sure that it is fully secured to the power cord.
• Do not stack any devices on top of the switch.

Grounding the Switch
This step must be completed before powering on
the switch.
Required tools and equipment for grounding
• Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6
(metric) pan-head screw (not included).
• Grounding cable (not included). The grounding
cable should be sized according to local and
national installation requirements. Depending
on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG
copper conductor is required for installation.
Commercially available 6 AWG wire is
recommended. The length of the cable depends
on the proximity of the switch to proper
grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included).
Note: Verify that the system is powered off.
1. Remove the grounding screw from the back of
the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of
the grounding cable on top of the grounding
screw opening.
2. Insert the grounding screw back into the screw
opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the
grounding screw.
