Because of the weight and size of the enclosure, you may want to remove the dome before
mounting. The enclosure may be mounted horizontally, vertically, or any orientation desired. A
vertical orientation is preferred because it reduces the thermal stress on the installed plugs. A
shady location is also preferred for the same reason. Refer to
and
for temperature specifications.
While mounting the enclosure, hold the enclosure securely to prevent personal injury or
damage to the enclosure.
