EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this Certificate are as follows:

The cable glands type EX**C1, EX**C3 and EX**C1LS have trademark "KOPEX-Ex"

The cable glands series EX**C1, EX**C3 and EX**C1LS are suitable for inserting circular cables into Ex db enclosures having threaded
entries and Ex eb or Ex tb enclosures having either threaded or plane entries. Attachment of the glands to an enclosure is by means of the
male threaded portion on the male body. An elastomeric inner sealing ring is used in each gland type to facilitate sealing between the cable
and gland body and to clamp the cable to prevent pulling or twisting forces being transmitted to the conductor connections.

The types EX**C3 glands are designed for non-armoured cables and are comprised of a male body, inner sealing ring, pressure ring and cap.

The types EX**C1 glands are designed for steel wire armour or shielded cables, while the type EX**C1LS is suitable for lead sheathed
armoured cables only.

The cable glands characteristics are further described in the Annexe of this certificate.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE: YES as shown below:

• The coupling of the cable glands with the enclosures shall be made as indicated by the manufacturer in the documents annexed to this
certificate in order to respect the type of protection of the electrical apparatus on which cable glands are mounted.
• The cable glands shall be mounted at the electrical apparatus in such a way that accidental rotation and loosening will be prevented.
• The cable glands shall be installed in such a way that the temperature at the mounting point will remain within the following service
temperature ranges:
• -40°C to +100°C with inner sealing rings made of Chloroprene (Neoprene).
• -60°C to +130°C with inner sealing rings made of Silicon rubber.
• restricted up to -20°C for cable glands made of galvanized carbon steel.
• The degree of protection IP 66/68 according to the IEC 60529 standard will be guaranteed for the cable glands if the holes into which
cable glands are mounted are suitably sealed. To this scope the correct positioning of the gaskets (for cylindrical threads) or the
application of sealant on the threads (for tapered threads), shall be done as indicated in the manufacturer instruction.

Electrical Apparatus: Cable glands, Type EX**C1, EX**C3 and EX**C1LS

General product information:

The cable glands type EX**C1, EX**C3 and EX**C1LS have trademark "KOPEX-Ex"
The cable glands series EX**C1, EX**C3 and EX**C1LS are suitable for inserting circular cables into Ex db
enclosures having threaded entries and Ex eb or Ex tb enclosures having either threaded or plane entries.
Attachment of the glands to an enclosure is by means of the male threaded portion on the male body. An
elastomeric inner sealing ring is used in each gland type to facilitate sealing between the cable and gland body
and to clamp the cable to prevent pulling or twisting forces being transmitted to the conductor connections.
Ingress protection of IP66/68 (50 m for 30 min.) is maintained when the glands are installed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. The cable glands should be also used for intrinsically safe circuits Ex-i.
These cable glands should have a part painted light blue.
The types of EX**C3 glands are designed for non-armoured cables and are comprised of a male body, inner
sealing ring, pressure ring and cap. When the cap is screwed onto the male body, the pressure ring comprises
the lower sealing ring onto the outer sheath of the cable and realizes the clamp.
The types of EX**C1 glands are designed for steel wire armour or shielded cables, while the type of EX**C1LS
is suitable for lead sheathed armoured cables only. They are comprised of a male body, lower sealing ring,
grounding cone, swivel braid retainer, middle body, upper sealing ring and cap. For type EX**C1LS only are
used a further contact spring and a metal washer to ground the lead sheath. When the middle body is screwed
onto the male body the cable wire armour is clamped between the swivel braid retainer and the grounding
cone and the lower sealing ring is compressed onto the inner sheath of the cable. Sealing of the cable outer
sheath is facilitated by the upper sealing ring which is compressed onto the outer sheath when the cap is
screwed onto the middle body.
The inner sealing rings can be made of Chloroprene with operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C
or Silicon rubber with operating temperature range from -60°C to +130°C, except for cable glands made of
galvanized carbon steel which are restricted to the lower temperature range of -20°C.
The types of EX**C3 glands standard thread types are NPT ANSI ASME B1.20.1 from 3/8” up to 3” and
cylindrical ISO Metric 965/1 and ISO 965/3 from M16x1.5 up to M90X1.5.
The types of EX**C1 glands standard thread types are NPT ANSI ASME B1.20.1 from 1/4” up to 3 1/2” and
cylindrical ISO Metric 965/1 and ISO 965/3 from M12x1.5 up to M110X1.5.
The types of EX**C1LS glands standard thread types are NPT ANSI ASME B1.20.1 from 1/2” up to 3” and
cylindrical ISO Metric 965/1 and ISO 965/3 from M20x1.5 up to M90X1.5.
Alternative available tapered threads are GAS UNI ISO 7/1 while cylindrical threads are GAS UNI ISO 228/1,
N.P.S.M. and type PG DIN 40430. Thread type PG DIN 40430 can be used for “Ex eb” execution only.
To guarantee the IP 66/68 degree of protection the cable glands with cylindrical threads have a
sealing edge machined for fitting an elastomeric gasket, while for all other threads the IP 66/68 degree
of protection is achieved with sealant put at least on two complete threads engaged of the threaded
coupling.
The cable glands are generally made in Brass (CuZn39Pb3 or CuZn42). The alternative material Nickel
brass plated (CuZn39Pb3 EN 12164), Galvanized carbon steel (FE36; FE37 UNI 10233/4) or
Stainless steel (AISI316; AISI304; AISI303) can be supplied.
In addition, the cable glands can be supplied with an anti-tearing nut, only if specifically required by the
purchaser.
