DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLY :
1.) Disassemble the Connector assembly as shown in
Figure 2
. Loosen clamp guide setscrew and turn clamp guide
assembly to remove from connector body. Loosen connector body setscrew and turn connector body to remove from
acceptor receptacle body.
2.) Slide clamp guide assembly, with cable clamp properly assembled, and the grommet washer over the power cable
being used. Refer to National Electrical Code Table 400-5 or Canadian Electrical Code Table 12 when selecting the
conductor size.
3.) Determine how many “inner layers” of the onion skin grommet are to
REMAIN
by simply removing the “inner layers”
until the grommet slips over the power cable. Remove the “inner layers” as needed from the grommet, one layer at a
time, by pushing through to solid side and tearing off. See
Figure 3
.
4.) Place the onion skin grommet over the power cable with the “SOLID” side facing the clamp guide assembly and slide
connector body over power cable.
5.)
WIRING
:
Loosen the terminal screws on the terminal base.
NOTE:
Use
only
copper wire with this device (10, 12 or 14 AWG).
Reference
Figure 4
to strip the cable jacket and individual wires. Recommended conductor connection is crimp fork or
ring terminals; or loop the wires and attach them to the proper terminal screws: Green lead (Ground, if provided) to screw
at Ground strap (marked Green); White (Neutral) lead to terminal at White mark (125V. only); Black and/or Red [Line
lead(s)] to unmarked terminal(s). See
Figure 5
. Hand tighten terminal screws to 10 in.-lbs. of torque.
6.) Thread connector body onto Acceptor receptacle body and tighten until Acceptor gasket thickness has compressed by
at least half of its original thickness. Hand tighten connector body setscrew to 8 in.-lbs. of torque.
7.) Slide onion skin grommet down power cable into connector body. Force power cable into connector body to provide a
minimum 1/8”
strain relief in the wire between clamp and insulator. Slide grommet washer into clamp guide assembly.
Screw clamp guide onto connector body.
8.) Hand tighten the clamp guide set screw to 10 in.-lbs. of torque.
9.) Hand tighten the cable clamp screws around power cable to 25 in.-lbs. minimum torque, alternating sides as needed
to prevent binding.
LID ASSEMBLY or replacement
1.)
Remove the existing lid assembly by removing the (2) #8-32 screws holding it in place and ensure that the face of the
Acceptor receptacle is free of obstructions.
2.) Align the flat surface of the lid assembly with the flat step feature of the receptacle body and install the lid assembly to
the receptacle, as shown in
Figure 2
.
3.) Utilize the existing or the (2) #8-32 screws provided in the kit to secure the lid.
4.) Hand tighten the screws evenly; making sure that the inside diameter of the lid gasket seal remains circular and
undistorted.
OPERATIONAL DATA
1.) Lift receptacle door and insert plug all the way into the receptacle.
2.) Turn plug to clockwise limit (45°). This closes internal contacts and completes circuit.
3.) Release plug. Plug will move outward to “LOCK” position. Check by trying to turn plug without pushing inward; plug
should not turn.
4.) To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counter-clockwise limit (45°). Pull plug straight out.
