    (1) Place the GT10 main unit in the installation panel. (2) Insert the fittings into the grooves provided in the GT10 main unit, and tighten the screws to secure the GT10 main unit to the installation panel.
  • Page 50: Gt30 Installation Method

    When installing the GT10, if other parts are being installed to the panel or cables are being wired to it, we recommend providing a clearance of 30 mm to 50 mm/1.18 inch to 1.97 inch around the GT10. This prevents cables from being damaged, and facilitates the installation work.
  • Page 51 GT10/GT30 Installation and Wiring Installation CAUTION • Screw tightening torque The screw tightening torque should be 0.1 N m to 0.25 N m. Tightening the screws too hard can cause deformation of the front panel , so that the switch will not function properly. Make sure screws are tightened to the appropriate degree.
