Safety instructions

Target group:
For skilled electricians and suitable
qualified, instructed personnel in
accordance with national legislation,
including the relevant standards.
The GHG 524 plugs and sockets are not
suitable for explosion hazardous areas.
Modifications to the plugs and sockets or
changes of their design are not permitted.
They shall be used for their intended pur-
pose and in perfect and clean condition.
For replacement and repair only genuine
CEAG spare parts shall be used. Repairs
may only be carried out by CEAG or a
qualified electrician in compliance with the
respective national regulations.
Prior to taking the plugs and sockets into
operation, they will have to be checked in
acc. with the instruction as per section 6.
The sockets may only be used in undam-
aged condition.
Observe the national safety rules and regu-
lations for prevention of accidents as well
as the safety instructions included in these
operating instructions and set in italics the
same as this text!

Conformity with standards

The apparatus are conform to the standards
specified in the EC-Declaration of conformity,
enclosed separately.

Field of application

The plugs and sockets GHG 524, acc to.
IEC/EN 60309 are suitable for use in heavy
industrial areas !
The enclosure materials employed, including
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-
quality materials which ensure a corrosion pro-
tection and resistance to chemical substances
corresponding to the requirements
in a "normal industrial atmosphere":
- impact resistant polyamide
- glass-fibre reinforced polyester
- special steel AISI 316 L.
When used in extremely aggressive atmos-
phere, you can request additional information
on the chemical resistance of plastics used in
your responsible Cooper Crouse-Hinds branch.

5 Use/Properties
The GHG 524 plugs and sockets are used for
the power supply of local controls with varying
locations, as well as of electrical installations,
mobile machinery and driving gear in industrial
areas. Acc. to IEC they are used up to max. 63 A
(see page 7 , technical data).
The plugs and sockets can generally be used
for the voltage range laid down in IEC/EN 60309
(e.g. UN 400V that corresponds to the voltage
range 380-415V).
The apparatus connected to the plug shall
be suitable for the applied mains voltage.
Fig. 1: In order to activate the socket, first
the bayonet ring item 2 is to be screwed off
the socket item 1 and to be folded open.
Fig. 2: After pushing the plug into the socket,
the bayonet ring of the plug item 2 is screwed
to its stop onto the socket in order to establish
IP 66 protection category.
For operating the 4-pole wall socket (with
interlocking switch) proceed as follows:
Fig. 1 + fig. 2, as described above.
Fig. 3: The switch item 3 is switched on,
thereby locking the plug in the socket.
Proceed in inverse order to switch off and pull
the plug from the wall socket with switch.
After having removed the plug from the socket,
close the latter with the folding cover and
secure it with the bayonet ring in order to estab-
lish IP 66 type of protection.
The plug can be pushed into the socket and
pulled out of it only whilst the wall socket
with switch is switched off.
The user alone is responsible for the appro-
priate use of this plug and socket system.
After a short in the circuit, the operative-
ness has to be checked.
The data as per point 3 and 4 will have to
be taken into account with the use.
Applications other than described are not
permitted without CEAG's prior written
consent.
For the operation, the instructions stated in
section 7 of the operating instructions will
have to be observed.
In the open air, the plugs must be kept with
the plug opening (pin side) pointing downwards
or be closed with protective plug caps available
as an optional extra (see general catalogue).
