Revision 8Copyright © 2014 Revised 11/14Supercedes 1/09APPLICATIONARK-GARD 2® ENR Series Receptacles and ENP Series Plugs are used where power is to be supplied toportable electrical equipment such as compressors, tools, and lighting systems in hazardous and/or cor-rosive environments. The ENR Series Receptacle can be operated only by an ENP Series Plug. However,ENP Plugs can be used in any matching standard NEMA Receptacle located in ordinary locations, allowingthe portable equipment to be transferred from hazardous to nonhazardous areas.ARK-GARD 2 ENP Plugs and ENR Receptacles are rated at 15 and 20 amperes at either 125 or 250 VAC. Actualoperation must comply with the information stipulated on the units nameplate.Insulator/Cord ClampShellCordContactAssemblyGreen Hex HeadScrew -Green orGround WireGreen Hex HeadScrew -Green orGround WireSilverLug -Whiteor NeutralWireCopper Lug - Hot orBlack WireBlack or HotWires to Lug.1 Wire per LugINSTALLATIONENP SERIES PLUG1. Loosen two mounting screws (#4-40 x 5/8” long) in plug face but do not remove all theway to maintain captive feature. Remove contact assembly, insulator and cord strainrelief clamp. Note orientation of insulator before complete removal. (See Figure 1.) Becareful not to lose the mounting screws.Figure 12. Slide shell onto cord. Loosen 4 cord clamp screws and slide insulator onto cord. (SeeFigure 2.) Move shell & insulator up the cord & away from cord end so you can freely workon the cord end and prepare the conductors for termination.Figure 2NOTE: Use #12 or #14 AWG type S, SO, ST, or STO cord with range of .540 to .635 inchesdiameter. DO NOT use cord of smaller diameter.3. Strip cord sheath and wire insulation according to dimensions shown in Figure 3. Be carefulnot to damage individual conductors or their insulation.Figure 34. Loosen screws in pressure connectors of all three contacts enough so conductor can beinserted between connector plates and contact ends. DO NOT put conductor under pressurescrews.Figure 45. Attach conductors (See Figure 5).125V - White wire to silver lugBlack wire to copper lugGreen wire to green hex head screw & clamp250V - Black wires to lugs (1 wire per lug)Green wire to green hex head screw & clamp125V 250VFigure 5Tighten terminal screws to 20 inch/pounds torque.6. Slide insulator/cord clamp down cord and position over terminals. The insulator has 2 slots thatengage with the arc barrier walls and provide proper orientation. Take care to align insulatorproperly, then slide insulator to within 1/4” of surface of contact assembly. (See Figure 6)Figure 67. Tighten cord clamp by tightening 4 cord clamp screws. Slowly increase the torque evenly oneach screw repeating the sequence as necessary to a torque of 10-12 in. lbs. Clamp halvesmust secure the cord evenly without any misalignment between them.8. Slide shell down cord, aligning contact assembly & insulator/cord clamp to allow properengagement of two assembly screws into shell. Tighten two assembly screws to 8 inch/pounds torque.NOTE: Face of insulator will protrude 1/16” beyond plug shell when fully seated.ENR SERIES RECEPTACLEENR Series Receptacles may be installed in areas classified as Class I, Group B locations whenmounted on a single gang only EDS box equipped with EYS sealing fittings mountedimmediately adjacent to the box (close-nippled). Also, ENR Series Receptacles may be installedin areas classified as Class I, Group C, D and Class II, Group F, G on single or double gang EDS,EDSC boxes.ENR Series Receptacles should not be mounted on more than five multi-gang modular controldevice bodies without intervening seals.1. Mount back box in desired position following methods that comply with NEC and any localcodes.2. Pull all power source wiring into back box. Be sure wires are long enough to make properconnections.3. Attach power source conductors to receptacle terminals in an approved manner. Blackconductor is attached to bronze screw; white conductor is attached to silver cadmiumscrew; and green grounding conductor is attached to the green screw.4. Push wiring into back box and attach receptacle using the four screws provided. Thepreferred arrangement for the receptacle is with the door hinge on top. Tighten screws to30 inch-pounds torque.HOW TO OPERATE1. Insert plug into receptacle as far as it will go.2. Turn clockwise as far as it can go. Internal contacts of the receptacle are closed by this actionand complete the electrical circuit.3. Release plug allowing it to move outwardly slightly, into a locking detent position. Check bytrying to turn and/or pull out without any inward pressure. Plug should not pull out.4. To remove plug, press inward, turn counterclockwise and pull straight out.MAINTENANCEPerform visual, electrical and mechanical checks of all components on a regular schedule. Thisshould be determined by the environment and frequency of use, but it is recommended that itshould be at least once a year.1. Make sure screws holding receptacle to back box are tight.2. Clean receptacle face thoroughly.3. Make sure screws holding insulator in plug body are tight.4. Clean all exterior parts of plug thoroughly.WARNINGTo avoid risk of electric shock, elecrical supply power must be OFF during installation andmaintenance. Installation and maintenenance procedures must be performed by a trained andcompetent electrician.InsulatorCord ClampCord ClampScrews (4)ContactAssemblyMountingScrewsCAUTIONTo avoid risk of electrical shock, be sure grounding strap is located in proper position (SeeFigure 4.)Insulator ContactAssembly1/4”1 2Figure 7CAUTIONConduit sealing fittings MUST BE installed in Class I, Group B locations to comply with therequirements in the latest edition of the NEC, Section 501-5 and/or 502-5 plus any otherapplicable standards. Sealing fittings must be close-nippled to the enclosure.CAUTIONUse only copper or copper-clad wire with this receptacle.WARNINGIf any part of these plugs and/or receptacles appears to be broken or shows signs of anydamage - DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY Replace, or properly repair, the item(s)BEFORE continuing service.
