Electrical Installation
Electrical installation requires connecting the switch to a power source. Each type of flexible mount has a
different procedure for completing electrical connections. These are explained below.
All power connection wiring should conform to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code
(NEC), as well as any local codes.
Warning
Flexible Mount with Direct-Wired Junction Box
To complete wiring of the direct-wired junction box and to connect to a power source, follow these steps:
Only a trained and qualified electrician should be allowed to perform the procedure explained below.Note
Procedure
Step 1
Ensure that supply wiring is not energized prior to installing the flexible mount.
Step 2
Remove screw from the direct-wired junction box to open the cover.
Step 3
Determine mounting orientation and identify the desired wiring entry and exit points from the flexible mount’s
integrated junction box.
Step 4
Remove the appropriate knockout(s), either 1/2'' or 3/4" from the top or bottom, based on the connector type
employed in the installation.
Step 5
Prepare an armored cable by stripping conductor ends approximately 1/2'' or 3/4".
Step 6
After preparing the cable for connection, attach the cable to an approved connector and install the connector
in the appropriate knockout. Ensure that you leave a sufficient working length of wire inside the junction box.
Step 7
Strip supply wires. Remove pre-stripped insulation from wires supplied inside the flexible mount.
Step 8
Twist stripped ends of wires and secure the wires with a wire nut or other approved junction device. Supply
wires are color coded: Hot-black, Neutral-white, Ground-green/yellow. Verify that connections are made with
the appropriate supply wires as color codes may vary.
•
If you are combining multiple flexible mounts to form a single wiring raceway, remove the metal divider
plates that separate adjoining junction boxes. Ensure that you leave the divider plates in place on either
end of the raceway.
•
When you join two or more flexible mounts with direct-wired junction box, join the Hot, Neutral and
Ground supply wires of one wiring box to the corresponding Hot, Neutral and Ground supply wires of
