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.
