The R8182 is equipped with special wiring terminals. Wires
can be wrapped around the terminal screw or inserted from
the side.

1. Strip 7/16 in. of insulation from the wire end.
2. Wrap the wire 3/4 of the distance around the screw as
shown in method 1.
3. Using a standard, flat-headed screwdriver, tighten the
screw until the wipe is snugly in contact with the screw
and contact plate.
4. Tighten the screw pin an additional one-half turn.
Method 2
1. Strip 5/16 in. of insulation from the wire end.
2. Insert wire beneath the screw as shown in method 2.
3. Using a standard, flat-heat screwdriver, tighten the
