The plug can be pushed into the socket and 
pulled out of it only whilst the socket ist 
switched off.

then turned through approx. 45° to the right. 
Thereby the plug is locked in the socket  
(see fig. 2 #2).

For switching off and pulling the plug, proceed 
in inverse order.

After separating the plug from the socket, the 
latter shall be closed with the hinged cover 
and secured with the bayonet ring.  
The plug can be pushed into the socket 
and pulled out of it only whilst the socket is 
switched off. 

In order to ensure the socket’s type of protec-
tion acc. to the type label also with the plug 
being inserted, the bayonet ring of the plug 
(fig. 3, item 3) is turned to its stop onto the 
socket.

5   Installation

For the mounting and operation, the respec-
tive national regulations as well as the general 
rules of engineering will have to be observed.

5.1   Mounting

The wall sockets can be mounted without 
opening their enclosure.

In case the wall sockets are mounted directly 
onto the wall, they may rest evenly only at the 
respective fastening points.  
The  wall mounting bracket could be mounted 
as shown in Fig. 1. The chosen screw shall 
match the fastening hole (see dimensional 
drawing) and it must not damage the hole  
(e. g. use of a washer). The device shall be 
fastened with all 4 screws.

The wall sockets shall be mounted so that the 
plug hole does not  points upwards (fig. 2).

5.2   Opening the device/Electrical  
 connection

The electrical connection of the device may 
only be carried out by skilled staff.

The insulation of the conductors shall reach 
up to the terminal. The conductor  itself shall 
not be damaged. 

Taking into account the respective regulations, 
the properly bared conductors of the cables 
shall be connected.

Assembly is made in inverse order, after the 
cable has been connected. 

The connectible min. and max. conductor 
cross­sections as well as the required 
minimum cross­section for the current 
loading shall be observed (see technical 
data). All screws and/or nuts of the supply 
terminals, also of those remaining vacant, 
shall be tightened down.

The conductors shall be connected with 
special care in order to maintain the 
explosion category. 

The supply terminals are designed for the 
connection of copper conductors. If multi- or 
fine-wire connecting cables are used, the wire 
ends will have to be handled in acc. with the 
applicable national and international rules  
(e. g. use of sleeves for strands). 

Attention: The cable lugs should be crimped 
onto the cable in a workmanlike manner.  
It is to be ensured that the required min. air 
gaps are kept (at 690V >12mm).

6.3  Cable entries (KLE); 
 

blanking plugs

6.3.1 Socket

Generally, only certified cable entries and 
blanking plugs are permitted for use.

In order to ensure the required minimum 
protection category, the cable glands are to be 
tightened down. 

Overtightening might impair the protection 
category.

All vacant metric COOPER CROUSE-HINDS / 
GBCEAG cable entries shall be closed with 
the certified blanking plug for metric cable 
entries. 

Flexible cables shall be used with trumpet­
shaped cable glands or other suitable 
entries with additional pull­relief.

When using cable entries with a lower IP pro-
tection than that which applies to the device, 
the IP protection of the whole device will be 
reduced. The mounting directives applicable to 
the cable entries used shall be observed. 

Unused holes shall be closed with a certified 
blanking plug in order to establish the mini-
mum protection category. In case of sealing 
inserts that are cut out, it shall be ensured 
that the insert is properly adapted to the cable 
diameter. 

Care has to be taken that, when fitting the 
cable entries, sealing inserts appropriate to 
the cable diameter are used.

In order to ensure the required minimum 
protection category, the cable glands are to be 
tightened down. 

Overtightening might impair the protection 
category.

All vacant metric COOPER CROUSE-HINDS / 
CEAG cable entries shall be closed with the 
certified blanking plug for metric cable entries.
