STEP 7.
Ground the enclosure.
Use the ground lug (see Figure 18 on page 31) located on
the bottom of the switch operator enclosure to ground the enclosure. The
ground lug will accommodate up to #2 copper or aluminum, solid or stranded
wire.
CAUTION
The switch operator must be properly grounded. In addition to the typical rea-
sons for properly grounding electrical equipment, the electrical surge suppression
and power supply systems contain transient filtering circuits that must discharge
to ground to function properly. You must read and understand all applicable
grounding codes and requirements for your service area before installing this
device.
