Preparation
Check that the distribution boxes are undamaged before starting installation. Do not use and install
any damaged distributors and components.
Observe all necessary safety precautions and carry out all work preparations before proceeding with
mounting.
Read all the included data sheets and manuals before mounting the distributor.

Mounting the distribution box
In the first step, the distribution box must be mounted, if necessary using the existing mounting op-
tions or on a suitable base provided for this purpose.
Make sure that:
•
all necessary protective conductor connections have been made at the end of the installation.
•
the distribution box is always mounted on the designated mounting surface.
•
the distributor is installed on a non-flammable surface.
•
all mounting points on the housing are used.
•
suitable mounting material is used.
•
there is adequate clearance on all sides of the distribution box.
•
the distribution box can be accessed at all times for visual inspections.
•
the distribution box is not exposed to direct sunlight.
•
no water can accumulate at the sealing points of the housing and the connector.
For information relating to the dimensions and bore hole sizes, read chapter 7 "Dimensions", p. 12.

Connecting the leads
The plugging in of the connectors or the connection of the cables must only be carried out after the
distribution box has been installed.
