Safety instructions

The GHG 518 plugs and sockets are
not suitable for Zone 0 and Zone
1 hazardous areas.
The temperature class and
explosion group marked on the apparatus
690V
shall be observed.
black
Modifications to the plugs and sockets or
changes of their design are not permitted.
They shall be used for their intended
purpose and in perfect and clean condition.
For replacement and repair only genuine
CEAG spare parts shall be used.
Repairs that affect the explosion protection,
690V
may only be carried out by CEAG or a qualified
black
electrician in compliance with the respective
national regulations.
Prior to taking the plugs and sockets into
operation, they will have to be checked in acc.
with the instruction as per section 6.
The sockets may only be used with the
associated CEAG plugs in undamaged
condition.
The plugs type GHG 518 .. shall only be used
in wall sockets of the series GHG 518 and
GHG 524 ...
The plugs may also be used in any
industrial IEC socket outlets.
The interlocking switch of the socket is
mechanically secured by means of spring-
loaded locking pins and cannot be
connected without plug.
Before the initial operation, any foreign
matter will have to be removed from the
the plugs and sockets.
Observe the national safety rules and
regulations for prevention of accidents as
well as the safety instructions included in
these operating instructions and set in
italics the same as this text!

Conformity with standards

The apparat 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.
The apparats fulfil further requirements, such
as the EC directive on electromagnetic
compatibility (2004/108/EEC)

Field of application

The plugs and sockets GHG 518 are suitable
for use in Zone 2 hazardous areas acc. to
IEC 60079-10!
The enclosure materials employed, including
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-
quality materials which ensure a corrosion
protection and resistance to chemical
substances corresponding to the
requirements in a "normal industrial
atmosphere":
- impact resistant polyamide
- glass-fibre reinforced polyester
- special steel AISI 316 L
In case of use in an extremely aggresive
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer.
5 Use/Properties
The GHG 518 plugs and sockets are used for
the power supply of local controls with varying
locations, as well as of electrical installations,
mobile machinery and driving gear in
hazardous areas. The plugs and sockets can
also be used in a „normal industrial area".
The low-voltage plugs and sockets GHG 518
are fitted with a load break switch and can be
used up to max. 63 A (see technical data).
The plugs and sockets can generally be used
for the voltage range laid down in IEC 309
(e.g. U 400V that corresponds to the voltage
N
range 380-415V).
The apparatus connected to the plug shall
be suitable for the applied mains voltage.
The plug can be pushed into the socket
and pulled out of it only whilst the socket
ist switched off.
In order to switch on the socket, the plug is
inserted, pushed fully home.
In order to ensure the socket's type of
protection acc. to the type label also with the
plug being inserted, the bayonet ring of the
plug, page 9, fig. 2, item 2, is turned to its
stop onto the socket.
The interlocking switch can then be switched
on with the handle, see page 5, fig 1, item 7.
Thereby the plug is locked in the socket.
For switching off and pulling the plug, proceed
in inverse order.
After separating the plug from the socket, the
latter shall be closed with the hinged cover
and secured with the bayonet ring, item 9,
fig. 1+2, page 9.
