Instellen en installeren

This section provides instructions for properly wiring the Leviton 8215-PLC plug to a power cord. Ensure the power cord is appropriate for the intended application and current rating.

Benodigde gereedschappen:

• Kruiskopschroevendraaier
• Wire strippers
• Utility knife (optional, for outer jacket)

Bedrading instructies:

1. Bereid het snoer voor: Carefully strip the outer jacket of your power cord to expose approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of the insulated wires (typically black, white, and green/bare copper). Then, strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the black (hot), white (neutral), and green/bare copper (ground) wires.
2. Disassemble the Plug: Unscrew the assembly screws on the plug body to separate the front and back sections. Slide the back cover and cord clamp components onto the power cord in the correct orientation.
3. Sluit de draden aan: The Leviton 8215-PLC features internal wiring chambers designed to isolate individual conductors. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals:
   • Groene/blanke koperdraad: Maak verbinding met de groente (grounding) screw terminal.
   • Witte draad: Maak verbinding met de zilver (neutral) screw terminal.
   • Zwarte draad: Maak verbinding met de messing (hot) screw terminal.
   Ensure all wire strands are securely under the screw heads and tightened firmly. Trim any excess wire strands to prevent short circuits.
4. Secure the Cord Clamp: Position the cord clamp around the power cord and tighten the screws to provide a secure grip without damaging the cord's outer jacket. This prevents strain on the wire connections.
5. Reassemble the Plug: Carefully align the front and back sections of the plug, ensuring no wires are pinched. Securely fasten the assembly screws.

Gebruiksaanwijzing

Once properly wired, the Leviton 8215-PLC plug is ready for use.

1. Aansluiten op stroom: Insert the plug firmly into a compatible 125V, 15A NEMA 5-15R receptacle.
2. Verify Power Indication: The long-life LED bulb on the transparent body of the plug will illuminate green when power is present at the device. This provides a quick visual confirmation that the circuit is live and the plug is receiving power.
3. Loskoppelen: To disconnect, grasp the plug body firmly and pull it straight out from the receptacle. Do not pull by the cord.

Onderhoud

Regular inspection and basic maintenance can help ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Leviton 8215-PLC plug.
