Safety instructions
a
The operations must be carried out
by electrical suitably trained in
hazardous area with knowledge of
increased safty explosion protec-
tion IEC/EN 60079-14.
The GHG 514 plugs and sockets are not
suitable for Zone 0 and Zone 20 hazardous
areas.
The temperature class and explosion group
marked on the apparatus shall be observed.
Modifications to the plugs and sockets or
changes of their design are not permitted.
They shall be used for their intended
purpose and in perfect and clean condition.
For replacement and repair only genuine
Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Business (Eaton) /
CEAG spare parts shall be used.
Repairs that affect the explosion protection,
may only be carried out by Eaton / CEAG or
a qualified electrician in compliance with the
respective national regulations.
Prior to taking the plugs and sockets into
operation, they will have to be checked in
acc. with the instruction as per section 6.
The requirements of the IEC/EN 60079-31
regarding excessive dust deposits and
temperature to be considered from the user.
The sockets may only be used with the
associated Eaton / CEAG plugs in undam-
aged condition.
The plugs type GHG 514 .. shall only be used
in wall sockets of the series GHG 514 .., GHG
518 and GHG 524 ...
The plugs may also be used in any industrial
IEC socket outlets.
The interlocking switch of the socket is
mechanically secured by means of spring-
loaded locking pins and cannot be con-
nected without plug.
Before the initial operation, any foreign
matter will have to be removed from the the
plugs and sockets.
Observe the national safety rules and
regulations for prevention of accidents as
well as the safety instructions included in
these operating instructions and set in
italics the same as this text!

Field of application
The plugs and sockets GHG 514 are suitable for
use in Zone 1, 2 and 21, 22 hazardous areas
acc. to IEC/EN 60079-10-1 and
IEC/EN 60079-10-2!
The enclosure materials employed, including
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-quali-
ty materials which ensure a corrosion protec-
tion and resistance to chemical substances
corresponding to the requirements in a “normal
industrial atmosphere”:
- impact resistant polyamide
- glass-fibre reinforced polyester
- special steel AISI 316 L
In case of use in an extremely aggressive
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer..
5 Use/Properties
The GHG 514 plugs and sockets are used for
the power supply of local controls with varying
locations, as well as of electrical installations,
mobile machinery and driving gear in hazardous
areas. The plugs and sockets can also be used
in a „normal industrial area“.
The low-voltage plugs and sockets GHG 514 are
fitted with a load break switch and can be used
up to max. 63 A (see technical data).
The plugs and sockets can generally be used
for the voltage range laid down in IEC/EN 60309
(e.g. UN 400V that corresponds to the voltage
range 380-415V).
The apparatus connected to the plug shall be
suitable for the applied mains voltage.
The plug can be pushed into the socket and
pulled out of it only whilst the socket is
switched off.
In order to switch on the socket, the plug is
inserted, pushed fully home.
In order to ensure the socket’s type of
protection acc. to the type label also with the
plug being inserted, the bayonet ring of the
plug, page 9, fig. 2, item 2, is turned to its stop
onto the socket.
The interlocking switch can then be switched
on with the handle, see page 5, fig 1, item 7.
Thereby the plug is locked in the socket.
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, item 9, fig. 1+2,
page 9.
