MAINTENANCE
Before inspecting, repairing,
or maintaining MELTRIC
products,disconnect electrical
power to the receptacle to eliminate the risk of elec-
trical shock.
MELTRIC products require little on-going mainte-
nance. However, it is a good practice to periodically
perform the following general inspections:
• Check the mounting screws for tightness.
• Verify that the weight of the cable is supported
by the strain relief mechanism and not by the ter-
minal connections.
• Check the IP gaskets for wear and resiliency.
Replace as required.
• Verify the electrical continuity of the ground circuit.
• Check the contact surfaces for cleanliness
and pitting.
Deposits of dust or similar foreign materials can be
rubbed off the contacts with a clean cloth. Sprays
should not be used, as they tend to collect dirt. If
any significant pitting of the contacts or other serious
damage is observed, the device should be replaced.
Receptacle contacts may be inspected by a qualified
electrician. This should only be done with the power off.
