Step B6 – Mount controller in enclosure
Once you are satisfied that your wiring is properly connected and is securely fastened,
carefully slide the controller through the enclosure opening. Be very careful to position
the wires in such a way that they do not bind or get cut in the opening as the controller is
inserted.
As you slide the controller
through the opening, you
should also begin to slide the
locking collar forward (you
routed your wires
through
the
locking collar, right?)
Continue to insert the
controller, stopping
periodically to reposition loops
of wire and prevent binding
(see photo at right). Push the
controller all the way in, then
slide the collar forward.
Note
: this photo may show a
different controller model than
that included in your kit. Be
sure and use the wiring
instructions that are appropriate
for your controller model.
Do
not rely on this photo for
correct wiring connections!
The collar will lock into place
as you slide it forward. When
properly installed, the rubber
case gasket on the front of the controller will be compressed slightly, and the controller
will not slide around at all. Getting the collar locked in the proper position can be trying,
but it is important that the gasket be tight to prevent water leakage into the controller.
(The locking collar on your controller may have adjustment screws. Although the use of
these screws is pretty straightforward, we will note here that you could have difficulty
gaining access to the screws once the collar is all the way forward. If this is the case, you
will have to do a trial fit first, unlock the collar and slide it back to where you can access
the screws, adjust the screws according to the results of your trial fit, and finally lock the
collar back in place.)
