switch is suitable for use in hazardous locations.
•
Designed for supplying power to fixed or portable
electrical equipment.
ELECTRICAL RATING
•
Maximum voltage - 600 VAC @ 50-400Hz.

INSTALLATION
•
Carefully Read and understand the following
instructions before installation & operation of this
device.
•
Note:
All Installations must comply with Applicable
Local, National Electrical Code and/or Canadian
Electrical Code.
•
Note:
VSQ covers can not be used on VWSQ
mounting boxes, which are intended for non-
hazardous location installations.
•
Warning:
Make sure the receptacle assembly is
suitable for use in desired location per applicable local
and/or National Electrical Code. Serious damage
and/or
injuries may result
due to improper
applications. Electrical power must be turned OFF
before and during the installation & maintenance.
Fatal injury and/or damage may result by not
following these instructions.
•
Mounting Arrangement:
Receptacle assembly must
be mounted securely onto a column, wall, or other
structure that is able to support the device and the
associated conduit system. The structure is to be
prepared for use of four (4)
3/8” steel bolts (furnished
by others) using the lugs on the housing. The
spacings are as shown in Fig. 1. The device is
equipped with factory installed hinges. It must be
mounted with the hinges on the left and the receptacle
in the downward direction.
•
Conduit Installation:
1. 1
1/2” NPT conduit entries are provided on the top
and bottom of the housing.
2. All conduit entries must be sealed within
18” of the
enclosure as per National Electrical Code.
3. Make sure conduit entries are clean before
installing conduit, close-up plugs, reducers, etc.
Killark
“LUBG” thread lubricant is recommended for
this application.
Warning:
Use only copper cable or wire for the range
indicated in the table.

Wiring:
1. Develop and establish the wiring pattern for your
system. Locations having different voltages and/or
frequencies
must
not
have
interchangeable
attachment plugs. Always test before energizing.
2. Make sure to pull sufficient length of supply
conductors to connect to the enclosed terminals.
3. Strip the conductors to the length shown in table.
4. Connect the conductors to the ground and phase
terminals securely and tighten to the values shown in
the table.
•
Inspect & Clean Flange:
The machined flange
surface of both the box and cover must be smooth,
free of nicks, scratches, dirt, or any foreign particle
build-up that would prevent proper seating. Surfaces
must seat fully against each other to provide a proper
flame path joint. Clean surfaces by wiping with a
clean, lint free cloth. Apply a light coating of
“LUBG”
lubricant to flange surface.
•
Cover Securement:
Close the cover then install and
tighten all cover bolts to 25 ft.-lb. Make sure no cover
bolts are omitted. Use only those bolts supplied with
the device. Check the bolted joint with a
.0015” feeler
gauge. The gauge must
not
enter the joint more than
1/8” at any point.
•
Caution:
Missing bolts or an improper joint can result
in an explosion, creating the potential for serious or
fatal physical injury and/or property damage.
•
Cover
Replacement:
The
power
must
be
disconnected before removing the cover. Remove the
bolts and reverse the wiring procedure. Once the
conductors have been detached, remove the screws
that hold the cover to the hinges (4 total). Line up the
new cover with the hinges and reinstall the hinge
screws. Once the hinges are attached repeat the
wiring, inspect & clean flange and cover securement
procedures.
