CAUTION
To avoid fire hazard or accelerated degradation of insulation, use
copper conductors only with an insulation rating of 75º C min.
Size conductors for 60 degrees C ampacity.
4.
Pull all branch circuit and ground conductors into enclosure,
providing sufficient length to connect to enclosed switch
terminals.
Note
: WSQ 30 amp enclosed switch terminal screws (3) are in
plastic envelope inside enclosure.
5.
Make electrical connections utilizing the wiring pattern
established for your system. Connect branch circuit
conductors to enclosed switch screw terminals with
corresponding terminals connected through same
conductors attached to receptacle contacts. Connect green
grounding conductor to receptacle grounding screw.
Note:
Avoid conductors of excessive length which may crowd the
switch contacts and restrict proper switch operation.

CAUTION
Receptacle housing must be securely attached into a
permanently grounded conduit system in accordance with Article
250 of the National Electrical Code.
WARNING
Do not connect to power until the following electrical tests
have been performed:
•
Make continuity check of wiring to verify correct
phasing and grounding connections.
•
Check insulation resistance to be sure system does
not have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock always disconnect primary power
source before opening enclosure for inspection or service.
MAINTENANCE
Electrical and mechanical inspection of all components must be
performed on a regular schedule determined by the environment
and frequency of use. It is recommended that inspection be
performed a minimum of once a year.
WARNING
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or connectors appear
to be missing, broken or show signs of damage,
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY. Replace with the
proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
1.
Inspect switch wire terminal for tightness. Discoloration due
to excessive heat is an indicator of a possible problem and
should be thoroughly investigated and repaired as
necessary.
2.
Check grounding and bonding for correct installation and
secure connection.
3.
Clean exterior surfaces making sure nameplates remain
legible.
4.
Check tightness of all screws before using.
5.
Inspect housings and replace complete unit for those which
are broken.
6.
Check contacts for signs of arcing or burning. Discontinue
use and replace complete unit if arcing is evident.
In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we
recommend an Electrical Preventative Maintenance program as
described in the National Fire Protection Association Bulletin
NFPA No. 70B.
