FAQs
For outdoor installations, plan a weatherproof mounting location compatible with a NEMA 3R enclosure. Ensure proper clearance for wiring and service access, verify two-pole, two-wire connections, and use appropriate lugs and conduits. The DG222URB supports reliable operation in damp or rain-prone locations, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
DG222URB is UL Listed and designed to meet NEC requirements, including NEC 230.62 barrier guidance for safe enclosure separation. The unit’s general duty designation aligns with typical industrial control circuits, while the weatherproof NEMA 3R enclosure supports code-compliant outdoor use. Always confirm installation with NECA/field standards and use the proper neutral kit if service entrance configuration is needed.
The catalog notes warn that the switch is not approved for service entrance unless a neutral kit is installed. If you require service entrance functionality, plan to add the appropriate neutral kit and verify compatibility with your wiring scheme. This ensures compliance and safe operation in line with NEC guidance.
Plan for a footprint of 7.38 inches in depth, 14.38 inches in height, and 8.69 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 9 pounds. These dimensions support straightforward integration into standard electrical spaces and cabinets while leaving room for wiring, lugs, and handy service access.
The DG222URB carries a one-year warranty from installation (or 18 months from shipment), whichever occurs first, reducing risk and replacement costs. Its UL Listed certification and robust NEMA 3R enclosure minimize weather-related failures, delivering reliable uptime, lower maintenance expenses, and predictable total cost of ownership for outdoor or damp-location applications.
