Installing the housing

With the surface prepared and/or the mount now installed, install the housing.
To install the housing, see Figure 9 on page 25 and do the following:
1. Remove either conduit knockout (side or top) in the housing.
2. Hold the housing up near the housing pass-through of the mount or cutout.
3. Connect a steel safety cable, if required by local codes.
a. Obtain a steel safety cable of 0.125 in. (3 mm) maximum diameter that complies with local codes.
b. Snip off the nipple that opens access to the safety cable clip.
c. Feed your safety cable through the exposed hole.
d. Secure one end of the safety cable into the safety clip surrounding the exposed hole inside
the housing.
e. Secure the other end of the safety cable to the building superstructure.
WARNING:
4. Feed the facility cables through the opened conduit hole of the housing. Allow enough cable length to
make connections. Figure 9 on page 25 shows how the cables run through the housing.
CAUTION:
5. Attach the housing to the mount or ceiling by screwing the housing tabs open and down.
DO NOT run any cables next to the heaters. Doing so could damage the dome or cause an electrical fire.
For safety, the mounting surface, hardware, and procedure used for securing the dome must support the
weight of the dome, mount (if used), cables, and any structural or environmental vibration according to local
codes. See Table 1, Minimum load requirements of dome configurations on page 9.
