MODE D'EMPLOI
INSTRUCCIONES
GENERAL
SP devices are single-pole, high-amperage plugs and receptacles that are designed
for safety, durability, and ease of operation. Each device is mechanically interlocked
with an integral pilot circuit switch for controlling the power circuit in order to prevent
connection and disconnection under load. Each of the phases as well as the neutral
and ground, are color coded and keyed to prevent improper connection.
SP receptacles are IP 2X rated to prevent accidental finger contact with live parts.
WARNING
DANGER
These instructions must be followed to ensure the safe and proper installation, operation
and maintenance of the MELTRIC ® devices. Before installation, disconnect all sources
of power to the circuit to eliminate the risk of electrical shock. This product must be
installed with an electrical interlock that prevents connection or disconnection in a

ADVERTENCIA

CAUTION
AVISO
NOTICE: Ensure the plug and its flexible cable do not exert a significant force or a
constraint on the receptacle.
Wiring of the pilot contacts
The SP auxiliary/pilot contact leads of each device should be wired in series within
the power control circuit. A typical pilot circuit wiring diagram is shown below.
Wiring of the main conductor
Use a flexible cable between 2 /0 and 777 MCM. Threaded lugs have integral
threads that screw into the terminals. The threaded lug should be tightened until
the tapered section is secured in solid contact with the terminal. Crimped lugs are
secured with M12 bolts that should be tightened to approximately 30 ft-lb (40 N.m.)
with a 3/4" (19 mm) wrench. Apply a torque of 30ft-lbs (40 N.m.) to the lugs with a
3/4" (19mm) wrench. Lugs that are to be crimped with Greenlee EK61DL11 crimping
tool shall have 1 crimp applied. Lugs that are to be crimped using the DeWalt 12-ton
tool shall have 2 crimps applied. On the threaded lugs do not crimp past the line.
NOTICE: To avoid transmitting torque to the device moldings when securing the
lugs, hold the terminal in place with a 24 mm wrench (flats are provided).
Hole Pattern for Custom Mounting
NOTICE: In order to maintain IP66/IP67 protection in custom installations,
watertight seals must be used under the heads of the four mounting bolts and
they must be retained by a lock washer and nut on the inside of the box or panel.
Alternatively, four blind holes can be drilled and threaded to accommodate #8-32 x
5/8" mounting screws. The hole depth must be sufficient to achieve adequate gasket
compression.
Achieving rated watertightness
Rated IP66 /IP67 watertightness to is achieved when the plug and receptacle are
mated. When disconnected, the receptacle cap must be fully inserted with the slot
in the cap aligned with the protruding 'button'. The plug cap must be pressed firmly
into place.
NOTICE: Proper steps must be taken to maintain watertightness at threaded
connections on the plug handles or at the junction box. The use of a sealer tape is
recommended.
Attaching the handle
Insert cable through cable gland and handle before tightening the phase conductor.
Assemble handle with the screws and gasket supplied, (use short screws for inlets,
long screws for receptacles) and tighten cable gland with an appropriate tool.

ground. Apply a torque of 17 in-lbs (2 N.m.) to each screw.
Assembly of the plug/inlet cap
Attach the cap to the plug /inlet by retaining the end of the chain under one of the
mounting screws.
Gasket
In order to achieve rated watertightness, the flat black gasket must be installed
between the inlet or receptacle and the panel or accessory to which itis attached.
When assembling the inlet or receptacle to the side of an enclosure, the isolating
ring must be positioned as indicated on Figure 1.

Rated current and voltage markings
It is essential to indicate the current and voltage of the main circuit on the supplied
stickers. Apply the stickers on or adjacent to the product so they can easily be seen.
OPERATION
To ensure safe and reliable operation, MELTRIC ® plugs and receptacles must be
used in accordance with their assigned ratings.
SP devices can only be used in conjunction with mating receptacles or plugs

CAUTION
NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate the SP device until the receptacle is mounted.

compression against the panel or handle is required to maintain assembly.
ADVERTENCIA
SP series plugs and receptacles feature different mechanical keying of L1, L2,
L3, N, and G. Mating plug /receptacle combinations are color coded for easy DANGER
identification.
CAUTION
SP series plugs and receptacles are not intended to be connected or disconnected

under load. The pilot circuit must be used to control the power circuit.
WARNING
The pilot circuit can only be turned 'on' when the plug is engaged and the plug
can only be removed when the pilot curcuit is in the 'off' position.

MELTRIC ® recommends the following connection sequence: Ground, Neutral, Phase

NOTICE
Connection
ADVERTENCIA
Insert the plug straight into the receptacle until a
DANGER
'click' is heard. Figure 2 The plug and its flexible
cable must not exert force on the receptacle.
CAUTION
AVISO
Pull on the plug to make sure it is properly latched
in the receptacle. Figure 3. A small rotation of the plug,
in either direction, engages the locking finger on
the receptacle to prevent any further rotation.
To close the pilot circuit and mechanically lock the plug
into the receptacle, turn the ring on the receptacle until the
"1" lines up with the arrow across from the release button.
Figure 4.
Do not attempt to turn the ring towards "1" when there is no
plug engaged. Defeating the mechanical lock could create a
potentially hazardous condition if energized under load.
Disconnection
To open the pilot circuit and unlock the plug, turn the ring back until the "0" is
aligned with the arrow. Figure 5. This action signals the controller to switch off the
power and unlocks the plug. To remove the plug, press firmly on the latch release
button and simultaneously pull on the plug. A slight rotation of the plug may be
required before it can be removed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before inspecting, repairing, or maintaining MELTRIC ® products,
disconnect electrical power to the receptacle to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
MELTRIC ® products require little on-going maintenance. However, it is a good
practice to periodically perform the following general inspections:
• Check the mounting screws for tightness.
• Verify that the weight of the cable is supported by the strain relief mechanism
and not by the terminal connections.
• Check the IP gaskets for wear and resiliency. Replace as required.
• Verify the electrical continuity of the ground circuit.
• Check the contact surfaces for cleanliness and pitting.
Use a clean cloth to rub off deposits of dust or similar foreign materials on the
contacts and the plug interiors. Sprays should not be used, as they tend to collect
dirt. If any significant pitting of the contacts or other serious damage is observed, the
device should be replaced.
