Assign Cable Glands

To assign a cable gland to a project cable:

1. Either double-click in the From or To Glands fields in the Cable Details window, or in the Cable Schedule grid, click the buttons that are displayed when the mouse is hovered over those fields.

2. The Select Cable Gland window is then displayed.

   

   The window displays a list of all glands that can fit the current catalogue cable based on cable Outside Diameter and gland minimum and maximum diameter (a catalogue cable must therefore be assigned before glands are assigned).

   The current cable details are shown in the top text boxes (yellow background).

3. Electrical Wiring Manager filters the cable glands by checking whether the cable outside diameter (Cable OD) defined in the cable catalogue fits within the minimum and maximum OD values in the gland catalogue properties. Electrical Wiring Manager also checks the 'Armoured' flag of the cable type with that of the gland (so that Armoured cables use Armoured glands and vice versa).

   Note:
   Cable Glands are added to a project and edited using the Cable Gland Catalogue grid. Only glands from the Cable Gland Catalogue with 'Allow Use' set will be listed.

4. To select a Cable Gland, double-click on the cable gland record. or select the cable gland record, then click Select.

5. To assign a selected Cable Gland to all cables with the same Cable Catalogue Number, check the Apply to All cables with this Catalogue Number checkbox before selecting the required gland.
