    Secure the PF or PFQ device to the designated location using the mounting screws provided. Ensure that the locking cam on the receptacle is easily accessible.

  3. Connect the Conductors

    Strip the conductors to 0.5 inches (12 mm) and connect them to the respective terminals as per the wiring instructions. Use the appropriate lugs and ensure that the neutral and ground wires are positioned above the phase wires.

  4. Apply Heat Shrink Tubing

    After connecting the conductors, apply heat shrink tubing over the lugs and terminals to prevent short circuits.

  5. Tighten Terminal Screws

    Tighten the terminal screws until hand tight using a 4 mm flat screwdriver. Ensure that the recommended torque of 13 in-lb (1.5 N-m) is applied.

  6. Assemble the Handle

    Attach the handle cover using the 8 mm allen tool and the six screws provided. Ensure that the handle is securely fastened.

  7. Calibrate the Mechanical Locking

    Rotate the locking cam to the desired position to engage or disengage the auxiliary and pilot contacts as needed.
