Step 1 – Unpack and Inspect
Unpack the bell alarm or auxiliary switch kit and inspect
it for shipping damage. Read the circuit breaker
installation instructions carefully. Insure that the circuit
breaker and the accessory have the proper ratings for
current, voltage, interruption, and contact duty; wire
routing; installation; and operation for the application.
Form C switches are factory installed with #18 AWG
wires, 36 inches long. All other switches with the catalog
number suffix W are factory installed with #16 AWG
wire, 36 inches long.
Wire colors for each switch catalog number are listed in
