Installation Instructions

3-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION

Loosen 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.

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

of splices, etc., must conform to good
wiring practices and local codes.
