Weather-tight installation of the WRI400
A NEMA 4X certified cable gland should be used for a weather-tight installation when wires
enter or exit the WRI400.
The Bud Industries cable gland (part number N4-CG) is recommended (www.budind.com).
An appropriate cable gland should consist of: a black molded nylon body, a hex nut and a
cable nut with a rubber gasket and cable seal.
Choose the appropriate cable gland size depending on the number and type of cables used
in each installation.

Typical Cable Gland
Non weather-tight installation of the WRI400
When the WRI400 is located where weather tightness is not required, use cable entry/exit
connectors that comply with local electrical codes (i.e. conduit, etc.).
Drill hole(s) in the WRI400 enclosure to accommodate the size and number of entry/exit
connectors to be used (refer to diagram above).
To avoid damage to electronics inside the enclosure when drilling, use light pressure
so that the bit does not penetrate very far when it breaks through the enclosure, or
remove electronics from the enclosure before drilling.
Mounting the WRI400
Follow these steps to permanently attach the WRI400 enclosure to its desired location.
1. Place the WRI400, cover removed, against the wall in the position where it successfully
linked.
2. Mark the four mounting holes at the corners of the WRI400 housing using the housing
as a template.
3. Remove the WRI400 and drill the four holes,

” diameter drill bit, 1
C\v
” (44 mm) deep.
4. Orient the WRI400 vertically with the radio board at the top of the enclosure.
5. If the wall does not adequately support the WRI400 wall anchors should be used (not
included).
6. If mounted on a non-metallic surface or where no metal is within 1 inch (25 mm) of
the back of the WRI400, attach the WRI400 directly to the wall using appropriate #8
mounting hardware.
7. If mounted on a metallic surface or where metal is within 1 inch (25 mm) of the back of
the WRI400, attach the WRI400 1 inch (25 mm) from the wall.
8. For a metallic wall installation, a spacer kit is available by contacting Schlage technical
service. (Kit #K381-000-001 includes: four #8 x 1
