Installation Instructions

6 3-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION

ALoosen the 3 lower terminal screws from the terminal block. Insert the center bare wire (white/neutral) tip through the bottom center terminal block opening. On certain models, the wire will need to be inserted through the ground strap opening and then into the bottom center block opening. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left and the lower right terminal block openings. Tighten the screws until the wire is firmly secured (35 to 50 inch-lbs.). Do not over-tighten the screws since it could damage the wires.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING:

Aluminum building wire may be used but it must be rated for the correct amperage and voltage to make connection. Connect wires according to this Step 6 or Step 7 depending on number of wires.
