Cable Strain Relief for Non-Mounted FOT-F3

To relieve the strain to cables connected to a FOT-F3 that is not 
surface mounted, proceed as follows:

1.

If possible, use long tie wraps to secure the FOT-F3 to a 
structural support such as a beam or a rafter.

2.

Using additional long tie wraps, secure each cable to the 
same structural support.
