NOTICE: In order to maintain IP66/IP67 protection in
custom installations, watertight seals must be used
under the heads of the four mounting bolts and they
must be retained by a lock washer and nut on the inside
of the box or panel. Alternatively, four blind holes can
be drilled and threaded to accommodate #8-32 x 5/8"
mounting screws. The hole depth must be sufficient to
achieve adequate gasket compression.
Achieving rated watertightness
Rated IP66 /IP67 watertightness to is achieved when
the plug and receptacle are mated. When disconnected,
the receptacle cap must be fully inserted with the slot
in the cap aligned with the protruding 'button'.
The plug cap must be pressed firmly into place.
NOTICE: Proper steps must be taken to maintain
watertightness at threaded connections on the plug
handles or at the junction box. The use of a sealer tape
is recommended.
Attaching the handle
Insert cable through cable gland and handle before
tightening the phase conductor. Assemble handle with
the screws and gasket supplied, (use short screws for
inlets, long screws for receptacles) and tighten cable
gland with an appropriate tool.
NOTICE: MELTRIC threaded lugs are required for use
with handles.
Attaching the metal angle (if required)
Attach receptacle or inlet to metal angle using the
screws and gasket supplied, (use short screws for
inlets, long screws for receptacles).
metal angle to ground. Apply a torque of 17 in-lbs
(2 N.m.) to each screw.
Assembly of the plug/inlet cap
Attach the cap to the plug /inlet by retaining the end of
the chain under one of the mounting screws.
Gasket
In order to achieve rated watertightness, the flat black
gasket must be installed between the inlet or receptacle
and the panel or accessory to which itis attached.
When assembling the inlet or receptacle to the side of
an enclosure, the isolating ring must be positioned as
indicated on Figure 1.

However, it is a good practice to periodically perform
the following general inspections:
• Check the mounting screws for tightness.
• Verify that the weight of the cable is supported
by the strain relief mechanism and not by the
terminal connections.
For
• Check the IP gaskets for wear and resiliency.
Replace as required.
WARNING
• Verify the electrical continuity of the ground circuit.
DANGER
• Check the contact surfaces for cleanliness

and pitting.
NOTICE
Use a clean cloth to rub off deposits of dust or similar

foreign materials on the contacts and the plug interiors.
DANGER
Sprays should not be used, as they tend to collect dirt.
CAUTION
If any significant pitting of the contacts or other serious
damage is observed, the device should be replaced.
