approved for use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved
power lines may have hazardous consequences.
Recommended installation practices:
- Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box.
- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit into which you are installing this
product. Installing this product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.
- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire.
