83 Conformity with standardsThey have been designed, manufactured andtested according to the state of the art and toDIN EN ISO 9001:2015 andEN ISO/IEC 80079-34:2011.The apparatus is conform to the standardsspecified in the EC-Declaration of conformity,enclosed separately.4 Field of applicationThe plugs and sockets GHG 511 are suitable foruse in Zones 1 and 2 as well as in Zones 21 and22 in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-10-1 andIEC/EN 60079-10-2.The enclosure materials employed, includingthe exterior metal parts, are made of high- quali-ty materials which ensure a corrosion protec-tion and resistance to chemical substancescorresponding to the requirements in a “normalindustrial atmosphere”:- impact resistant polyamide- glass-fibre reinforced polyester- special steel AISI 316 LWhen used in extremely aggressive atmosphere,you can request additional information on thechemical resistance of plastics used in yourresponsible Cooper Crouse-Hinds branch.5 Use/PropertiesThe GHG 511 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 hazardousareas.The plugs and sockets can also be used in a„normal industrial area“. The low-voltage plugsand sockets GHG 511 are fitted with a loadswitch and can be used up to max. 16 A (seetechnical data). The plugs and sockets cangenerally be used for the voltage range laiddown in IEC/EN 60309 (e.g. UN 400V thatcorresponds to the voltage range 380-415V).The apparatus connected to the plug shallbe suitable for the applied mains voltage.In order to switch on the socket, the plug isinserted, pushed fully home and then turnedthrough approx. 45° to the right. Thereby theplug is locked in the socket (see page 15, fig. 1).For switching off and pulling the plug, proceedin inverse order.After separating the plug from the socket, thelatter shall be closed with the hinged cover andsecured with the bayonet ring. The plug can bepushed into the socket and pulled out of it onlywhilst the socket is switched off.In order to ensure the socket’s type ofprotection acc. to the type label also with theplug being inserted, the bayonet ring of the plug(see page 15, fig. 2, item 2) is turned to its stoponto the socket.The data as per point 3 and 4 will have tobe taken into account with the use.Applications other than described are notpermitted without Cooper Crouse-Hinds’sprior written consent.For the operation, the instructions stated insection 7 of the operating instructions willhave to be observed.From time to time, the locking functionprotecting against inappropriate use e. g. ofindustrial plugs in zone 1 has to be checked.In the open air, the plugs must be kept with theplug opening (pin side) pointing downwards orbe closed with protective plug caps availableas an optional extra (see general catalogue).The user alone is responsible for theappropriate use of this plug and socketsystem in consideration of the basicconditions existing at the plant(see technical data).After a short in the circuit, the functioning ofthe plug and socket system and of the plugshas to be checked.Since the switch contacts can no more bechecked because of the flameproof enclo-sure, the complete switch insert (flangesocket) will have to be replaced afterrepeated short circuits.Weight: (catalogue version)Wall socket 3-pole GHG 511 43 approx. 1.10 kgPlug 3-pole GHG 511 73 approx. 0.27 kg / GHG 543 - approx. 0.23 kgCoupler 3-pole GHG 511 33 approx. 0.61 kgFlange socket 3-pole GHG 511 83 approx. 0.38 kgWall socket 4-pole GHG 511 44 approx. 1.50 kgPlug 4-pole GHG 511 74 approx. 0.34 kg / GHG 531 - approx. 0.40 kgCoupler 4-pole GHG 511 34 approx. 0.89 kgFlange socket 4-pole GHG 511 84 approx. 0.53 kgWall socket 5-pole GHG 511 45 approx. 1.55 kgPlug 5-pole GHG 511 75 approx. 0.38 kg / GHG 531 - approx. 0.41 kgCoupler 5-pole GHG 511 35 approx. 0.89 kgFlange socket 5-pole GHG 511 85 approx. 0.58 kg1.1 Auxiliary contact1 Technical dataAuxiliary contact, rated voltage: 250 VACAuxiliary contact, rated current: AC / 5 A DC / 0.03 AExplosion protected plug and socket system 16 A,3-pole, 4-pole, 5-pole, GHG 511GB
