Figure 22: Grounding Cable Lug for MX104 24 VDC Systems
CAUTION: Before router installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach
a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with
an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router.
CAUTION: Themaximum torqueratingof the groundingscrewson the router
is 4.34 lb-in. (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws may be damaged if excessive
torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws. Use
an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 5 lb-in. or
less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly calibrated and that
you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a driver that is designed
to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
