RECEPTACLE INSTRUCTIONS (Plug-In LCS-P)

The LCS-P is fitted with one of the following NEMA plugs:

NEMA 6-30P

NEMA 14-30P

NEMA 6-50P 

NEMA 14-50P

The plug extends from the top of the LCS enclosure. Regulations limit this 

plug to a maximum of 12 inches in length. For this reason, the LCS-P must be 

mounted below the NEMA receptacle and must also be located within 12 inches 

of it.

The ground pin is located at the top position of the plug. With this in mind, it is 

recommended that the receptacle be oriented accordingly, such that the ground 

socket is at the highest point.
