How to use

To use the Opal WT-20, first ensure the power source is completely disconnected. Unscrew the housing to reveal the internal terminals. Strip the insulation from your cable ends, insert the wires into the appropriate terminals, and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm connection. Reassemble the plug housing, ensuring the cable strain relief is properly tightened to prevent the wires from being pulled out during use. Always verify that all connections are tight and that no stray wire strands are touching before plugging the device into a power outlet.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing cable gauge is compatible with the plug terminals
• Ensure the device being connected does not exceed the 16A rating
• Check if your application requires a grounded (3-pin) or ungrounded (2-pin) connection

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the plug and cable for signs of wear or damage before each use. If the plug becomes hot to the touch or shows signs of discoloration, disconnect it immediately and inspect the internal connections for loose wires.
