Chapter 3
Installation
3.1
Mechanical Installation
The lightbox can be permanently fixed to a wall, via the four mounting holes in the rear
panel - see the dra
wings available from www.thorlabs.com for details and
dimensions.
Furthermore, several metalwork knockouts are provided for grommets (supplied) and
cables when hard wiring the unit into an electrical system.
3.2
Electrical Connections
The unit is connected to the mai ns power using the cable supplied, via the IEC 14
connector on the right hand side - see Fig. 3.1.
Caution
Screws or fittings to attach the unit to the wall are not included. Always choose
M4 (8-32) screws and fittings which are suitable for use in your wall and have
enough holding power. Do not use screws with countersunk heads. If you are
uncertain, contact a specialised installer.
Note
The default configuration and labelling is for right-handed use, however the mounting
holes allow the unit to be mounted for left hand use.
Caution
The unit must be fixed securely to the wall before using the internal wiring option.
Do not use the internal wiring option when the unit is fixed via the keyed slots in
the rear panel.
Warning
The unit uses mains voltages. This is hazardous and can cause serious injury.
The unit must be installed only by suitably trained and qualified personnel who
understand the ha zards associated with using high voltages and the steps
necessary to minimize the risk of electrical shock.
Warning
If using a power cord other than that supplied, ensure that the cord is at least
equivalently rated (see Se ction 5.1. fo r power cord ratings) an d does not
exceed 3m in length.
Use only power cords with a factory supplied moulded IEC C13 connector. Do
not use cords fitted with rewirable connectors.
