2.2 How to Protect the Interface Connections
All cable connectors not inside the equipment, whether exposed to weather or other-
wise, should be waterproofed and secured after making the connection. By securing
and waterproofing the connections, the IPx2 rating can be maintained. Disconnec-
tions/loosened connections are also prevented.
To waterproof and secure each connection, refer to the procedures outlined below.
For completed connections
Self-vulcanizing tape
1) Wrap the connection, covering approx. 30 mm to either side, with self-vulcanizing tape.
2) Wrap a second layer of self-vulcanizing tape in the opposite direction.

3) Wrap vinyl tape over the self-vulcanizing tape.
The vinyl tape should cover approx. 50 mm to either side of the connection.
