Mounting and Wiring
Mount the enclosure using the four 0.31-inch (8 mm) diameter holes located on the mounting flanges with 5/16-inch (M6) hardware.
Remove front panel and drill or punch wire entry openings in the rear enclosure, or gland plate when present. See Figure 2 for suggested locations.
There must be a minimum of ½ inch (12.7 mm) of material between wire entry holes. The recommended entry is via the enclosure bottom to prevent
moisture from dripping onto the terminals. Top entry is not recommended. Basic wiring connections are shown on Figure 3. Use GAI-Tronics
60029 Series multi-party cable or 60038 Series single party cable terminated with #6 spade lugs. Torque the terminal block screws to 8–10 in-lbs.
(0.90–1.13 n-m) when attaching the spade lugs.
Ensure any unused openings are sealed with proper fittings per local standards. All metric cable entry devices and blanking elements shall be
certified for Zone 2/22 applications with an IP66 rating, suitable for conditions of use and correctly installed. Use field wiring suitable for the
ambient temperature.
