To insert cables through the wire glands
:
The 2-hole wire gland will support up to 7mm diameter cables. (If using fiber, the optional fiber management kit
comes with replacement wire glands to accommodate fiber cables.)
A pre-terminated patch cord can be used with the wire glands. Here are the suggested installation steps:
•
Unscrew the wire gland nut from the ferule.
•
Push out the rubber insert from the inside of the switch (use a blunt tool so as not to damage the
insert).
•
Insert the pre-terminated cable(s) through the nut.
•
Insert the pre-terminated cables through the ferule into the switch (up to 2 cables if using the 2-hole
rubber insert; insert one cable at a time).
•
Connect the cable(s) to the connectors, allowing enough slack for a service loop.
•
Attach the split rubber insert around the cable with the chamfer facing out (down).
•
Squeeze the rubber insert and push it into the ferule.
•
Screw the wire gland nut back onto the ferule. The rubber insert will tighten around the cable as you go;
continue to tighten until the insert is snug around the cables
and plug any unused holes with the
provided hole plugs to maintain NEMA/IP rating and Warranty.
Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
Short segments of FMC are often used as circuit pigtails between junction boxes and fixtures. Whip assemblies
are available for sale and can save you time when you need several of these pigtails. Check local codes for more
NEC regulations on conductivity and grounding.
Cabling Procedure
For standard installs, plug the AC power cord into an outdoor-rated receptacle.
If you choose to hardwire the switch, perform these steps:
1.
Connect cable glands or ¾ NPT conduit connectors to the face of the switch. Ensure that connectors are fully
installed to guarantee waterproof operation.
2.
Thread outdoor rated waterproof AC cable (must comply with all local, national and country electrical codes)
from source through piping/gland to the terminal block.
Pair and secure ground, line, and neutral to the appropriate positions on the three pin terminal block and
reattach the protective covering.
Note
: if using the cable gland, the outer seal nut must be fully tightened to close rubber seal to protect
against ingress of water.
3.
The IEEE 802.3bt standard allows Cat 5e for 60W but requires Cat 6 cable for 90W.
4.
Using waterproof outdoor rated Cat5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable, thread through cable glands or conduit to the
appropriate RJ45 connector and ensure each portal is properly sealed.
