CMS Electracom M3.1 Couplers Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the installation instructions for the cmselectra M3 and M3S series installation couplers, including models M3.1, M3.2, M3S.1 and M3S.2. This document covers the proper engagement, load distribution and safety precautions. I'm ready to answer your questions about installation and usage of these couplers.
  • Should the installation couplers have any gap when engaged?
    Can I engage or disengage the couplers when under load?
    Are these installation couplers a replacement for standard plug and socket outlets?
    What is the maximum size of test probes that can be inserted?
