Installation Instructions
The IP66 rating can only be achieved when the cover is
pressed down firmly so that any cable runs through the
centre of the cable outlet, and is fully enclosed by the
special seal. Always ensure that the cover is located
correctly in place. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
1. Ensure that mounting surface is flat and free from loose
particles and dirt.
2. Lift the lid then remove the upper portion from the back
box by removing the 4 screws on installation. Please
note that it is important to use a screwdriver of a size
that allows you to properly tighten these screws on
installation.
3. If necessary take the back box and drill a small hole
through the drainage point that will be at the lowest
point when mounted. This is necessary to ensure that
any residual moisture or condensation has an escape
route at the back of the box.
4. Use a suitable drill/wall plug for the surface on which
you are mounting your weatherproof enclosure and
use No.8 countersunk screws (not supplied) to secure
the back box through the 4 corner holes.
5. Remove a suitable cable entry cover by pushing
through from the inside of the back box. If
circumstances permit the best entry point for the
supply cable is the bottom one.
6. If cable entry is via 20mm conduit use the conduit
gland to secure the conduit to the back box. If entry of
cable is to be direct use a suitable IP rated cable
gland.
