WARNING

Standard Warning (General)
WARNING:
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING FIXTURE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. CRITICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE CONDUCTED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEC AND ANY RELEVANT LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
• RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. FIXTURE INSTALLATION REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF FIXTURE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. IF NOT QUALIFIED, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
• BE CERTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE AND DURING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.
• MAKE SURE THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS THE SAME AS THE FIXTURE’S RATED VOLTAGE.
• TO PREVENT WIRING DAMAGE OR ABRASION, DO NOT EXPOSE WIRING TO EDGES OF SHEET METAL OR SHARP OBJECTS. SUITABLE FOR DAMP LOCATIONS.
• ENSURE THAT THE LOCKING PLUG AND/OR CONNECTOR HAS THE PROPER ELECTRICAL RATING FOR THE SYSTEM ON WHICH IT IS BEING INSTALLED.
• THESE DEVICES ARE FOR GROUNDING CIRCUITS, OR EQUIPMENT GROUNDING ONLY. DO NOT USE IN NON-GROUNDING APPLICATIONS.

WARNING: MAKE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

RISK   OF FIRE/ELECTRIC SHOCK – DISCONNECT POWER AT BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING.
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY – FIXTURE MAY BECOMEUNSTABLE OR DAMAGED IF NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
RISK OF BURN – ALLOW FIXTURE TO COOL BEFORE SERVICING.

Standard Warnings (Cord Cap/Receptacles/Extension Cords)

WARNING:

USER SHOULD BE TRAINED IN THE PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS DEVICE. THIS LINE
CORD IS INTENDED TO ALLOW OPERATORS TO EXTEND POWER TO EQUIPMENT WHEN STATIONARY OUTLETS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE.

IMPROPER USE OF THIS CORD, PLUG, AND RECEPTACLE CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL.
PERIODIC INSPECTION OF THE CORD IS NECESSARY.

THE CORD MUST BE ROUTINELY CHECKED FOR CUTS, BREAKS, OR ANY SEVERE ABRASIONS, AND IF ANY ARE FOUND, THE CORD MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE RESUMING USE.

Installation Instructions

NOTE: WIRE SIZE AND TYPE MUST COMPLY WITH APPROPRIATE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. IN USA REFER TO NEC TABLES ARTICLE 400. USE COPPER WIRE ONLY. SELECT A CABLE OF SUITABLE AMPACITY, SERVICE, AND TEMPERATURE RATING.
THE CORD TYPES ARE: S, SO, SOO, SOW, ST, STO, STOO.
THE CORD GAGES ARE FROM # 10 AWG TO # 4 AWG.
THE CORD STRAIN RELIEF FOR BOTH THE CLAMP TYPE, AND THE NUT TYPE DESIGN, WILL ACCOMMODATE CORD DIAMETERS FROM .680″ (17.3 mm) TO 1.200″ (30.5 mm).

Installation Procedure w/ Clamp Type Strain Relief

CLAMP TYPE STRAIN RELIEF

1. Separate housing from wiring module by grasping device firmly from front. With thumb, press and hold the release button and twist housing counterclockwise.
2. Loosen (or remove) the two cable clamp screws from housing. Remove, or keep cable clamp insert, depending on cable size, as per gage on device, or see CABLE CLAMP STRAIN RELIEF CHART.
3. Feed cable through housing, and strip 2-1/2″ (63.5 mm) from cord jacket, making sure not to cut insulation on conductors.
4. On 3 wire installations: Strip all insulation from conductors 3/4″ (19.1 mm), as per strip GAGE molded on the back of wiring module.
5. On 4 wire installations: The length of the grounding conductor is shorter because the wiring chamber is located higher on the back cover: Cut GROUNDING conductor to a length of 1-3/4″ (44.5 mm) and strip insulation 5/8″ (15.9 mm). Strip insulation on the other conductors 3/4″ (19.1 mm), as per strip GAGE molded on the back of wiring module.
6. Make sure that stripped conductors are clean, and of a bright copper color. If necessary twist strands of each stripped conductor tightly. DO NOT TIN CONDUCTORS.
7. NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN TERMINAL SCREWS.
8. Attach grounding wire first by inserting stripped conductor into grounding wire well, and tighten terminal to 35 in-lb of torque, using a 5/32″ Allen wrench.
9. CAUTION: TERMINALS MUST TIGHTEN ONTO CONDUCTORS, NOT INSULATION.
10. With grounding conductor tightened, align each stripped conductor to marked wire well on wiring module as per TABLE 1. Insert each conductor and tighten each wiring terminal 35 in-lb of torque, using a 5/32″ Allen wrench. Check for stray wire strands.
11. Reattach wiring module to housing by engaging the thread of the two parts. Press and hold the release button and turn housing clockwise until completely tightened.
12. Alternately tighten cord clamp screws to 20 in-lb (2.3 Nm).

Installation Procedure w/ Nut Type Strain Relief

NUT TYPE STRAIN RELIEF

1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Separate housing from wiring module by grasping device firmly from front. With thumb, press and hold the release button and twist housing counterclockwise.
3. Remove nut from back of housing by turning counterclockwise. Select proper size of rubber bushing and strain relief grip washer. Break off from the four sizes supplied. See NUT TYPE STRAIN RELIEF CHART.
4. Insert selected rubber bushing right side up on back of housing as shown in DIAGRAM 2.
5. Insert cord through nut, strain relief grip washer, and feed cable through housing. See DIAGRAM 2. DO NOT REVERSE ORIENTATION OF STRAIN RELIEF GRIP WASHER AND RUBBER BUSHING.
6. Strip 2-1/2″ (63.5 mm) from cord jacket, making sure not to cut conductors insulation.
7. On 3 wire installations: Strip all conductors insulation 3/4″ (19.1 mm), or as per strip GAGE molded on the back of wiring Module.
8. On 4 wire installations: The length of the grounding conductor is shorter because the wiring chamber is located higher on the back cover: Cut GROUNDING conductor to a length of 1-3/4″ (44.5 mm) and strip insulation 5/8″ (15.9 mm). Strip insulation on the other conductors 3/4″ (19.1 mm), as per strip GAGE molded on the back of wiring module.
9. Make sure that stripped wires are clean, and of a bright copper color. If necessary, twist strands of each stripped conductor tightly.
10. DO NOT TIN CONDUCTORS.
11. NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN TERMINAL SCREWS.
12. Attach grounding wire first by inserting stripped conductor into grounding wire well and tightening terminal to 35 in-lb of torque, using a 5/32″ Allen wrench. CAUTION: TERMINALS MUST TIGHTEN ONTO CONDUCTORS, NOT INSULATION.
13. With grounding conductor tightened, align each stripped conductor to marked wire well on wiring module as per TABLE 1. Insert each conductor and tighten each wiring terminal to 35 in-lb of torque, using a 5/32″ Allen wrench. Check for stray wire strands.
14. Reattach wiring module to housing by engaging the thread of the two parts. Press and hold the release button and turn housing clockwise until completely tightened.
15. Push strain relief grip washer up against rubber bushing. Push up the cable relief nut to engage housing thread. Firmly hold housing, and tighten the cable relief nut, turning clockwise, until completely tightened.
