The protection around the iGC should not be manufactured form a ferrous material.
4.3. Installation Drawing

NB: As stated previously non-magnetic fasteners and mounting bracket should be used for
mounting the iGC.
4.4. iGC Electrical Installation
4.4.1. Preparation
All electrical connections to the iGC are via a single Subconn 8-pin micro series connector.
