CAUTION
ACP series plugs may be mated with Powertite Series
Receptacles in ordinary locations and with the DBR,
MD2SR, JBR, EBR and EBRH Series Receptacles for
use in hazardous (classified) locations as defined in the
National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electric Code.
Portable utilization equipment connected to the ACP Series
plug must be approved for use in the intended location.
Equipment
NOT
approved for use in hazardous locations
as defined by the N.E.C. and C.E.C., connected to an ACP
plug must be used in non-hazardous locations. If used in a
hazardous area, the equipment must be approved for that
location, or the area must be purged of the hazard and
declared non-hazardous.
Except as expressly provided by Appleton Electric
(Appleton) in writing, Appleton products are intended for
ultimate purchase by industrial users and for operation
by persons trained and experienced in the use and
maintenance of this equipment and not for consumers or
consumer use. Appleton warranties do not extend to and
no reseller is authorized to extend Appleton’s warranties to
any consumer.
CAUTION
To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres do not use in
Class 1, Group F locations that contain electrically conduc-
tive dusts.
WARNING
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or cable connector
appear to be missing, broken or show signs of damage;
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY!
This condition could cause serious/fatal personal injury
due to electrocution and/or equipment damage. Repair with
proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
WARNING
Electrical power must be turned
“OFF”
before and during
installation and maintenance.
Failure to do so may result
in serious/fatal injuries due to electrocution.
WARNING
Use cable with diameters within the specified range given in
TABLE B for any given grommet size and clamp orientation.
Failure to do so may result in over stressed wire terminations
which could cause the conductors to pull out of the contacts
and cause serious/fatal injuries due to electrocution or fire.
WARNING
Do not modify these devices in any way.
Replace any missing or broken parts with proper replace-
ments parts from Appleton Electric. Modification of these
devices or substitution of parts with non-standard parts may
result in serious/fatal personal injury from electrocution.
Plug is watertight when inserted in proper receptacle or
cable connector and the clamping ring is fully tightened.

all strands into contact terminals according to your
established wiring scheme. Tighten terminal pressure
screws to a torque value per Table C. (Conductors
must bottom in contact terminal well and insula-
tion must extend below surface of insulator block.)
