Wiring

 WARNING

Electrical power must be turned OFF before and during installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result in serious or fatal 
injuries due to electrocution.

After proper installation of the FSQC receptacle, follow the steps below to wire the auxiliary switch:
1. 

Verify that the branch electrical power to the receptacle is turned OFF.

2. 

Turn the receptacle collar to the “OFF” position.

3. 

Open the receptacle cover.

4. 

Carefully run the wiring, in an approved method, from the remote detection equipment into the enclosure.

5. 

Determine whether the normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts of the auxiliary switch will be used.

6. 

Strip 3/8 inch of the wire insulator from the end of each wire.

7. 

For 30 A: Connect the incoming wire(s) to the auxiliary switch wires (see Figure 6 Item #5). 
For 60 A: Connect the incoming wire(s) to the auxiliary switch disconnect terminals (see Figure 7 Item #5). Properly crimp the terminals.

Installing the Auxiliary Switch (Field Installations)

1. 

Referring to Figures 6 or 7, mount the auxiliary switch (Item #2) to the mounting bracket (Item #1) using the two screws (Item #3).

2. 

Referring to Figures 6 or 7, mount the mounting bracket to the receptacle enclosure using the two mounting screws (Item #4).

3. 

Adjust the location of the mounting bracket as needed to ensure that the auxiliary switch will be actuated by the motion of the 
switch actuating fork. 

4. 

See “Wiring” for additional installation steps.

ON POSITION 

Testing

1. 

With the branch electrical power remaining OFF, test the auxiliary switch by turning the receptacle collar from the “OFF” to “ON” 
position. Verify that this motion will actuate the auxiliary switch.

 

NOTE:

 A proper amperage plug must be engaged in the receptacle to enable the movement of the receptacle collar from the “OFF” 

to “ON” position.

Operation

Before power is applied to the auxiliary switch:
1. 

The wiring must be

 

checked and tested to ensure that all circuits are according to plan and that there are no unwanted opens, 

shorts, or grounds.

2. 

Turn the receptacle collar to the “ON” position.
