Cable Entry and Wiring Configuration 
 
Position the Junction box as far away from the revolving mechanism 
(dome) as needed to ensure the cable will not foul as the unit rotates.  
Some thought should be given to positioning the junction box over an 
internal cavity like a cupboard.   The cable length from the dome is 3.5M.   
 

 

 

 

Drill a 1 inch hole to allow easy insertion of the wiring loom and signal cables. 

IMPORTANT

 - DO NOT permanently seal the cables/loom into the roof/wall cavity.  

They should be fitted in such as fashion as to allow them to be easily removed (by 
feeding through) should the rooftop mechanism ever require servicing.
