Troubleshooting
Cable gland does not seal properly (IP rating compromised)
Verify that the cable diameter falls within the 14-21mm sealing range. Ensure the sealing insert is correctly seated and tightened onto the cable. Check that the gland is properly mounted to the enclosure and the seal is intact.
Difficulty in tightening the gland
Ensure the M32 thread on the enclosure is clean and undamaged. Check for any obstructions. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the gland.
Reduced strain relief effectiveness
Confirm that the lock nut is fully tightened, engaging the strain relief mechanism. Ensure the cable is positioned correctly within the gland to allow the strain relief to function.
Visible damage to the gland material
If the polycarbonate or polyamide components are cracked or visibly damaged, the gland must be replaced immediately to maintain safety and protection ratings.
