GENERAL
Hazardous Location (Haz Loc) DS/DSN/DR/DSDC
Series products are special use connectors rated for use
in Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 environments where ex-
plosive gases are not likely to be present or are present
for only short periods of time.
Haz Loc DS/DSN/DR/DSDC receptacles have a dead
front shutter, which isolates the female supply contacts
and prevents user exposure to live parts. The recep-
tacle's safety shutter blocks access to the contacts
and can only be opened by their respective plugs with
compatible ratings and contact configurations.
There are inherent dangers
WARNING
associated with electrical
products. Failure to follow safety precautions can result
DANGER
in serious injury or death. These instructions must be
followed to ensure the safe and proper installation, oper-
CAUTION
ation and maintenance of the MELTRIC devices. Before
installation, disconnect all sources of power to the circuit
NOTICE
to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
RATINGS
ADVERTENCIA
Haz Loc DS/DSN/DR/DSDC plugs and receptacles
DANGER
are CSA listed in accordance with CSA 22.2 No.
182.1-07. The amperage, voltage, horsepower and
CAUTION
environmental ratings are indicated on the product
labels. In addition, these devices have been evaluated
by CSA for Class 1 Div 2 and Zone 2 hazardous loca- AVISO
tion applications per CSA 22.2 No. 213-M1987. They
are rated for NON-LOAD BREAK use only.
MELTRIC Haz Loc DS/DSN/DR/DSDC have maxi-
mum short circuit ratings based on fusing as indicated
on Table 1. Short circuit ratings apply only in ordinary
locations. The ratings for auxiliary contacts are shown
in Table 2. Pilot Contacts are rated for NON LOAD
BREAK use only.

loosening due to wire strand settlement, vibration
and thermal cycling. NOTICE: Do not over-
tighten the terminal screws. Appropriate tools
and tightening torques are indicated in Table 5.

5. Some auxiliary contacts are factory prewired.
Proper splicing method based on application
requirements should be practiced.
6. NOTICE: MELTRIC threaded handles come with
NPT tapered style threads. Proper thread sealing
method is recommended to maintain watertight-
ness of all NPT fittings and joints. Use with rated
cord grips.
Cord Mounted Devices
Strip the cable sheath to provide a workable wire
length, being mindful that the sheath must extend into
the handle to ensure proper strain relief and environ-
mental protection. Then strip the individual wires to the
lengths indicated in Table 4.
Back out the terminal screws on the receptacle (or
inlet) far enough (but not completely) to allow the
conductors to pass. Insert the conductors fully into
the proper terminals and tighten the screws with the
appropriate tool to the torque indicated in Table 5.
Verify that the cable jacket extends beyond the strain
relief and into the handle. Assemble the receptacle
(or inlet), the color coded gasket, the finger drawplate
(if needed), and the thin black drawplate gasket to the
handle with the four screws provided. Adjust the cable
location so that it will not be under tension inside the
handle and tighten the compression nut to secure the
cable.
Assembly for Mounted Receptacles (or Inlets)
In applications where Haz Loc DS/DSN/DR/DSDC
Receptacles (or inlets) are mounted to wall boxes,
panels or other equipment, optimal operation is
achieved when the device is installed with the latch
at the top and with the force from the cable being
exerted in a downward direction opposite the latch.
Mount with the latching pawl at
the top to counteract the weight
and strain of the plug and cable.
Mount the receptacle
at a downward angle
whenever possible.
