Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 250 grounding and bonding requirements. De-energize all equipment and verify the cabinet is not carrying live voltage before mounting or terminating ground conductors. Secure all bonding conductors to the bar using listed lugs or connectors rated for the conductor size in use. Consult applicable local codes and the enclosure manufacturer guidelines before finalizing the installation.
