Section 1: Installation Instructions for Multi-pin Male Plugs
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, if any parts of the
plug or receptacle appear to be missing, broken or show
signs of damage, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Replace with the proper replacement part(s) before
continuing service.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, electrical power
supply must be OFF before and during installation and
maintenance. Installation and maintenance procedure must
be performed by a trained and competent electrician.
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, connectors with
male pins must not be used as the power source, as the
user may come in contact with energized contacts or other
components.
A. To disassemble male plug:
1.
Place cable adapter body (1) in rubber or aluminum
jawed vice. Unscrew male skirt (2) (left hand thread)
from cable adapter (1), keeping environmental cover (3)
on male skirt (2).
2.
Remove cable adapter body (1) from vice and place male
skirt (2) in vice, clamping onto environmental cover (3)
with warning label facing down.
3.
Unscrew coupling nut (4) from environmental cover (3).

B. To connect cable to male plug:
1.
Thread cable through mechanical clamp (9) or
basketweave (8), bushing (7) then cable adapter (1) then
coupling nut (4). Allow to rest down cable out of way.
2.
Prepare cable and individual conductors following
directions from Section 6.
3.
Terminate conductors onto pins per Section 6.
4.
Confirm resilient insert (6) (red) is firmly in place within
the male skirt (2).
5.
Locate pin location 1 on the insert and press desired
pin into insert. Follow pin insertion instructions from
Section 7.
6.
Continue to populate remaining pin locations on insert
with pins. WARNING: ALL INSERT LOCATIONS MUST
BE FULLY POPULATED WITH PINS.
C. To re-assemble male plug:
1.
Thread coupling nut (4) onto environmental cover
(3).
2.
Thread cable adapter (1) (left hand thread) onto
male skirt (2) and tighten to torque value found
on Table 3. Verify male skirt (2) is wrenched fully
to the shoulder of the cable adapter (1) to ensure
environmental integrity.
3.
Screw basketweave (8) or mechanical clamp (9)
onto the end of the cable adapter (1). Screw it
down tight enough to squeeze the busing firmly
against the cable. While doing this, push in on the
cable to prevent strain on the wire terminals.
4.
Fully tighten with wrench.
5.
If using mechanical clamp, tighten cord grip screws
to torque found on Table 3.

Receptacle
A. To disassemble female inline receptacle:
1.
Place cable adapter (1) in rubber or aluminum jawed vice.
Unscrew female skirt (2) (left hand thread) from cable
adapter (1), keeping environmental cover (3) on female
skirt (2).
2.
Remove cable adapter (1) from vice and place female skirt
(2) in vice, clamping onto environmental cover (3) with
warning label facing down.
B. To connect cable to female inline receptacle:
1.
Thread cable through mechanical clamp (9) or basketweave
(8), bushing (7) and cable adapter (1). Allow to rest down
the cable out of way.
2.
Prepare cable and individual conductors following
directions from Section 6.
3.
Terminate conductors onto pins per Section 6.
4.
Confirm resilient insert (6) (green) is firmly in place.
5.
Locate pin location 1 on the insert and press desired
pin into insert. Follow pin insertion instructions from
Section 7.
C. To re-assemble female inline receptacle:
1.
Thread cable adapter (1) (left hand thread) onto female
skirt (2) and tighten to torque value found in Table 3.
Verify female skirt (2) is wrenched fully to the shoulder
of cable adapter (1) to ensure environmental integrity.
2.
Torque mechanical clamp (9) or basketweave (8) to
cable adapter (1) per torque value found in Table 3.
3.
Screw basketweave (8) or mechanical clamp (9) onto
the end of the cable adapter (1). Screw it down tight
enough to squeeze the bushing firmly against the
cable. While doing this, push in on the cable to prevent
strain on the wire terminals.

Section 3: Installation Instructions for Panel Mount Receptacle
A. To disassemble female panel mount receptacle:
1.
Place female square flange skirt (2) in rubber or
aluminum jawed vice with top of environmental cover
(3) facing the floor. Unscrew insert clamp nut (1) (left
hand thread) from female square flange skirt (2), keeping
environmental cover (3) on female square flange skirt (2).
B. To connect cable to panel mount receptacle:
1.
Thread cable through insert clamp nut (1) and allow to
rest further down on the cable out of the way.
2.
If using multi-conductor cable, refer to Section 2 (step
B2-B6) for cable installation process. If using single
conductor cable, refer to Section 4 (step B2-B5) for male
contact and Section 5 (step B2-B6) for female contact
installation process.
C. To re-assemble female panel mount receptacle:
1.
Thread insert clamp nut (1) (left hand thread) onto
square flange skirt (2) and tighten to torque value found
on Table 3. Verify female square flange skirt (2) is
wrenched fully to the shoulder of insert clamp nut (1) to
ensure environmental integrity.
6. Continue to populate remaining pin
locations on insert with pins. WARNING: ALL INSERT
LOCATIONS MUST BE FULLY POPULATED WITH
PINS.
