Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your outdoor outlet box. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before beginning.

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable outdoor location for mounting, ensuring it is accessible and provides adequate protection for the wiring.
2. Prepare Wiring: The box features pre-knockout designs for wiring entry from the back, bottom, or side. Carefully remove the appropriate knockout for your wiring path.
3. Mount the Box: Securely mount the outlet box to a flat, stable surface using appropriate screws and anchors (not included). Ensure a tight seal against the mounting surface.
4. Wire Connections: Connect the electrical wires according to the wiring diagram below. The internal space is ample for easy wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
   • Connect the Live Wire (typically black or red) to the terminal marked 'L'.
   • Connect the Neutral Wire (typically white) to the terminal marked 'N'.
   • Connect the Ground Wire (typically green or bare copper) to the terminal marked with the ground symbol.
5. Close and Seal: Once wiring is complete and verified, carefully close the cover, ensuring the gasket creates a tight seal. Latch the cover securely.
6. Restore Power: Turn on the power at the circuit breaker. Test the outlets for proper functionality.

Important Note: Please measure your plug length before ordering. Any plug exceeding 2 inches (5 cm) will prevent the weatherproof cover from closing properly, compromising the IP66 rating.
