Installing the PIDU Plus

Forming a drip loop

Form a drip loop on the cable from the LPU
moisture that runs down the cable into the cabinet or enclosure cannot enter the PIDU
Plus. The network connection and mains cable should be treated in the same way if
there is a risk that they can carry moisture to the PIDU Plus.

CAUTION
If the recommended gel filled drop cable is not used, it is possible for
moisture to enter the cable due to damage to the outer protective layer. This
moisture can track down the inside of the cable, filling up the drip loop and
eventually finding its way into the PIDU Plus. To protect against this, the
outer protective layer of the cable can be opened up at the bottom of the
drip loop to allow this moisture to escape.
