Operations shall be carried out by
electricians and suitably personnel trained
in hazardous area with knowledge of
increased safety explosion protection in
accordance with IEC 60079-14.
The temperature class and explosion
group marked on the terminal boxes have
to be observed.
The plug and socket system is not
suitable for Zone 0 and tone 20 hazardous
areas accordance with IEC 60079-10.
The plug and socket system may only be
connected or disconnected under load
acc. to technical data. ( 230 V / 400 V
max. 10 A)
These assembly and operating
instructions shall be observed when
installing and operating the plug and
socket connector system. It shall only be
used in a technically perfect state and in
accordance with the intended purpose
while paying attention to the particular
safety and hazard aspects.
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
The plug and socket system is conform to the
standards specified in the EC-Declaration of
conformity.
It has been designed, manufactured and
tested according to the state of the art and to
DIN EN ISO 9001
94/9 EC: Equipment and protective systems
intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres.

Design
The enclosure materials employed, including
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-
quality materials which ensure a corrosion
protection and resistance to chemical sub-
stances corresponding to the requirements in
a „normal industrial atmosphere":
-
impact resistant polyamide
-
nickel-plated brass
-
special steel AISI 316 L.
In case of use in an extremely aggressive
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer

Use / Properties
The plug and socket systems GHG 57. are
used for the power supply of portable, local
controls, electrical installations and portable
electric machines and drives in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
They are also used for the quick connection
of explosion-protected electrical apparatus in
potentially explosive atmospheres and
industrial areas
The plug and socket systems GHG 57. are
intended for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres in Zones 1, Zones 2 in
accordance with IEC 60079-10 und IEC
60079-14.
The temperature class and type of
protection stated on the apparatus shall
be observed.
The inlets and flange sockets shall be
incorporated in the earth potential
The threaded holes in the flameproof
enclosure or built-in apparatus shall fulfil
the minimum requirements of EN 50018,
Section 5.3, Table 3.
Flange sockets and inlets may only be
used in protective enclosure or apparatus
that have been certified for the respective
application.
The plug and socket system may only be
operated and disconnected under load acc.
to the technical data.
The sole responsibility with respect to the
suitability and proper use of the plug and
socket systems with regard to the basic
requirements of these instructions (see
Technical Data) lies with the operator.
Plug and socket systems shall be checked in
accordance with Section 6 of the named
instructions, before being put into use.
Modifications or changes to the design of
the plug and socket systems are not
permitted.
Only original COOPER CROUSE-HINDS parts
shall be used for replacements or repair
work.
Applications other than described are not
permitted without COOPER CROUSE-
HINDS´s prior written consent.
CCH takes no responsibility for damages
causedby incorrect use.

Warning:
Electric shock hazard!
Electrical connection may only be made
by an electrician.
Preferably the flange sockets and
inlets shall be installed with the
connection opening facing downwards.
The relevant national regulations and the
generally recognized rules of engineering
apply for the installation and operation.
When opened, the live plug and
socket system components shall be
sealed immediately after disconnection
using the protective cap.
Here it is necessary to ensure that it
is closed correctly, otherwise the
minimum degree of protection and the
explosion protection are no longer
guaranteed.
Unused components are to be kept
sealed with the protective cap..
After a short circuit, the plug and socket
systems shall be checked to ensure that
they function correctly. As, after several
short circuits, the flameproof encapsulation
of the plug pins and contacts sockets is no
longer guaranteed, the complete plug and
socket system (flange socket/plug or
coupler/plug or inlet/coupler) shall be
replaced.
Information on the permissible connection
leads can be found in the list of cables on
page 40.
The apparatus connected to the plug shall
be suited for the mains voltage being
applied.
