Plugging Procedure
7. Plugging Procedure
NOTICE
Inappropriate handling when plugging or discon-
necting may damage the connectors. The functional
safety of the connectors is no longer guaranteed
when parts are damaged.
X Make sure when plugging that grooves (1) and
guideways (2) of plug and receptacle always in-
terlock!
X Take care that plug and receptacle do not tilt
and that they are plugged without force.
X Make sure before the plugging procedure that
plug and receptacle as well as the protection
caps are not soiled. Remove existent dirt with-
out leaving any residue.
X Make sure that in the not mated condition the
protection caps are always attached according
to regulations.
Note:
In case of a very low or very high ambi-
ent temperature which approximates the
limits of the allowable operating tem-
perature range specied in our catalogue
A10.en in section “Specications”,
- a higher eort may be needed for the
plugging and unplugging and
- the operational life span of plug and
coupling receptacle may thus be re-
duced due to increased wear and tear.

For this purpose turn the plug slightly to and fro,
if necessary, until the grooves and guideways slide
into each other without force.
