1. To install trunk cable into DeviceBox tap cut and strip gray
PVC cable back approximately 4 inches (see Figure 7)
and insert through large cable gland.
5. To attach cable to terminal strips, press down on cage
clamp, insert wire and release cage clamp. Repeat
process for remaining four wires.
2. Loosen gland nut and insert cable until approximately 1/8
inch of cable jacket protrudes.
6. To install drop cable into DeviceBox tap, cut and strip drop
cable back approximately 2 inches (see Figure 7). Note:
Repeat previous trunk cable instructions.
3. Then firmly tighten gland nut to provide strain relief and
sealing. Caution: The flange hex must be held with the
cable gland wrench during tightening.
7. After all cables are terminated, the cover should be
installed and securely tightened to ensure washdown
rating. Seal unused drop positions with nylon plugs, o-ring
seals, and nuts (included in accessory kit).
4. The bare wire ends should be firmly twisted to eliminate
loose strands and each lead looped approximately as
shown, to allow insertion into the clamping cavity of the
terminal block. (See Figure 2 for color codes.)
..
Follow same installation instructions for 2- and 4-port
DeviceBox taps.
All external wiring should conform to the national electric code
and applicable local codes.
ATTENTION: Be certain to use insulating tubing
(included in accessory kit) on bare drain wire.
