Anti-moisture measure (vent tube)

The vent tube (attached) prevents moisture from being drawn into the enclosure during
atmospheric pressure changes and allows trapped humid air to escape. Install it according to
coupler installation method, before mounting coupler.

Vertical or horizontal installation

Two vent holes are provided on the coupler, one at the bottom and one on the rear. The vent
tube is set to vent hole B at the factory. This location is for vertical installation of the coupler. For
