• Make sure that the gaskets are not damaged.
• Make sure that the electrical cables are not damaged.
• Make sure that the electrical cables agree with the national electrical code.
• The cables are in a loop in front of the device 1 so water does not go into the housing.

• Close unused cable glands with dummy plugs 3.
The diameter of the outer sheath of the electrical cable (for the power supply and current output)
must be 6...10 mm or 0.24...0.39¨.
