ELECTRICAL TESTING
Do not connect to power until the following electrical tests
have been performed:
• Make continuity checks of wiring to verify correct
phasing an grounding connections.
• Check insulation resistance to be sure system does not
have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
NOTE: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(NEMA) Publication No. PB1.1-1979 indicates that an
insulation resistance of less than 1 megohm on an open
circuit is an unsafe condition that must be investigated and
corrected prior to turning the power on.
All statements, technical information and recommendations contained herein are based on information and tests we believe to be
reliable.The accuracy or completeness thereof are not guaranteed. In accordance with Crouse-Hinds "Terms and Conditions of Sale",
and since conditions of use are outside our control, the purchaser should determine the suitability of the product for his intended use
and assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith.
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 connector appear
to be missing, broken or show signs of damage,
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Replace with the proper replacement part(s) or
properly repair the item(s) before continuing service.
1. Inspect all contact terminations for tightness.
Discoloration due to excessive heat is an indicator
of a possible problem and should be thoroughly
investigated and repaired as necessary.
2. Inspect interior insulation for surface contamination or
physical damage such as cracked or broken
segments. Contaminated insulators should be cleaned
and broken insulators replaced.
3. Check grounding and boding for correctness of
installation and secureness of connection.
4. Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if
necessary.
5. Clean exterior surfaces making sure nameplates remain
legible.
6. Inspect the multiple point contact bands and retaining
rings on the contacts. Replace if broken, damaged
or missing. Do not operate without all bands and
retaining rings intact.
7. Check tightness of all screws before using.
8. Inspect the metal housing and replace parts which are
cracked or broken.
In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we
recommend an Electrical Preventive Maintenance program
as described in the National Fire Protection Association
NFPA No. 70B.
