Installation 5.7 Installing the Dummy Receptacle Tighten the 2 screws (D) until the crimp adapter loosens from the replacement insert and can be taken o (Fig. 16). Installation The dummy receptacle is installed in the same way as the coupling receptacles. The dummy receptacle uses an unpopulated insert without cable and contacts in- stead of the assembled socket insert with connector cable or replacement insert with crimp adapter.
Installation Installation Test Check that all of the installed parts are in the cor- Inside Outside rect position. Make sure that there are no undue tensile, pres- sure, exing and torsion loads on the connection cables. All contacts must be aligned, i.e. they must not be crooked.
Plugging Procedure 6. Plugging Procedure For the plugging procedure observe the requirements in chapter „2.3 Intended Use“. WARNING Dirt, moisture, snow and ice in the interior of coupling receptacles or dummy receptacles contami- nate the plug. The coupling of a contaminated plug to the coupling receptacle may lead to electric shock, short circuit and damage to the connectors! Always check if the interior of the receptacles is free from dirt, moisture, snow and ice before inserting a plug into a coupling receptacle or a dummy receptacle.
