The Larson Electronics EPO-20A Explosion Proof Outlet is designed for power connections in combustible facilities and

hazardous locations. This receptacle is rated at 20 amps and operates with 125V AC or 250V AC. Constructed of

copper-free aluminum with an electrostatically applied baked powder epoxy/polyester finish, the NEMA rated outlet is

protected by a heavy-duty cover.

WIRING

Standard pigtail(flying leads) wiring

We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product, in all locations especially in outdoor areas

where weatherproofing may be required. Universal voltage driver permits operation at 125V or 250V.

Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!

Attach supply line wires to the appropriate light fixture wires as shown

in the diagram 

Secure each pair of wires according to the diagram. Utilize a junction box or

similar device and take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all

connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with the

unit. Ensure the unit is properly grounded and that wiring is done according to

all local and national electrical/building codes.

PLUG OPERATION

Electrical connection between plug and compatible receptacle is accomplished

after plug fully inserts into receptacle and rotated clockwise.

1. Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug pin and

receptacle face. Insert plug straight all the way into receptacle until it

cannot go further.

2. Rotate plug clockwise limit (37º), this closes internal contacts and

completes circuit. This also mechanically locks plug into receptacle so it

cannot be pulled out.

3. To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counterclockwise, pull plug

straight out.

MOUNTING

The explosion proof receptacle features four, 1/4" mounting holes at every corner of the unit for permanent mounting

installations.

INSTALLATION

1. Mount back box in desired position following methods that comply with NEC and any local codes.

CAUTION: Conduit sealing fittings MUST BE installed in Class 1, Group B locations to comply with the requirements

in the latest edition of the NEC, Section 501-5 and/or 502-5 plus any other applicable standards. Sealing fittings must

be close-nippled to the enclosure.

2. Pull all power source wiring into back box. Be sure wires are long enough to make proper connections.

CAUTION: Use only copper or copper-clad wire with this receptacle.

3. Attach power source conductors to receptacle terminals in an approved manner. Black conductor is attached to

bronze screw; white conductor is attached to silver cadmium screw; and green grounding conductor is attached to the

green screw.

4. Push wiring into back box and attach receptacle using the four screws provided. The preferred arrangement for the

receptacle is with the door hinge on top. Tighten screws to 30 inch-pounds torque.

OPERATION

1. Insert plug into receptacle as far as it will go.

2. Turn clockwise as far as it can go. Internal contacts of the receptacle are closed by this action and complete the

electrical circuit.

3. Release plug allowing it to move outwardly slightly, into a locking detent position. Check by trying to turn and/or pull

out without any inward pressure. Plug should not pull out.

4. To remove plug, press inward, turn counterclockwise and pull straight out.

“QW” TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

QW WIRING (See Figure 1) :

NOTE: Use only copper wire with this device (10, 12 or 14 AWG).

Recommended wire strip length – ½ inch nominal (wire strip gauge also

available on the QW terminal cover). Loosen all (3) Terminal Contact Screws

and insert wire through the Wiring Entrance holes, into proper terminals:

Green lead (Ground)

to terminal with ground mark & Green screw head; White (Neutral) lead to

terminal with Silver screw head (125V. only); Black and/or Red [Line lead(s)]

to terminal(s) with Brass screw head. Hand tighten terminal screws

(recommended torque 8 in.-lbs.
