Install the Adapter Plate and Backing Plate
Before you install the adapter and backing plate, measure the thickness of the panel to find the
correct mounting lever lock position for the new terminal installation.
Determine the Mounting Lever Lock Position
Use a marker or grease pencil to mark the
mounting lever lock position of each mounting
slots on the back edge of the new terminal. The
marked lock position helps you line up the
mounting lever when you install the new
terminal in
To install the adapter plate and backing plate,
follow these steps.
1.
Verify that the adapter plate and backing plate are flat and not bent.
2.
Verify that the sealing gasket is installed on the adapter plate and is not damaged.
This gasket forms a compression seal. Do not use sealing compounds.
3.
From the front of the panel, insert the threaded studs of the adapter plate through the
holes that you drilled in the panel.
4.
From the back of the panel, insert the backing plate through the threaded studs of the
adapter plate.
5.
Finger tighten one nut onto each of the threaded studs. Be sure to hold the backing plate
securely until at least two nuts are in place.
