  • Page 2   If ALL of the tests on your circuit produce the proper result, turn the breaker off and it is safe to plug your Powerbox into the outlet. If ANY of the test combinations do not produce the expected result, the circuit is wired incorrectly. Do not plug in the Powerbox. Have the circuit checked by an electrician.
  • Page 3 If installing a Powerbox hardwire model, select a standard metal junction box of sufficient size (roughly 5”x5”) where the incoming conduit will terminate and the panel wires will join with the wires from the Powerbox. Mount the junction box securely to the wall. Use Split-Bolt Connectors to join wires together, and once joined, wrap each connection with four turns of self-fusing amalgamating tape, followed by four turns of black electrical tape.
  • Page 4 Digital Timer using a small paperclip. IF THE TIMER DISPLAY IS STILL HARD TO READ OR APPEARS FADED OUT: Verify that the neutral wire is properly connected at the main panel and at the point where it connects to the Powerbox. This Powerbox requires a true neutral connection to function properly. If you have verified that the neutral wire is properly connected, and the timer display still appears faint, the internal backup battery needs recharging.
