Required Tools, Wires, and Cables for the CTP Platform
Cabling your device takes only a few minutes. You need the following items and those listed in Table 1 for proper installation:
- 1/8-inch flathead screwdriver
- 3/8-inch wrench or 3/8-inch nut-driver
- No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
- Ground wires—We recommend a minimum of 18-AWG ground wire for AC and DC-powered versions, if applicable.
- Two #10 kep nuts (supplied) to connect the ground (earth) wire to the ground terminal.
- Power module wiring—We recommend a minimum of 18-AWG wire for the device with a dual stud terminal lug with 5/8-inch spacing.
Consider the distance from the connection point and the configuration of the device when determining the size of wire used.
