Isolated Ground Receptacle
This product incorporates an isolated ground receptacle, identified by the orange triangle on its face. This feature may be useful to reduce common noise in the connected equipment. Its intended use is to reduce electrical noise (electromagnetic interference) by purposely insulating the grounding circuit from any metallic wiring system. The ground pin of the receptacle is connected to the green/yellow wire and is isolated from the metal mounting yoke of the receptacle. The accessible metal of the product is connected to the green wire. If it is not desired to use this feature, connect the green/yellow and green wires together.

NFPA-70, "National Electrical Code", Article 250.146 Connecting Receptacle Grounding Terminal to Box.
• (D) Isolated Ground Receptacles. Where installed for the reduction of electrical noise (electromagnetic interference) on the grounding circuit, a receptacle in which the grounding terminal is purposefully insulated from the receptacle mounting means shall be permitted. The receptacle grounding terminal shall be connected to an insulated equipment grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors. This equipment grounding conductor shall be permitted to pass through one or more panel boards without a connection to the panel board grounding terminal bar as permitted in 408.40, Exception, so as to terminate within the same building or structure directly at an equipment grounding conductor terminal of the applicable derived system or service. Where installed in accordance with the provisions of this section, this equipment grounding conductor shall also be permitted to pass through boxes, wire ways, or other enclosures without being connected to such enclosures.
- Informational Note: Use of an isolated equipment grounding conductor does not relieve the requirement for grounding the raceway system and outlet box.
C22.2 No. 1, "Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1", Rule 10-906 Bonding conductor connection to circuits and equipment.
• (6) A bonding jumper shall be installed to connect the bonding conductor to the grounding terminal of a receptacle and in such a manner that disconnection or removal of the receptacle will not interfere with, or interrupt grounding continuity.
• (7) In the case of metallically enclosed systems where the grounding path is provided by the metal enclosure, a bonding jumper shall be installed to bond the grounding terminal of the receptacle to the enclosure.
• (8) Notwithstanding Sub-rules (6) and (7), the bonding jumper, in the case of receptacles having grounding terminals isolated from the mounting strap required for special equipment, shall be
permitted to be extended directly back to the distribution panel.

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY! This mounting system should be installed by qualified personnel.
IMPORTANT ! : In addition to the CMS491/CMS491C/CMS492/CMS492C installation instructions accompanying the products, the following steps must also be taken when installing the CMS491P2, CMS491CP2, CMS492P2, and CMS492CP2.
The CMS491P2, CMS491CP2, CMS492P2, and CMS492CP2 must be connected to a 15 Amp branch circuit.
Installing EGX-SF2
- Loosen two Phillips head screws holding EGX-SF2 (A) outlet box to outer housing. (See Figure 1)
- Rotate outlet box counter-clockwise until it is free to be removed from housing. (See Figure 1)
- Remove outlet box from housing. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1
- Wire the EGX-SF2 outlet box as required making sure the wiring passes through the outlet hole in the housing. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for input and output specifications. (See Figure 2)

| Color/Markings | Grey with protection symbol (Orange triangle) |

CAUTION: Isolated ground-mounting means NOT grounded. Grounding wire connection required.
IMPORTANT ! : If a separate isolated green/yellow ground wire is installed in the building wiring, attach it separately to the green/yellow isolated ground wire on box. If there is no separate green/yellow isolated ground wire, connect green ground wire to both green/yellow isolated ground wire and green box ground wire on box.
NOTE: The grounding conductors serving this outlet are to be connected to earth ground at the service equipment or other acceptable building earth ground such as the building frame in the case of a high-rise steel-frame structure. Connections should be made with minimum AWG 14 copper wire intended for use on a 15 Amp circuit. The conductors used to connect the outlet to the line and to ground shall not be any longer than necessary and shall avoid unnecessary bends.
NOTE: An insulated grounding conductor that is identical in size and insulation material and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded circuit supply conductors, except that it is green with or without one or more yellow stripes, is to be installed as part of the circuit that supplies the outlet. Refer to Table 250-122 of the National Electrical Code regarding the appropriate size of the grounding conductor.
NOTE: Pressure terminal or pressure splicing connectors and soldering lugs used in the installation of the outlet shall be identified as being suitable for the material of the conductors. Conductors of dissimilar metals shall not be intermixed in a terminal or splicing connector where physical contact occurs between dissimilar conductors unless the device is identified for the purpose and conditions of use.

- Position the EGX-SF2 housing into side opening of CMS491/CMS492; (See Figure 4) OR, into top of projector mount plate in the CMS491C/CMS492C underneath the opening where the outlet box will be reattached. (See Figure 3) OR (See Figure 4)
- Reinstall outlet box in the EGX-SF2 housing. (See Figure 3) OR (See Figure 4)
- Rotate outlet box clockwise until it is in proper position to be secured to the EGX-SF2 housing. (See Figure 3) OR (See Figure 4)
- Tighten two Phillips screws to secure outlet box to EGX-SF2 housing. (See Figure 3) OR (See Figure 4)
