    2.4 Wiring 2.4.1 Ethernet Wiring If the 8507 is installed outdoors or in a wet environment, an outdoor-rated network cable with an LLDPE jacket or equivalent for water and UV protection must be used. To meet IPX9 ingress protection, the wiring shroud must be installed. To do this, the bayonet plug must be assembled, the drain tube must be installed, and the shroud must be attached.

  • Page 15: Shroud Assembly

    1. Slide the drain tube (U) over the drain fitting. The tube must be clear to drain any moisture that accumulates in the 8507 into the shroud. 2. Attach the shroud (R and S). The smaller hole is for the ethernet cable and the larger hole is for the AC cable.
