• Only trained and skilled personnel are allowed to attach the
wires to the electrical terminals of the switch.
• Cable couplers, glands and conduit connectors must have the

• The ground wire/connector is connected to the switch housing.
• Fully insulated mating spade terminals must be used on all
spade terminal connections to prevent a shock hazard and
maintain compliance with approvals.
