The resistors are factory wired to a terminal block mounted in this compartment using high temperature teflon or silicone wire. During installation, standard 90ºC ratedwire is routed into the compartment through the removable1/2 inch conduit knockoutsandconnected to the factorywired terminal block. The terminal compartmentwall ispre-punched for anoptional thermal switch for sensing a over-temperature condition.
