Installation & Maintenance Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
APPLICATION
AR Series ARKTITE Heavy Duty Receptacles are
designed to provide connection and distribution of
secondary electrical power from a power source to
portable or stationary electrical equipment. AR Series
Receptacles are compatible with AP Series Plugs and
AJ, AJC, and AJX Back Box Assemblies. Crouse-Hinds
Product Catalog provides a complete listing of
compatible ARKTITE Heavy Duty plugs and back boxes.
AR Series Receptacles are supplied in 3 and 4 pole
designs. They are capable of carrying a maximum
continuous current of 200 or 400 amperes at a rated
voltage of 600 volts AC from 50 through 400 Hertz, or
250 volts DC. 200A rated AR Series Receptacles
feature load breaking capability in emergency situations
at or below the receptacles maximum current rating.
Self-closing spring doors provide environmental sealing.
CAUTION
400A rated AR series receptacles may only be
connected or disconnected with electrical power OFF.
Two styles of receptacle grounding are available. Style
1 units have the grounding conductor connected to the
receptacle housing with a pressure connector located on
the retaining cup. The receptacle housing detent spring
contacts the plug sleeve to compete the ground path.
Style 2 units contain an extra grounding contact (pole)
which is also connected to the receptacle housing
through a factory installed grounding strap.

1. Remove tow 1/4-20 hex head screws that secure the
retaining cup and insulator/contact assembly in the
receptacle housing.

2. Remove the insulator/contact assembly and retaining
cup by lifting on the wire well insulating tubes. The
front insulator does not have to be removed.
Remove the retaining cup. See Figure 2.

3. Remove the contact retaining clips from all contacts,
except the grounding contact in Style 2 receptacles,
located in front of the rear insulator. To remove the
clips, insert a flat blade screwdriver between the clip
4th (Grounding)
and contact, then rotate the screwdriver to pry off the
wire - if desired
clip. Remove contacts from the rear insulator body.

replace if broken, damaged, or missing. Receptacles
will not operate properly without all bands and retaining
rings intact. Each band is secured with two rings - one
at each end.

CABLE CONNECTION
Electrical power must be turned OFF before and during
installation and maintenance.
1. Establish a wiring pattern.
Before assembling an AR Series Receptacle, a wiring
pattern must be established. The same colored wire
must be put into the same numbered contact on all
plugs and receptacles in a system. This will assure
correct system polarity and reduces the possibility
of equipment damage and/or personal injury due to
misphasing or shorts.
ARKTITE plugs and receptacles are polarized so plug
enters receptacles only one way.
in insulating bodies are identified by number. This
assures proper polarity of conductors through plug
and receptacle.
To ensure uniformity of the system follow these
instructions or use your own established standards.
Electrical continuity testing is required to verify
proper polarization.

Connect wire, identified by color in first column of Table
1, to contacts identified by number noted in columns to
the right. White wire is connected to contact identified
#2. Connect other contacts in accordance with color
wires.
Conductors are identified by the color of insulation on
individual conductors. These colors agree with those
given in Section 210-5 of the NEC for multi-wire branch
circuits; an additional wire, uninsulated or identified
green, is for grounding and complies with Sections
250-42 and 250-45 of the NEC. If conductors are not
1/4-20 Hex
Head Screws identified with exactly these colors, these colors may be
assumed in making proper connections. If any doubt
exists on color identification, test them out electrically.

NOTE: All installations must be electrically tested to assure proper polarity of
conductors between plugs, receptacles and connectors.
*White wire must not be used for grounding. If portable cable contains an
uninsulated wire, or one identified green, this wire is for grounding the portable
device. If no green or bare wire is in the portable cable, another wire may be
connected through plug and receptacle connections to conduit or some other
non-current-carrying conductor permanently grounded in accordance with
Article 250 of the National Electrical Code.
**Use the pressure type termination.
WARNING
2. Select a mounting location that will provide suitable
strength and rigidity for supporting the back box,
receptacle and all contained wiring. Be sure that
enough height is provided to allow ample insertion
and withdrawal clearances. Securely fasten the AJ,
CAUTION
AJC or AJX back box assembly to the mounting
surface, then attach assembly into the conduit
system. Pull all phase and ground wires into the back
box, providing sufficient length to connect to the
AR Series Receptacle.
3. Strip conductor insulation to the dimensions shown in
Figure 4. These dimensions will allow the conductor
wire to bottom in the contact wire well and the wire
Contact recesses insulation to extend into the insulator tube.
DO NOT damage the conductor when removing its
insulation.
