plugs and receptacles must be used in
accordance with their assigned ratings.
They can only be used in conjunction with mating

another licensed producer of products bearing

MAINTENANCE
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.
Deposits of dust or similar foreign materials can be
rubbed off the contacts with a clean cloth. 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.
Receptacle contacts may be inspected by a qualified
electrician. This should only be done with the power off.
