Grounding the Switch

Follow the grounding procedures at your site and observe these warnings:
Warning: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an
electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last. Statement 1046
Caution: Follow the grounding procedure instructions, and use a UL-listed lug (included with the switch) for
number-6 AWG wire and 10-32 ground-lug screws.
Note: You can use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.
Follow these steps to install a dual-hole lug on the switch. Be sure to follow any grounding requirements at your site.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground screw from
the cable side of the switch. You need the screw in Step 4.
2. Strip the 6-gauge ground wire to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). See
