waterproofing category of the RB-8900-W is IEC 60529 IP56. However, protect the unit from the
weather (IEC 60945).
Before you close the hanger with the silicone sealant (for waterproofing), do the termination set-
ting (only for termination device, see section 2.11) and connect the cables. Do not open the hang-
er after it has been sealed.

posed part of those screws.

ble around the cable entrance.
