can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that power is
removed from the switch and alarm circuit. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or

When you are testing the switch, one power source is sufficient. If you are installing the switch and are
using a second power source, repeat this procedure for the second power and relay connector (Pwr B),
which installs just below the primary power connector (Pwr A).
When you are installing the switch, secure the wires coming from the power and relay connector so that
they cannot be disturbed by casual contact. For example, use tie wraps to secure the wires to the rack.
