INSTALLATION
Please note: the unit should be fixed to a rigid flat surface as unevenness could cause damage to the product or affect the operation
- Provide power to the required point of installation (refer to BS7671 for correct cabling methods)
- Remove the front assembly from the backbox and carefully lift off the gasket. Drill the required number of fixing holes in the backbox (see Fig. 1)
- Using the backbox as a template, mark the location for, and drill the fixing holes ensuring not to infringe with any gas/water pipes or electrical cables. The backbox can be rotated through 180° if required, to position the two cable entries on the top
The backbox has drain hole drilling guides marked (see Fig. 2). Drilling a drain hole is advised if the unit is installed in a location subject to temperature fluctuations where a build-up of condensation may occur. It is not advised if the unit will be subject to spray or jets, as drilling a drain hole will reduce the IP rating. A 3-5mm hole can be drilled at the bottom back edge of the enclosure where marked. If the wiring in conduit to the bottom entry, then the drain hole should be drilled at the lowest point of the conduit run not in the backbox - Remove one or more of the pre-fitted blank plugs as required by pushing out from the inside and install a suitable IP rated gland or adaptor (not supplied). For rear entry, cut or drill a 20/25mm hole where marked and install a suitable IP-rated grommet (not supplied). Unused cable entries must have the blank plugs fitted
- Feed the mains cable into the unit and secure the base plate to the surface. The fixing holes are slotted to allow some rotational adjustment
- Replace the gasket onto the backbox, then wire, as shown in Fig. 3 ensuring the correct polarity, is observed: L – Live (brown), E – Earth (green/yellow), N – Neutral (blue)
- An earth connection must be made to the earth terminal of the socket. Use green/yellow sleeving on earth conductors that are not insulated. The earth terminal in the backbox is provided for convenience and does not need to be connected
- Check all electrical connections are secure with no loose strands of cable
- Ensuring the gasket does not become damaged or pinched, fit the socket assembly onto the backbox, taking care not to compress, damage, or trap any cables, and secure with the screws provided – do not overtighten
- Fit screw covers
- Switch on and checks for correct operation For security, and to prevent unwanted tampering with the product, a lug feature with a 6mm hole is provided to accept a padlock or similar locking security device (see Fig. 4).
