Abstract
An apparatus for use in wiring a multi-configurable electrical device during installation thereof at point of operation includes a substrate defining a plurality of tabs separated by at least one gap. The tabs and the gap or gaps are arranged such that when the substrate is positioned proximate the electrical device, the tabs cover a first group of one or more wiring terminals of the electrical device and the gap or gaps provides access to a second group of one or more wiring terminals of the electrical device in accordance with a first wiring configuration of a plurality of possible wiring configurations. According to one exemplary embodiment, the substrate is generally rectangular and non-conductive. Visible indicia may be optionally disposed on the substrate (e.g., by adhering a label containing the indicia to the substrate) to provide information relating to wiring the electrical device according to the first wiring configuration.
