Marechal PN12C Socket & Plug Typical Configuration

iNSTALL & OPERATION Guidelines
  • Remove an adequate length of cable outer sheath according to the accessory used.
  • Strip conductor insulation of the indicated length (see Table T1).
  • For inlets, affix the CE sticker either on the handle or on the box, or near the inlet if semi-flush mounted.
  • Insert the colour-coded rings between the inlet/plug top or socket-outlet and its rear accessory.
  • The two protrusions of the rings must be positioned on the hinge side for the socket-outlet/connector and on the catch side for the plug/appliance inlet. These rings act as seals.

PN12C Operation

  • The socket-outlet is shielded by a protective lid held in the closed position by a latch. Depress the latch to release the lid.
  • To be connected, the Marechal PN12C plug and the socket-outlet must have similar ratings (voltage, current …), and compatible contact configurations.
  • To connect, align the plug bayonets with the hollow parts of the socket-outlet (if any, use the two red marks as a visual indication), push the plug in and turn anticlockwise: the circuit is closed.
  • To disconnect, push the plug and turn it clockwise to withdraw it. Close the lid. See Figure F1.
