Installation Guidelines
- Mount the switch on a flat, rigid surface to ensure proper alignment.
- Use #6 screws for mounting; do not enlarge mounting holes to maintain the internal seal integrity.
- Connect conduit to the 0.5 in - 14NPT opening. Ensure the switch is not the lowest point in the conduit run to prevent condensation from entering the housing.
- Utilize provided sealing washers under screw heads to preserve the IP66/NEMA 3, 4 rating.
- Ensure the system power is disconnected before performing wiring or maintenance.
