Lockout Provisions
WARNING: It is imperative to lock out PXN12c/
DXN25c/DXN37c plugs and receptacles after
connection or disconnection.
A mechanical locking device on receptacle latches, by
means of either a padlock(s) or by a specific screw
prevents any accidental disconnection under load.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before inspecting, repairing, or main-
taining Meltric products, disconnect electrical power
to the receptacle to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
Rules applying to products for use in explosive
atmospheres require that any replacement of
components must be performed under the control of
the manufacturer: Meltric Corporation.
From time to time, the fastening screws should be
checked for tightness. Care should be taken that the
weight of the cable is taken by the glanding
arrangement and not the terminals themselves.
Contact surfaces may be checked for cleanliness.
Any deposit of dust can be rubbed off with a clean
cloth. Sprays should not be used, as they tend to
collect dirt. Depending on prevailing conditions, the
pitting of plug and socket contacts should be regularly
monitored. In the event of serious damage, contact
your supplier to have the contacts replaced.
IP gaskets between plug and receptacled bodies
should be inspected periodically.
Any repair or service must be achieved with genuine
parts only.
