conductor to connect to the external grounding screw.
The ground lug is not supplied with the switch. You can use one of the these options:
• Single ring terminal
• Two single ring terminals
To ground the switch to earth ground by using the ground screw, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a standard Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the
ground screw from the front panel of the switch. Store the ground screw for later use.
Step 2 Use the manufacturer’s guidelines to determine the wire length to be stripped.
Step 3 Insert the ground wire into the ring terminal lug, and using a crimping tool, crimp the terminal to the
wire. See Figure 2-6. If two ring terminals are being used, repeat this action for a second ring terminal.
Figure 2-6 Crimping the Ring Terminal
Step 4
Slide the ground screw through the terminal.
Step 5 Insert the ground screw into the functional ground screw opening on the front panel.
Step 6 Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screws and ring terminal to the switch front
panel to 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m). The torque should not exceed 3.5 in-lb (0.4 N-m). See Figure 2-7 or
Figure 2-8.
