THREE RLM MODELS ARE AVAILABLE
- RLM-15A........15 Amp Module
- RLM-20A........20 Amp Module
- RLM-20IGA....20 Amp Module with Isolated Ground
INSTALLATION
All T-Series tail ground wires MUST be connected to the facility ground and bonded to the
ground stud in J-Box. (Except Isolated Ground Modules, see below)
When screwing the module to the raceway, use a hand-held screwdriver and do not overtighten.
ISOLATED GROUND MODULES (RLM-20IGA)
Isolated Ground Modules require a separate isolated ground conductor (from source supply)
directly to the green module wire. This grounding conductor MUST NOT be connected to ground
stud in the J-Box.
For safety, the MPR Raceway MUST be grounded to standard building ground. This can be
accomplished with metallic conduit connection and/or grounding conductor. This grounding
conductor (if provided) must terminate on the grounding stud in the J-Box only.
