The switch chassis is connected internally to 0 V. This circuit is connected to the double-
hole grounding terminal on the rear of the switch (lower right corner) using Metric M4-.7
pitch screws and a Panduit LCCF8-14A-L or compatible ground lug. The surface area
around this terminal is not painted in order to provide for a good connection. Attach a #8
