Safety instructions
The GHG 517 plugs and sockets
are not suitable for Zone 0, 1
and Zone 20, 21 hazardous
areas.
The temperature class and explosion group
marked on the apparatus shall be observed.
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.
Repairs that affect the explosion protection,
may only be carried out by COOPER
CROUSE-HINDS / CEAG or a qualified
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 COOPER CROUSE-HINDS /
CEAG plugs in undamaged condition.
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 517 are suitable for
use in Zone 2 hazardous areas acc. to IEC
60079-10 and 60079-14!
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

Use/Properties
The GHG 517 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 517
are fitted with a load break switch and can be
used up to max. 32 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.
In order to switch on the socket, the plug is
inserted, pushed fully home and then turned
through approx. 45° to the right. Thereby the
plug is locked in the socket (see page 9, fig. 1).
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.
The plug can be pushed into the socket and
pulled out of it only whilst the socket is
switched off.
In order to activate the socket, the plug is
pushed fully home. Then the switching ring on
the plug can be turned through 45° to the right
in order to unlock the interlocking switch (see
page 9 fig.1)!.
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 data as per point 3 and 4 will have to
be taken into account with the use.
Applications other than described are not
permitted without COOPER CROUSE-
HINDS / CEAG's prior written consent.
For the operation, the instructions stated in
section 7 of the operating instructions will
have to be observed.
From time to time, the locking function
protecting against inappropriate use e. g. of
industrial plugs in zone 2/22, has to be
checked.
