Intended use
The QUICK-CONNECT system is used as a screwless quick-connect system based on the cage clamp
principle in electrical plugs and sockets.
Plugs and sockets with QUICK-CONNECT are built for professional use. The installation and the fixed
connection to the mains supply should be carried out only by trained and qualified experts.
Any use going beyond the intended use is considered to be improper. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages resulting from improper use. Any such risk shall be borne solely by the user.
In case of unauthorised modifications or conversions, the CE conformity becomes null and void, and
thus, also all claims for warranty. Modifications may lead to risks for life and limb as well as damage
to the plugs and sockets or loads connected.
Factory-fitted labels and markings on the plugs and sockets should not be removed, modified or
blurred.
The product meets either the protection degree IP44, IP54 or IP67 in accordance with DIN EN 60529
(VDE 0470-1), depending on the respective design. Each of these mean:
– Protection degree IP44:
– Protected against solid bodies with a diameter beyond 1.0 mm, e.g. a wire
– Protection against water sprayed from all sides
– Protection degree IP67:
– Dust-proof
– Complete protection against contact
– Protection against temporary immersion.

Assembly and disassembly
DANGER
Danger to life by electrical voltage
The supply cable may carry high electrical voltage that is fatal. Pay attention to the five safety rules of
electricity:
1. De-energise
2. Secure the supply from being switched on again
3. Ensure the de-energised condition
4. Connect to earth and short circuit
5. Cover or cordon off adjacent live parts
Connecting a cable to a 63-A surface-mounting or panel-mounting socket outlet or
plug
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the cable is de-energised.
2. Strip the cable to the required length.
3. Remove the insulation from the individual conductors up to a length of 29 mm. Twist the mul-
ti-strand copper conductors slightly by hand. Conductor end sleeves are not necessary but may
be used.
ðFor surface mounting socket outlets or surface-mounting appliance inlets follow the expla-
nation starting from point 4.
ðFor panel mounting socket outlets or panel mounting appliance inlets, follow the explana-
tion starting from point 6.
4. Loosen the two housing screws in order to open the housing.

5. Fix the bottom part of the housing to the wall with the help of the fixing material suitable for
the application.
6. Loosen the contact carrier from the bottom of the housing
7. Push the cable through the cable gland (4) into the housing.

8. The terminals are open at the time of delivery. Guide the bare individual conductors into the
opening near the contact slide (6) and press the contact slide (5) in the direction of the arrow
to the side. The contact slide get latched and fixes the individual conductor. Take care to see
that only the bare individual conductor (without insulation) is clamped. Pay attention to the
marking of the terminals and ensure that the assignment of the individual conductors to the
terminals is correct.
9. Check whether the individual conductors are seated tightly by pulling them lightly. If this is not
the case, open the terminal and repeat the previous step.
10. Fix the contact carrier again in the bottom part of the housing.
11. Tighten the cable gland.

12. Fix the housing with the panel mounting appliance (panel mounting variants) or fix the top
part of the housing with screws to the bottom part of the housing (surface-mounting vari-
ants). NOTICE! With the panel mounting variants, make sure that you insert the gasket, and
with the surface-mounting variants, that the insert with the connections is placed correctly
into the bottom part of the housing!
Disconnecting a cable from a 63-A surface-mounting or panel-mounting socket
outlet or plug
1. Make sure that the cable is de-energised.
2. Loosen the two housing screws in order to open the housing.

from the terminals.

5. For surface mounting socket outlets and plugs: Pull out the cable from the housing and out of
the cable gland (4).
6. Fix the contact carrier again in the bottom part of the housing.
7. Fix the housing with the panel mounting appliance (panel mounting variants) or fix the top
part of the housing with screws to the bottom part of the housing (surface-mounting vari-
ants).
