ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR 50Hz QUICK DISCONNECT
Important – Read Carefully Before Installation
Before using the connector, it is important that these
instructions are carefully read and understood to en-
sure the connector system is completely water tight
and electrically safe.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELEC-
TRICIAN.
The socket (female) insert of the connector must be
the live part of the connector from the supply. The
pin (male) insert of the connector must lead to the
load or electrical device. On 50Hz units, the pin
(male) insert of the connector is installed at the fac-
tory. To ensure efficient sealing, use only smooth
circular cable.

Assembly/Wiring Instructions
STEP ONE
Remove the socket insert from the housing of the
connector. There is a slot for a flat blade screwdriver
in the center of the insert.
Note: The inserts have a LEFT HAND THREAD
and should be turned clockwise to remove.
STEP TWO
Remove the gland nut and gland from the rear of the
housing and slide on to the cable. Make sure the
gland is orientated with the stepped edge facing the
gland nut (see picture top of next column).

STEP THREE
Prepare the cable and strip wire ends as shown below.
STEP FOUR
Insert the stripped wire ends into the terminals on the
back of the Pin/Socket insert and fully tighten the
wire retention screws. (Refer to figure below for cor-
rect wire orientation).
After the wires have been connected securely, pull
the cable and insert back into the housing and tighten
with a screwdriver to ensure the insert is seated cor-
rectly. Note: LEFT HAND THREAD, turn the in-
sert counter clockwise to tighten.
STEP FIVE
Using a marine type 2-part epoxy, apply epoxy into
the housing, enough to cover the wires and contacts.
The epoxy should be about 3mm onto the cord jacket.
Note: Adding too much epoxy may cause excess to be
forced into the female end of the pin connector, pre-
venting proper connection of the two halves.
