Installation Instructions

These products should be installed by a competent
person (eg. qualified electrician) in accordance
with these instructions and in compliance with the
appropriate clauses of the current edition of the IET or
IEC wiring and building regulations. Sockets should
be protected by a suitable RCD device.
The IP66 range is designed to be mounted on a
vertical flat surface, with socket outlets not more than
1.5 meters above the ground.
The rear box shall be mounted on the wall using four
number 8 wood screws.
If conduit is to be used then please follow the
instructions below:
The drain feature can be drilled out using a 5mm drill
if top or side entry conduit is used. Opening this drain
hole will reduce the IP rating of the product.
If bottom entry conduit is used, there must be
adequate drainage from the lowest point of conduit.
The relevant cable entry knockout should be carefully
removed.
The rear box is equipped with 20mm removable
blanks, if a 25mm entry is required the blank should
be left in place and drilled out using a suitable 25mm
hole saw. The centre position of the blank has been
pre marked for this purpose.
A waterproof cable or conduit entry must then be
fitted in its place.
If two cable entry positions are used with metal
conduit, then earth continuity between the conduits
must be maintained.
Ensure that the gasket is correctly fitted, and tighten
the four screws to fix the front cover in place. Do not
over tighten. Use of an electric screwdriver is not
recommended.
