Note
The grounding lug must be sized according to NEC/CEC requirements. A typical installation
would require:
1. Lug, copper, suitable wire size, #10 2-hole, 5/8" centers. For #10 ga. Wire, example lugs are:
•
Panduit LCD10-10AF-L
•
Pencom EL1244
•
Hardware Specialties 912302
2. Screw, 10-32, ½", qty 2
3. Washer, #10, external locking, qty 2
Perform the following steps to connect to the grounding terminal.
1. Ensure that the rack in which the SLX 9640 device is mounted is properly grounded and in
compliance with local regulations.
2. Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or
isolating surface treatment).
3. Crimp the included grounding lug to a grounding wire of at least 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG).
The 12 AWG wire and grounding lug should be crimped together using a proper tool.
4. Attach the 12 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the SLX 9640 device using
the screws included in the grounding kit.
5. Attach the grounding wire to a grounding point.
Note
The terminal for the connection of a grounding conductor is not to be used with an aluminum
conductor.
