Switch Terminal Connections

Clamping Plate Terminal

an uninsulated section of a single conductor should not be looped around the terminal

and serve as two separate connections. The wire must be severed, thereby providing

supervision of the connection in the event that the wire become dislodged from under

the terminal. Failure to sever the wire may render the device inoperable risking severe

property damage and loss of life.

Do not strip wire beyond 3/8" of length or expose an uninsulated conductor beyond

the edge of the terminal block. When using stranded wire, capture all strands under

the clamping plate.
