Operating Instructions

Mechanical/Electrical Interlock Twist ring closes/opens the pilot circuit and locks/unlocks the latching mechansim which works with a breaker to prevent connection or disconnection under load. ! Hazardous location rating is based on mandatory use of pilot circuit to make and break load on phase contacts.

1

To connect, insert the plug into the receptacle until a click is heard. Rotation of the plug in either direction engages a locking finger, which prevents further rotation.

Silver Contact Material Enables maximum performance and durability – withstands at least 2000 operations.

Latch Release Button Enables disconnection of the plug from the receptacle.

Pilot Connections Integral pilot circuit for controlling the power circuit.

Protective Caps Protect contacts when disconnected.

Phase Label Indicates phase of receptacle.

2

Color Coding Enables quick visual identification of matching plugs/receptacles.

To close the pilot circuit and mechanically lock the plug into the receptacle, turn the ring on the receptacle until the “1” lines up with the arrow. This turns the power on.

Protective Caps Protect contacts when disconnected.
