RETAIN THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
For safe installation and operation, please read these instructions carefully and with full understanding.
FSQC Series
Receptacle interlocked with switch for use in hazardous locations.
Compliance
UL Standards: 050E, 1010, 1203, 1682, 1686
CSA Standards: No.30, C22.2 No.25, C22.2 No.159
Electrical Ratings
Maximum Voltage: 600 V ac at 60 Hz
Current: 30 or 60 Amperes
Configuration: 3W, 4P
Applications
• Designed to supply power to portable or fixed electrical equipment such as motor generator units, welders, pumps,
compressors, and similar apparatuses.
• Ideal for use on shipping docks, ports, and other "Ship-to-Shore" applications.
• Suitable for use in locations where a weatherproof enclosure is required.
• Interlocked receptacle design provides use in hazardous locations and rough environments.
Features
• Rugged and Type 4X watertight enclosure and cover, sealed with an O-ring.
• Grounding Style—Style 2 receptacle ground through shell and extra pole.
Receptacle is dead front without plug engaged.
• Arcing Confined—Interlock receptacle design means that all electrical switching
is done with an internal switch. The plug cannot be engaged or disengaged with
the receptacle when the switch is ON.
• Positive Contact—Brass contacts have integral springs for positive, maintained,
electrical contact.
• Receptacle face enables the engagement of plugs for a weatherproof union.
• Positive Ground—Grounding terminal for Style 2 receptacle "makes first,
breaks last".
• Receptacle is designed so that it can only turn ON when the proper mating plug
is fully engaged and the padlocking collar is rotated. See Table 7 for a list of the
mating plugs.
• Receptacles come with both a flip cover and a screw cover for protection
against environmental conditions.
• Cover cannot be removed when the switch is ON.
• P4 Option—Special polarization prevents plug insertion into a receptacle wired
for a different voltage.
• Style 2 interlocked receptacles are equipped with contacts designed to provide
a safety polarization means called "controlled length" contacts. This feature will
not allow the plug grounding contact (Style 2) to touch an energized receptacle
"line" contact in the event the plug becomes damaged and/or loses its primary
polarization means and/or is rotated into the incorrect position.

    3. On all conduits, reducer bushings, and close-up plugs, grease must be used to completely seal out water. NOTE: We recommend applying Appleton thread lubricant (part number TLC-3) on threads in three generous lines, running parallel to the thread axis and spaced equidistant around the thread.

    Close the Receptacle Cover 1. Apply a thin film of conductive grease (Appleton part number TLC-3 is recommended) on the threads of the housing. The purpose of this grease is to further ensure against water migration through the receptacle cover and housing joint. Grease should be reapplied each time the receptacle cover is opened.
