82 Safety instructionsTarget group:For skilled electricians and suitablequalified, instructed personnel inaccordance with national legislation,including the relevant standards.The GHG 524 plugs and sockets are notsuitable for explosion hazardous areas.Modifications to the plugs and sockets orchanges 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 genuineCEAG spare parts shall be used. Repairsmay only be carried out by CEAG or aqualified electrician in compliance with therespective national regulations.Prior to taking the plugs and sockets intooperation, they will have to be checked inacc. 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 wellas the safety instructions included in theseoperating instructions and set in italics thesame as this text!3 Conformity with standardsThe apparatus are conform to the standardsspecified in the EC-Declaration of conformity,enclosed separately.4 Field of applicationThe plugs and sockets GHG 524, acc to.IEC/EN 60309 are suitable for use in heavyindustrial areas !The enclosure materials employed, includingthe exterior metal parts, are made of high-quality materials which ensure a corrosion pro-tection and resistance to chemical substancescorresponding to the requirementsin 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 informationon the chemical resistance of plastics used inyour responsible Cooper Crouse-Hinds branch.5 Use/PropertiesThe GHG 524 plugs and sockets are used forthe power supply of local controls with varyinglocations, as well as of electrical installations,mobile machinery and driving gear in industrialareas. Acc. to IEC they are used up to max. 63 A(see page 7, technical data).The plugs and sockets can generally be usedfor the voltage range laid down in IEC/EN 60309(e.g. UN 400V that corresponds to the voltagerange 380-415V).The apparatus connected to the plug shallbe suitable for the applied mains voltage.Fig. 1: In order to activate the socket, firstthe bayonet ring item 2 is to be screwed offthe 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 screwedto its stop onto the socket in order to establishIP 66 protection category.For operating the 4-pole wall socket (withinterlocking 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 pullthe plug from the wall socket with switch.After having removed the plug from the socket,close the latter with the folding cover andsecure it with the bayonet ring in order to estab-lish IP 66 type of protection.The plug can be pushed into the socket andpulled out of it only whilst the wall socketwith 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 tobe taken into account with the use.Applications other than described are notpermitted without CEAG’s prior writtenconsent.For the operation, the instructions stated insection 7 of the operating instructions willhave to be observed.In the open air, the plugs must be kept withthe plug opening (pin side) pointing downwardsor be closed with protective plug caps availableas an optional extra (see general catalogue).Dimensions in mmDrilling template for inletsItem 1Item 2Item 2Item 3Fig. 1Fig. 2Fig. 3Plug and socket system for industrial use 63 A,3-pole, 4-pole and 5-pole, GHG 524GB
