4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the surface mounted plug. Ensure all safety precautions are observed.
4.1 Tools Required
- Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
- Wire strippers
- Cable cutter
- Drill (for mounting holes, if not pre-drilled)
- Mounting hardware (screws, anchors suitable for the mounting surface)
4.2 Mounting the Plug
- Select Location: Choose a flat, stable surface for mounting, ensuring it is free from obstructions and provides adequate space for wiring and operation.
- Mark Holes: Use the plug's base as a template to mark the positions for the mounting screws.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes appropriate for your mounting hardware.
- Secure Plug: Attach the plug base securely to the surface using suitable screws. Ensure a tight fit to maintain the IP67 rating.

4.3 Wiring Instructions
IMPORTANT: All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and regulations. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
- Prepare Cable: Strip the outer sheath of the power cable to the appropriate length, exposing the insulated conductors. Strip approximately 10-15mm of insulation from each conductor.
- Open Plug: Unscrew and open the plug housing to access the terminal block.
- Connect Wires:
- Connect the Live (L) wire to the appropriate terminal.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire to the appropriate terminal.
- Connect the Earth (E) wire to the designated earth terminal.
- Secure Cable: Use the cable gland or strain relief mechanism to secure the cable, preventing tension on the terminal connections and maintaining the IP rating.
- Close Plug: Carefully reassemble the plug housing, ensuring all seals are correctly seated to maintain the IP67 rating. Tighten all screws.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the Elecbee IEC60309 Surface Mounted Plug is correctly installed and wired, follow these steps for operation:
- Verify Compatibility: Ensure the mating industrial plug (e.g., on an appliance or extension cord) is also an IEC60309 standard 3-pin, 32A, 220V-250V connector.
- Connect: Align the male plug with the surface mounted socket, ensuring the earth pin (the largest pin) is correctly oriented. Insert the male plug firmly into the socket until it is fully seated.
- Secure Connection (if applicable): Some mating plugs may have a locking ring or mechanism. Engage this mechanism if present to secure the connection and enhance water resistance.
- Apply Power: Once the connection is secure, switch on the power supply to the circuit.
- Disconnect: To disconnect, first switch off the power supply. Then, disengage any locking mechanism and pull the male plug straight out from the surface mounted socket. Do not pull by the cable.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Elecbee industrial plug.
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the plug for any signs of physical damage, cracks, discoloration, or loose connections.
- Cleaning: If necessary, clean the exterior of the plug with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the plug is disconnected from power before cleaning.
- Seal Integrity: Check the integrity of all seals and gaskets, especially if the plug is exposed to harsh weather or wet conditions. Replace if damaged.
- Terminal Check: Periodically (e.g., annually or as required by local regulations) check the tightness of the terminal screws. Loose connections can lead to overheating and fire hazards.
- Environmental Protection: Ensure the plug's protective cap is in place when not in use to prevent ingress of dust and moisture, maintaining its IP67 rating.
