Preparing for Installation
6 Installation and Operations Manual
Before installing/repairing any wiring to the 8620 DET, make sure that the power is turned off
at the main circuit breaker or switch. The power switch should be locked in the OFF position and
labeled to prevent other personnel from turning the power on during installation.
Do not apply power until the 8620 DET is properly grounded.
Do not apply power in a hazardous environment until the cover is closed.
Incorrect field wiring connections can damage the 8620 DET electronics and cause system
malfunctions.
