WIRING TERMINALS

CM = Common; NC = Normally Closed; NO=Normally Open

1 = Used in both SPDT and DPDT Switches; 2 = Used in DPDT Switches Only

1. Remove the switch housing cover.
2. Feed wire up through the conduit (user supplied) and conduit opening, and out through the opening below the terminal

blocks, taking care not to damage insulating paper on bottom of circuit board inside unit.

3. Do not use any more wire than is necessary to make the connections. Make sure that any excess wire is stored below the

terminal block / circuit board. Too much wire inside the switch cap could interfere with the operation of the switch
mechanism.

4. The terminal block is designed to handle 16 AWG to 22 AWG stranded, insulated wire. Be sure to size the wire appropriately

for your electrical loads. If in doubt, use 16 AWG. Strip approximately ¼” of insulation off of the wire.

5. See the following table for the switch connections:
6. Insert the wire into the appropriate terminal, and tighten the screw. Make sure that the screw is snug enough, so that the

wire will not fall out of the terminal. Do not over tighten! Damage to the terminal block could occur, which will render the
switch inoperable!

7. Crimp a #8 ring terminal of the appropriate wire gage to the ground wire and attach to the ground terminal shown.
