4. Connect the conductors (except the grounding
conductor) into each contact wire well by either
crimp (preferred) or solder method, following
the established system wiring pattern. Grounding
conductors are not crimped or soldered, but held
securely with two pressure connector screws; torque
screws to 50-100 in.-lb.
Crimp Connection:
Proper crimp termination may require the use of a wire
well reducer to ensure a complete metal fill in the
crimped joint. Tables 2 and 3 list the various wire well
reducers and crimping dies to be used with each wire
well contact and conductor size.
Figure 5. Wire Well Reducer
Select the proper wire well reducer if required, ad insert
into the contact wire well.
Insert the conductor and
crimp connection in two places using a Thomas & Betts
hex crimp die recommended in Tables 2 and 3. Crimp
near bottom of wire well first making sure that the
reducer is fully inserted in wire well.

The contact must

Solder Connection:
Reliable solder connections require the use of proper
soldering techniques.
Remove insulation from conductor as shown in Figure 4
and wire brush contact wire well.
Hold contact in insulated vise with wire well in upright
position. Heat and pre-tin wire well using a 60-40 rosin
core solder. Do not fill well with solder.
NOTE: A high heat source (750° F) is required for good
soldering. Use a high current resistance type. A torch
may be used only if the surrounding conductor insulation
is adequately protected.

gasket is properly positioned between the receptacle

SPRING DOOR / EYEBOLT INSTALLATION
The AR Series Receptacle protective spring loaded
door should be properly positioned. Door position may
be adjusted by loosening the two clamp ring screws
and then sliding the door assembly into place. Refer to
Figure 9. Retighten the two screws to 25-35 in. lbs.
making sure that the door gasket is flat against the
housing flange when closed.
AR Series Receptacles used with plugs that do not
have threaded clamp nuts, require eyebolts (supplied
with AR Series Receptacles) installed on clamp ring of
spring door. Remove the two clamp ring screws, place
eyebolts between clamp ring halves then replace the
camp ring screws back through the eyes of the eye-
bolts. Insert a plug into the receptacle and adjust the
clamping ring so that the eyebolts are aligned with the
bosses on the plug. Retighten the clamp ring screws
to 25-30 in lbs. making sure that the spring door gasket
is flat against the housing flange when the plug is
removed. Refer to Figure 9.

SPECIAL FEATURES
AR Series Receptacles with special features are identi-
fied through the addition of a suffix to the catalog num-
ber:
Suffix S4: Receptacle interior is rotated 22 1/2
degrees for special polarity application.
Suffix S22: Reversed contacts: Receptacle is assem-
bled with exposed female contacts. S22 suffix for reverse
interiors is available from factory only. Field conversion
cannot be done.
AR Series Receptacles with special features such as
reversed contacts (Suffix S22) and rotated interiors
(Suffix S4) are compatible only with plugs built with the
same special feature. Always compare catalog num-
bers located on unit nameplate if in doubt.
ELECTRICAL TESTING
Do not connect to power until the following electrical
tests have been performed:
• Make continuity of checks of wiring to verify correct
Grounding
phasing and grounding connections.
Strap
• Check insulation resistance to be sure system does
not have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
NOTE: The National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) Publication No. PB1.1-1979
indicates an insulation resistance of less than 1
megohm on an open circuit is an unsafe condition
that must be investigated and corrected prior to
turning the power on.
