Power Termination Procedure (AI365 Rev 5 – 01Mar16)
CP / CR PROCEDURE
1) Terminate the cable into the Exd cable gland as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. Consider at this stage the
relative position of the phases.
2) Cut the conductors to the lengths shown.
(For earth conductors which are being terminated to the
earth ring (see step 6) but not carried through the
contact, cut back X = 100mm for all sizes, see 10 - 13)
3) Strip back the insulation as shown. (For all earth
conductors terminated via the internal earth ring, cut
back the insulation flush with the gland entry thread, see
10 - 13).
4) Unscrew the rear engaging nut from the CP / CR shell.
Remove the rear shell, spacer tube and insert from the
CP / CR shell.
5) a) CONTACT SIZES 50 - 240mm².
Remove the screws from the front of the contacts
only and push the crimp lugs out of the insert.
b) CONTACT SIZES 300 – 630mm².
Remove the screw from the plastic housing and
remove the contact from inside.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Hawke International does not recommend the use of their Power Connectors in applications where rigid PVC / SWA / PVC
power cabling (typically to BS 6346 standards) is used in portable / semi-portable applications.
In addition, Hawke recommends that barrier type glands are fitted to flexible power and loose filled control cabling entering the
connectors to maintain the Exd protection concept and to reduce the potential for core movements within the cable being
transferred to the connector’s internal components.

Power Termination Procedure (AI365 Rev 5 – 01Mar16)
6) Remove the internal earth ring from the rear shell sub
assembly by backing off the 2 grub screws on the flats. If
internal earthing is not required, the internal earth ring
assembly along with the fixing grub screws should be
discarded.
7) Crimp the lugs or contacts onto the conductors
(excluding internal earth wire if being used) using
suitable crimp tool. (Hawke recommend Elpress crimp
tools). Contact sizes of 185mm² and larger should be
adjacently double crimped as shown.
8) Feed the conductors through the rear shell assembly and
screw this onto the cable gland entry thread ensuring
the sealing washer is present.
9) Measure the distance from the front of the rear shell to
the end of the crimp lug (50 – 240mm²) or contact (300 -
630mm²). It should be as shown. If not, remove the rear
shell and add or remove the spacer washers supplied to
get the required length. At least 1 washer must be
present to maintain IP rating.
Internal earth procedure (skip to step 13 if not used or
you have single phase connector).
10) Slide the internal earth ring down over the conductors
with the lug going over the bare earth wire.
11) Position the internal earth ring inside the rear shell and
tighten the grub screws into the groove on the earth
ring. Excessive force could distort rear shell.

12) Tighten the 2 grub screws on the internal earth lug into
the earth conductor as tight as possible so that the earth
wire is sufficiently clamped. If earth is to be carried
through to a contact, crimp contact prior to tightening
grub screws.
13) Slide the spacer tube over the conductors and onto the
rear shell.
14) a) CONTACT SIZES 50 - 240mm².
Push the insert assembly fully onto the crimp lugs.
The insert should push inside the spacer tube. Refit
the 4 screws into the ends of the contacts. Ensure
these are fully tightened.
b) CONTACT SIZES 300 – 630mm².
Push the rear retainer over the contact. Place the
split tube around the contact. Slide the front contact
retainer over the contact and split tube. Slide the
rear contact retainer over the rear of the contact and
tighten the screw fully.
15) Slide the CP / CR shell over the insert and line the yellow
dot on the insert up with the required keying position 1
to 5 marked on the CP / CR shell.
16) Screw the rear engaging nut fully onto the CP / CR shell.
Measure the distance between the front of the rear
engaging nut to the back of the engaging nut which
should be no greater than the distance shown.

17) Tighten down the 2 grub screws on the rear engaging
nut.
18) Terminate the equipotential external earth to the ring
terminal crimp provided if applicable. Remove the
button head screw, spring washer and crimp from the
rear engaging nut. Crimp the external earth wire into the
crimp and reassemble.
19) Refit the protective or flameproof cap if applicable.
20) The connector is now ready for installation. Please refer
to the hook up procedure.
HOOK UP PROCEDURE
Before commencing hook up, a visual inspection should be
carried out on the cable / gland / connector assembly. The
assembly should be checked to ensure that all of the
assembly components are tight. If the assembly components
have loosened during transportation / cable installation, they
should be retightened in accordance with the relevant
assembly instruction sheets without twisting the cable in the
cable gland / connector assembly. No hazardous gases
should be present.
1) Turn off the power to the connectors.
2) Ensure the connectors are both set to the same keying
position number, are of the same insert type and phase
orientation.
3) Engage the CP connector with the BR / CR connector and
align the key on the CP connector to the keyway on the
BR / CR connector.
4) Engage the two connectors by screwing the engaging
nut clockwise onto the BR/CR shell. If the engaging nut
will not screw on more than half a turn, then the
connectors are set to different keying positions.

5) Fully tighten the engaging nut with strap wrench if
necessary and then tighten the grub screw on the
engaging nut.
6) To disconnect, turn off the power (no hazardous gases
should be present), slacken the tightened grub screw,
turn the engaging nut anti-clockwise and remove the
connector. If power is to be put through the connectors
whilst demated, then a flameproof cap (available
separately) must be fitted.
SCHEDULE OF LIMITATIONS
These connectors must be electrically isolated before
any attempt is made to remove the covers or join or
separate the two halves.
When separated the metal flameproof caps (not the
acetal environmental caps) shall be fitted and locked
before any associated supply cables are re-energised.
The cable entry devices selected for use with the in-line
connectors shall provide a mechanical cable retention
facility appropriate to the cable type and conditions of
service.
When used in dust environments the cable entry threads
shall be sealed in accordance with the installation code
of practice to ensure that an ingress protection level of
IP6X is maintained.
Flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.
