5. The switch terminals are located next to the conduit outlet
to facilitate wiring. Bring supply wires through conduit
outlet. Route extra wire around enclosing tube under the
baffle plate, and connect them to the proper terminals.
Refer to the wiring diagram in your switch bulletin for this
information. See
Switch Instruction Reference Bulletins
chart below for switch instruction bulletin numbers.

NOTE: For models with a Series HS switch with high temperature
lead wire, the leads are routed out through the conduit open-
ing by the factory. A suitable conduit box should be provided
for the connection of the leads to the control wiring.
6. Dress wiring to ensure no interference or contact with the
switch housing cover.
OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES
AND PROPER WIRING PROCEDURES.
Prevent moisture seepage into the enclosure by installing
approved seal-drain fittings in the conduit run leading into
the unit.
Caution:
In hazardous areas, do not power the unit until the
conduit is sealed and the enclosure cover is screwed
down securely.
7. Replace housing cover.
8. If control has been furnished with an explosion proof or
moisture proof (gasketed) switch housing, it must be
sealed at the conduit outlet with a suitable compound or
non-hardening sealant to prevent entrance of air.
9. Test switch action by varying liquid level in float chamber.
NOTE: If switch mechanism fails to function properly, check vertical
alignment of control housing and consult installation bulletin
on switch mechanism furnished.
10. Check cover to base fit to be certain gasketed joint is tight.
A positive seal is necessary to prevent infiltration of mois-
ture laden air or corrosive gases into switch housings.
