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.
