10 Assembling and Dismantling
Operating position
When unplugged, the plug should be suspended, with the contact pins pointing 
downward.
11 Installation
Electrical connection
The conductor must be carefully connected.
The conductor insulation must reach to the clamping points.
Do not damage the conductor (nicking) when removing the insulation.
Select suitable cables to be used and appropriate way of leading them to ensure that
the maximum permitted conductor temperature and the maximum permitted surface
temperature is not exceeded.
Protective conductor connection
A protective conductor is always required.
Connection
Loosen screws (A) and extract the plug insert manually from the enclosure.
Loosen clamp (C) and pressure screw (B).
Remove the dust protection plate, and take out the pressure ring and seal.
Push the cable (cable diameter max. 35 mm) through the pressure screw, 
pressure ring, seal and enclosure.
If necessary, increase the internal diameter of the seal by trimming it to match the 
cable diameter.
To protect the contact pins against pollution, a suitable protective cap should
be used (For R. STAHL order no. see "Spare parts and accessories").

Strip the insulation from the cable (see figure).
Connect the cable to the plug insert. The stripped cable ends must be pushed fully 
underneath the clamping plate.
Align the cable such that the clamping points are not under strain.
Mount the strain relief (D).
Fasten the plug insert in the enclosure such that key and guiding groove (E) match.
Press the seal into the enclosure.
Place the pressure ring on the seal.
Tighten the pressure screw (B).
Secure the pressure screw with the clamp (C).
12 Putting into Service
Before putting into service
Make sure that the components are not damaged.
Make sure that the device has been installed correctly.
Remove any foreign objects from the device.
Check if cable glands and stopping plugs are tight.
Check if screws and nuts are fastened tightly.
Inspect the cable glands for signs of damage.
Check the tightening torques.
Make sure that the bayonet lock is tightened correctly.

On the connection side, the contact pin carrier is marked with "Abisolation"
(insulation stripped) next to the protective conductor connection symbol. 
The indentation below indicates the correct stripping length.
WARNING
The plug may only be used when fully mounted.
The plug pin surface must not be damaged.
Excessive tightening of the components can impair the degree of protection.
