1.5 Product marking
1.5.1 Connectors and Penetrators
Figure 2 - Example Etching for SpecTRON 45 Products
Siemens Energy SpecTRON 45 connectors and penetrators are laser marked on the gland body with
the Siemens Energy part number, unique serial number, and product rating information.
Additionally, connector front-ends are also marked with their part number and unique serial number
to aid traceability during manufacturing.
1.5.2 Harnesses
Harnesses are also marked with the Siemens Energy part number and unique serial number as shown
in Figure 3. Client and project specific information is also usually added to these labels. Labels are
typically black text on a yellow background underneath clear heat shrink. Typically, labels are located
at each end of the harness and centrally.
Figure 3 - Example harness marking
1.6 CE label/marking
SpecTRON 45 is exempt from any current requirement for CE marking. Siemens Energy continue to
monitor European and International requirements for applicability to the SpecTRON 45 product

4SPECIFICATION AND RESIDUAL HAZARDS
The following is the typical specification for SpecTRON 45 connectors and penetrators with 630 mm²,
26/45(52) kV jumper cable and will differ for connectors terminated to umbilical power cores or
internal pigtails, and in other situations. For connector specific information, please refer to product
specific datasheets. These are available via the Siemens Energy website http://www.siemens-

4.2 Misalignment capability of wet mate connectors
For any wet mate pair, one connector must be rigidly mounted using a fixed mount kit, and the other
half compliantly mounted. Siemens Energy Subsea offer two compliant kits which differ in the
amount of compliance they offer. Allowable misalignments are defined relative to the mounting
mounts in the plates in the mating/stab tool, rather than the connectors themselves. This is to
simplify designing mating interfaces and remove the requirement for calculation of connector
positions.
Figure 5 - Definition of misalignment directions
The radial misalignment and angular misalignment are interdependent, any increase in angular
misalignment reduces the allowable radial misalignment, and vice-versa. With no angular
misalignment, a standard kit offers 17,5 mm maximum radial compliance, and an extended kit offers
35 mm maximum radial compliance. This relationship is shown in the graph below.
Table 4 – SpecTRON 45 Connector Misalignment Capability
The recommended design points for maximum combined misalignment for the compliant mount kits
are:
•Standard Kit, 5 mm radial, 1° angular
•Extended Kit, 10 mm radial, 2° angular

5HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
5.1 Environmental, disposal and recycling
Safe disposal or recycling of waste packaging and/or end of life product is recommended by correctly,
observing and complying with area, regional, national or international environmental legislation
where applicable.
To return waste packaging and/or end of life product to the manufacturer, contact the Product Safety
Officer at [e-mail].
Hazardous substances, Control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH) Assessments regards to
materials such as elastomers and oils, etc. used in SpecTRON 45 products are available on request
from the Product Safety Officer at [e-mail].
5.2 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is legally defined as ‘all equipment (including clothing affording
protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work and which
protects the user against one or more risks to their health or safety’.
In the hierarchy of risk control, PPE is considered to rank lowest and represent the option of last
resort. PPE is only appropriate where the hazard in question cannot be totally removed or controlled
in such a way that harm is unlikely (for example by isolating the hazard or reducing the risk at source
to an acceptable level).
All company personnel and operators should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
defined as a result of relevant risk assessments in accordance with the Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) Regulations.
Warning. Risk of minor personal injury to persons with sensitivities to mineral, silicone, or
synthetic based oil
s.
-
Wear appropriate hand protection when handling products, mineral, silicone,
or synthetic
based oils.
