Wiring Instructions

1. Route the wire to be terminated through the conduit hub and up
through the access space to the terminal block.

2. Strip insulation back 1/4”, insert the stripped ends directly into the
proper terminal clamps and tighten screws.

3. Internal interconnections between terminal-block and switches are
diagrammed inside the Limit Switch Cover.

Note: If the Switch is installed in a hazardous location i.e. where
flammable vapors or dust are present in the atmosphere, replace
the cover and tighten securely before connecting the electrical sup-
ply circuit. If necessary, a screwdriver shank or similar tool may be
engaged in the cover wrenching lugs to assist removal and replace-
ment.
