This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence
of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician
if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Statement 1046
Warning
Follow the grounding procedure instructions, and use an appropriately Listed or certified lug (included with
the switch) for number-6 AWG wire and 10-32 ground-lug screws.
Caution
You can use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.
Note
Follow these steps to install a dual-hole lug on the switch. Be sure to follow any grounding requirements at
your site.
Step 1 Use a Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground screw from the
cable side of the switch. You need the screw in Step 4.
Step 2 Strip the 6-gauge ground wire to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). Stripping more than the recommended amount
of wire can leave exposed wire from the connector.
