Basic Installation and Operation Guide
Power Terminals:
Connection points are bus tabs with pre-drilled holes (see below). Use appropriate compression or
mechanical lugs for termination to these bus tabs.
Suggested wire sizes and tightening torques for factory-supplied connectors for conductors rated for 75C are
shown in the chart below. Always consult local codes and industry standard practices for proper wires sizes to
accommodate voltage drop and ambient conditions.

Remote Keypad Mounting
The keypad / operator interface unit can be remotely mounted up to 10' (3 meters) away from the starter, i.e.
on the enclosure door. A remote mounting kit is necessary, which consists of an adaptor plate, a doorframe
for NEMA 12 enclosures and a pre-assembled ribbon cable available in 1-meter length increments. Detailed
assembly instructions and an enclosure cutout template are included with the kit. See Industrial Catalog for
part numbers of the available kits.
