Hubbell 4-PLEX Wiring And Assembly Instruction

Wiring and Assembly Instructions READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. GENERAL WIRING INFORMATION: Notice: For installation only by a qualilied electri- cian in accordance with the National Electrical Code9 Canadian Electrical Code, and local code requirements, and the following instructions. . Caution: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installing. Never wire energized electrical components. Attention: Risque de chock electrique. D6branchef le circuit avant I'installation. Ne ia- mais faire les connections sur circuit vivant. Caution: Use with copper conductors only. Attention: Employer uniquement ave fil de culver. Binding head terminal screws accept up to #12 AWG solid or stranded conductors. Do not use tinned'conductors. Refer to NECoTable 400-5 or CEC Table 12 lor ampacity of flexible cords. Use ampacities from the 60oC column. Portable box accepts cord ranges 16/3SJ to 12l3SO. . Reler to NECOTable 310-16 or CEC Table 2 tor ampacity ot insulated conductors. Use conduc- tors with insulation rated 90oC or higher having sufficient ampacity in accordance with the 60oC column. NOTE TO INSTALLER: lnstructions should be left with end user tor tuture reference. SURGE SUPPRESSOR RECEPTACLE Refer to general wiring inlormation (above and be- low). Connect this device only to 1 25 VAC max. grounded branch circuit with listed or certilied over-current orotectlon rateclz$Fmax. (U.S.) or attffibff current rating (Canada). Inadvertent connection to a higher voltage will damage the device. Oiscon- nection of neutral conductor while circuit is ener- gized on a 1251250 VAC service could produce a damaging higher voltage. CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. This device is intended for installation on a SINGLE branch circuit (2-wire plus ground) only" DO NOT separately wire the outlets of this device to a multFwire branch circuit (3-wire plug ground). ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIOUE. Ce dispositil est pour un installation sur un courant SIMPLE (2 lils et mise A la terre) seule- ment. NE pas brancher s6parement les prises du dispositif sur un A circuit multiple branche' ments (3 fils et mise a la terre). This device may be wired as a feed-thru unit t0 protect additional outlets on tf'e same ci::rt OPERATION GREEN-Light Emittin Diode (LED) "ON" indicates that power is on and surge protection is tunctioning. A faint glow of ihe red LED is noticeable and indi- cates LED is lunctioning and is in a standby condi- tion. When the green LED light goes oui and the red LED is BRIGHTLY LlT, the receptacle is no longer able to provide surge protection because of damage caused by large transient surges beyond the recep- tacle's rating. The receptacle will continue to func- tion without surge protection. Replace the entire unit immediately to restore surge protection. This device is not a lightning arrestor and lightning may damage the unit. NOTICE Do not hot wire surge suppressor receptacle - doing so will damage the unit and void warranty. Turn off power to outlet by removing fuse or turning ofl circuit breaker. lf an existing duplex receptacle is being replaced, shut oft power to receptacle, confirm that both outlets are not powered by using a test lamp. lf both outlets are not powered' pro- ceed to Step 1. lf power is present in eithet outlet, the existing outlet was split-wired. Surge suppres- sor receotacles cannol be used to replace a split- wire receotacle. Adapter Plate (2) Knockouts for op' tional 4 screw mount- ing to adapter plate. one receptacle), consult a qualified electrician for prop€r wiring and installation. Should this situation exist, do not anempt installation with- out a oualified electrician. 4. 4-PLEX lsolated Ground lnstallations: The 4- PLEX may be installed as an "lsolated ground" device it a separate insulated equip- ment grounding wire has been installed trom the ground bus at service entrance. When in- stalled this way, the metallic raceway and de- vice box MUST Oe grounded to the normal building ground system and the isolated ground wire MUST be connected to the receP tacte. Tne "lsolated ground" label MUST be placed on the front surface of the 4-PLEX where visible after installation for identifica- tion required by the National Electrical Codeo Section 410-56(c). 4-PLEX RECEPTACLE ' SN€AK OFF.TAES TERMINAL SCREWS EACK V|EW STRIP GAUGE t Not accesible or removeable on 4-PLEX receptacles with surge suppression. @ Anchor Hole 1. Mount adapter date to box using (2) *32 x7l8 inch flat head screu6. Position flange side facing box and pull cable ftrougilt opening in adapter Plate. 2. Strip insulation on individual conductors 3/4 inch and wire each to proper terminal; black conductor to brass screw, white conductor to silver screw, green or bare conductor to green grounding screw. Anchor conductor in anchor hole provided and wrap in a counter- clockwise direction. For larger size conduc- tors, form loop and place under head of termi- nal screw. Tighten terminal screws 1G12 pound-inches (1.2 - 1,4 N.m) in a clockwise direction. A grounding ftilail is provid€d to ground recepta- cle to a metallic box where no grounding con- ductor is available. (See Step 4 for isolated Ground installations.) lf box contains additional conductors to feed other recegtacles on the same circuit, use re- maining terminal screws to connect the con- ductors. Follow the color code designations above. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions concerning the installa- tion of this device: Take extra caution that there are no loose strands. 3. 4-PLEX without Surge Suppression: Two break ofl trabs are grovided for split circuit wir ing. A and B circuit identitication is molded into face of recegtacle. lf you control a receptacle or portion of the fe ceptacle lrom a wall switch, or if the recepta- cle has split circuit wiring (two circuits feeding
