GENERAL
The SPeX is a single-pole plug and receptacle for use in explosive atmospheres
and conforms to the relevant international and European standards, particularly
the ATEx Directive 2014/34/UE. SPeX can be used in zones 1 and 2 (gas) and
21 and 22 (dust).
In order to guarantee a connection and disconnection in complete safety, the
SPeX receptacle is fitted with an electromechanical device (switch + ring) for
electrical interlocking with a contactor (breaker) and an integral pilot control
circuit.
Receptacle contacts are protected against standard test finger (IP2x/IPxxB)
according to IEC/EN 60529 standard.

RATINGS
CAUTION
AVISO
SPeX devices are provided with optional auxiliary contacts that make after
and break before the phase contacts. The ratings for auxiliary contacts are
shown in Table 1.

INSTALLATION
SPeX must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with all
applicable local and national electric codes. Be sure power is off before
starting.

of 4 kV by means of an appropriate isolating device. Follow the requirements
set forth by the ATEx classification. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN THE RING

AVISO
Electrical interlocking with a contactor is mandatory.

WARNING
Insert cable through the cable gland and the handle or through the inclined
sleeve.
DANGER
Wiring of the pilot wires
CAUTION
Use flexible conductors with a cross-sectional area between 0.5 and 1 mm2
NOTICE
(16 to 20 AWG).
NOTICE: These conductors must be connected to the wires of the microswitch
ADVERTENCIA
by means of the isolated crimping lugs supplied. Use an appropriate crimping

tool.
CAUTION
A typical pilot circuit wiring diagram is shown below.
AVISO
Wiring of the main conductor
Wire the main conductors within the amperage and hazardous duty
requirements of the ATEX (T5) classification. The cross-section must
be at least that defined in the certificate or the CE Declaration of Conformity,
WARNING
depending on the maximum current.
DANGER
Strip the conductor by 1.8" (46 mm). Crimp the threaded lug or the ferrule with
CAUTION
the appropriate die (NFC 20-130 or VDE 0220 or another). Hexagonal crimping
is recommended.
NOTICE
Tighten the threaded lug with a 24 mm wrench or tighten the ferrule with a screw
ADVERTENCIA
and a washer with a 19 mm wrench. Apply a torque ca. 95 ft-lbs (70 N.m).
DANGER
While tightening the ferrule, prevent the contact from rotating or transmitting
CAUTION
torque to the device with a 24 mm wrench.
AVISO
Assembly of the connector
Assemble the handles on the body of the products with the supplied gaskets
and screws and tighten the cable gland with an appropriate tool. To achieve
the IP65/IP66 of an interlocked connector, use a cable that incorporates the
two pilot wires that are required for the interlock, or use an ATEX cable gland
bushing that allows the passage of the main cable and the two pilot cables. The
silicone ring must be assembled on the receptacle ring.
Assembly of the metal inclined sleeve.
Maintain air and creepage distances when assembling the appliance inlet or the
receptacle onto the metal inclined sleeve, according to the operating voltage of
the main and auxiliary circuit and the degree of pollution.
The metal inclined sleeve must be grounded to Earth.
Assembly of the plug/inlet cap
WARNING
Place the lug located at the tip of the wire under one of the mounting screws
on the inlet side, or under the screw provided under the receptacle side.

AVISO
Color-coded rings
In order to achieve watertightness, do not forget the color-coded ring at the rear
of the inlet or receptacle.
Color-coded ring
The color-coded rings allows visual identification of the pole depending on the
color code of each country. Place the color coded gasket between the inlet or
receptacle and its rear accessory or panel.
Isolating ring
Flat gasket
When assembling the SPeX on a metallic support (enclosure, panel, etc.),
the isolating ring must be positioned as above. Be sure to use the black flat
gasket, which guarantees the watertightness, between the isolating ring and
the accessory.
Receptacles, plugs, connectors and inlets are protected against dust and water
ingress by means of caps, which must be re-assembled after use.
To achieve IP65/IP66, the receptacle or connector cap must be assembled with
its slot facing the socket-outlet protruding finger.

DANGER
CAUTION
AVISO
1 Insert the plug straight into the receptacle, until a 'click' is heard. NOTICE:
The plug and its flexible cable must not exert constraint on the receptacle.
2 Pull on the plug to make sure it is properly latched in the receptacle.
A small rotation of the plug, in either direction, allows the locking finger of the
receptacle to prevent any further rotation.
3 To close the pilot circuit, turn the ring of the receptacle up to the stop
towards "1".Check the continuity of the pilot.
Do not attempt to turn the ring toward "1" when there is no plug engaged.
Defeating the mechanical lock could create a potentially hazardous or
explosive condition if energized under load.
WARNING
4 To open the pilot circuit and unlock the plug, turn the ring back to "0" up

practice to periodically perform the following general inspections:
DANGER
CAUTION
• Check the mounting screws for tightness.
AVISO
• 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.
Use a clean cloth to rub off deposits of dust or similar foreign materials on the
contacts and the plug interiors. 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.
Any repair or service must be achieved with genuine
