1. What is an Interlock Outlet?
An interlock outlet is different from a conventional receptacle in that it requires
input from an external switch or sensor in order to supply power. The switch/
sensor can be a limit switch designed to work with Docking Drawer Blade Series
outlets, a Corner Mount Limit Switch, or a Side Mount Limit Switch. If the switch/
sensor is not connected, or if it is not detecting a safe condition, there will be no
power supplied to the receptacle and a red LED will illuminate on the front of
the unit. When the switch/sensor is satisfied, power is supplied and a green LED
illuminates.

Should you install it?
Installing an interlock outlet or disconnect can be more
complicated than installing a conventional receptacle.
Make sure that you:
• Understand basic wiring principles and techniques
• Can interpret wiring diagrams
• Have circuit wiring experience
• Are prepared to take a few minutes to test your work,
making sure that you have wired the outlet correctly
and that it works as intended.
If you aren't completely comfortable with the above,
please consult a licensed electrician.

Installation Instructions
Before you start, turn the power off
Plug in an electrical device such as a lamp or hair
dryer into the receptacle on which you are working.
Turn the lamp or hair dryer ON. Then go to the
service panel and find the breaker that protects that
receptacle. Place the breaker in the off position and
mark it with something to let others know not to turn
it back on. The lamp or hair dryer should turn off if
you have the correct breaker selected. Next, plug the
electrical device into the other receptacle to make
sure the power is off at BOTH receptacles. If the
power is not off, call an electrician to complete the
installation.
Safety Interlock Disconnect Installation Instructions
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE GETTING STARTED
1. What is an Interlock Disconnect?
An interlock disconnect removes power from anything connected to the load
side of the disconnect when it gets the appropriate signal from a Docking
Drawer Blade Series limit switch, a Corner Mount Limit Switch, or a Fire Guard
smoke and heat sensor. If the switch/sensor is not connected, or if it is not
detecting a safe condition, there will be no power supplied to the receptacle
and a red LED will illuminate on the front of the unit. When the switch/sensor is
satisfied, power is supplied and a green LED illuminates.
