the correct armor clamping

02:04orientation. Please note that alternative rings may be

02:07required if the cable doesn't fall within the R ac standard clamping range,

02:12spread the armor or braid by gently pulling it away from the inner sheath of the cable.

02:17A screwdriver may be required for larger types of cables.

02:20Slide the spigot over the cable, push the armor or braid up to the spigots,

02:26shoulder and slide the clamping ring up to the armor or braid by hand,

02:31ensure the multi single seal diaphragm is removed from the assembly,

02:35slide, the entry over the cable and slide the middle nut up to the entry and hand tighten,

02:42support the cable to prevent it, twisting,

02:51grip the entry with a spanner or wrench and use a second spanner or wrench to tighten half to

02:57three quarters of a return unscrew the middle nut.

03:02The armor clamping ring should now be locked in place.

03:06Visually inspect the armor or braid has been successfully clamped between the spigot and the

03:11armored clamping ring.

03:13If it isn't satisfactory repeat, the previous step, snip the conductors of the

03:20cable to equal lengths and ensure that any sharp edges are removed,

03:27snip the seal at the required cut point for the diameter of the cable cores if

03:34the seal is not fully populated, ensure that the seal tips remain in place for any unused

03:39positions. Hawke recommends that the seals are

03:46populated from the center positions first and are evenly distributed as much as possible to

03:52ensure consistent compression, feed each conductor into the

03:59correct seal position.

04:01It is recommended that you use the symmetry of the conductors in the cable and position in the

04:06opening of the correct diaphragm,

04:14push the multi single seal diaphragm down the conductors until it is properly seated into the

04:20spigot. Ensure each diaphragm cone is in complete

04:23contact with the conductor around the full diameter.

04:27If the seal is ripped during this process and the cone is not in complete contact with the

04:32conductor, then the seal must be replaced.

04:36Use a wrench to fit the entry into the enclosure if required,

04:40fit the appropriate IP washer onto the entry thread.

04:44Depending on the enclosure used. The method of installation will vary.

04:49Slide the cable through the entry until the multis single sealed diaphragm is seated

04:57hand, tighten the middle nut to the entry and add the required number of turns with a wrench.

05:02As stated in the assembly instruction,

05:19tighten the back nut until the seal is formed around the cable.

05:24Use a wrench or spanner to apply one further full turn to the back knut.

05:30Use our patented middle nut tightening guide as an indication that the back nut is in the

05:34correct position to suit the cable diameter. Please note that diameter scale is provided in

05:39our installation instructions to help with this process.

05:42Installation is now complete.
