Connecting to Power
Caution Use at least a 4 mm2 conductor to connect to the external grounding screw.
The ground lug is not supplied with the switch. You can use one of the these options:
•Single ring terminal
•Two single ring terminals
To ground the switch to earth ground by using the ground screw, follow these steps:
Step1 Use a standard Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the
ground screw from the front panel of the switch. Store the ground screw for later use.
Step2 Use the manufacturer’s guidelines to determine the wire length to be stripped.
Step3 Insert the ground wire into the ring terminal lug, and using a crimping tool, crimp the terminal to the
wire. See Figure 2-6. If two ring terminals are being used, repeat this action for a second ring terminal.
Figure2-6 Crimping the Ring Terminal
Step4 Slide the ground screw through the terminal.
Step5 Insert the ground screw into the functional ground screw opening on the front panel.
Step6 Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screws and ring terminal to the switch front
panel to 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m). The torque should not exceed 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m). See Figure2-7 or
Figure 2-8.
