Conduit Seals
All conduit openings on the WIC must be completely sealed with a duct seal compound to prevent
moisture from entering the WIC. Use a moldable, flame-retardant putty style duct seal material. Do not
use an expanding foam seal. Mold the putty so that the open space around the wire or conduit is
completely sealed, as shown in Figure 12. If the openings must be accessed at any time, remove the
putty and set it aside. When work is complete, re-mold the putty to re-seal the opening.

Verifying the Installation
Verify that earth ground and all grounding and bonding is complete and functional. After verifying that
all installer connections are secure and complete, apply voltage.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
In the event that the enclosure must be opened in freezing conditions, use a narrow, pointed metallic object such as a screwdriver or chisel,
along with a non-metallic device like a rubber mallet, to remove excessive ice buildup around the door and locking mechanism. A
commercial aerosol de-icer spray can be used to free up locks and latches if needed. Use protective gloves and safety glasses when
applying de-icer sprays.
Reset the GFCI duplex receptacle periodically to ensure it is working. The unit meets UL-943, which requires an auto-monitoring (self-
testing) feature. A flashing or solid red LED indicates a fault. If the unit continues to show a fault after resetting, replace the unit.
Refer to the CTMS manual supplied with the CTMS for periodic maintenance requirements.
