Safety instructions

The operations must be carried out by
electrical suitably trained in hazardous
area with knowledge of increased
safty explosion protection
IEC/EN 60079-14.
The maintenance and repair supply socket
distributions are not suitable for Zone 0
hazardous areas.
The cover cannot be removed when the
safety switch is in the OFF position.
Operation of supply socket distributions is
only permitted if a "Hot Work Permit" has
been granted.
Before switching on, ensure that there is no
potentially explosive gas atmosphere.
Only original COOPER CROUSE-HINDS /
CEAG parts may be used as replacements
and for repairs.
Prior to being put into operation, the supply
socket distributions shall be checked in
accordance with the instructions as per
section 6.
Before initial operation, any foreign matter
shall be removed from the supply socket
distributions.
The national safety rules and regulations for
the prevention of accidents, as well as the
safety instructions included in these
operating instructions, that, like this text, are
set in italics, shall be observed!

Conformity with standards

They have been designed, manufactured and
tested according to the state of the art and to
DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 and
EN ISO/IEC 80079-34:2011.
The apparatus are conform to the standards
specified in the EC-Declaration of conformity,
enclosed separately.

Field of application

The maintenance and repair socket distributions
are suitable for use in Zone 1, 2 hazardous areas
acc. to IEC/EN 60 079-10-1!
The enclosure materials used, including the
exterior metal parts, are high-quality materials
which ensure a corrosion protection and
resistance to chemical substances correspond-
ing to the requirements in a "normal industrial
atmosphere":
- impact resistant polyamide
- glass-fibre reinforced polyester
- special steel AISI 316 L.
In case of use in an extremely aggressive
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer.

Use/Properties

Provided that a "hot work permit" has been
issued, the maintenance and repair socket
distributions can be used for the supply of power
during repair, maintenance and installation work
in hazardous areas.
The supply socket distributions are fitted with a
safety switch and can be used up to max. 80 A
(see Technical Data).
To prevent unauthorized switching, the switch
can be locked in the "OFF" position by means of
3 padlocks, see Fig. 1 (shackle diameter of
padlocks 4-6 mm).
A built-in locking device prevents the opening of
the enclosure in the „OFF" position.

The IEC -flange sockets in "industrie design" can
generally be used for the voltage range laid
down in IEC 60309 (e.g. UN 400V corresponds
to the voltage range 380 - 415V).
In acc. with DIN VDE 0620, the flange sockets
with earthed contacts shall be operated up to
max. 16A, 250V, 50/60Hz.
The sockets are safeguarded by means of MCBs
or ELCBs (RCDs) with the respective rated
current.
The function of circuit breakers shall be checked
after several short circuits.
An ELCB (RCD) does not prevent the sensation
on the human body resulting from an electric
shock.
After the cause for tripping has been eliminated,
reset the ELCB (RCD) by switching the toggle
switch (blue) to the "ON" position.
Open the respective enclosure cover to switch
the tripped MCB or ELCB (RCD) on again and to
check the function of the ELCB (RCD).
Warning: In the case of live socket distribu-
tions and when the enclosure cover is open,
the switching-on of the MCB or the function
test of the ELCB (RCD) shall be carried out
with special care by specialized personnel!
The apparatus connected to the plug shall be
suitable for the mains voltage being applied.
To ensure the degree of protection stated on the
type label even when the plug is inserted, after
insertion the bayonet ring on the COOPER
CROUSE-HINDS / CEAG plug is turned until it
reaches the stop on the IEC flange socket.
When using other plugs with a lower
IP-protection than that which applies to the
maintenance socket, the IP- protection of the
whole combination (plug and flange socket)
is reduced.
After separating the plug from the flange socket,
the latter shall be closed and secured with the
bayonet ring.
The CEE flange sockets a padlock
(shackle Ø = 5mm) can be fitted to the bayonet
ring ((see Fig 1, page 10) as an additional
safeguard against unauthorized use.
The data according to sections 3 and 4 shall
be taken into account during use.
Applications other than those described are
not permissible without a written declaration
of consent from Messrs. COOPER CROUSE-
HINDS / CEAG.
During operation the instructions stated in
section 7 of the operating instructions shall
be observed.
