7.2.3 Mains Wire installation and termination
Fig. 4
Install the mains wire through the cable gland above shown (Fig.
4 and 5). Cable gland is M16x1.5 type, outer cable diameter
should be between 4mm and 8mm. All glands shall be mounted
and tight, or closed with a gland cap if not in use. If not closed, it
may create condensation inside the box and damage the
electronics, and will not be covered by warranty.
The mains connection is a 3-pole 5.08mm type PCB-mounted
terminal block, with polarity engraved on the PCB and shown in
7.2 of this document.
DMX Wire termination
Connection of DMX data to the WhiteBox series is provided with a
mount terminal block on the PCB. Input and Output connections are
shown in 7.2, and engraved on the PCB with GND (for ground), - (for
Data -) and + symbols (for Data +). Cable gland is M16x1.5 type,
outer cable diameter should be between 4mm and 8mm. All glands
shall be mounted and tight, or closed with a gland cap if not in use. If
not closed, it may create condensation inside the box and damage the electronics, and will not be
covered by warranty.

Installing the cover and overlay
Before closing the cover lid, connect the overlay flat (FFC) cable with the contacts facing the main
PCB. The 6 screws (M6, hex type) on the back shall be tightened with a force limited torque wrench
or screwdriver. Recommended min to max force is 1.5-2Nm. It’s crucial that the lid is properly
tightened in order to secure full water proof capability. If the box is not closed properly, humidity
and water ingress will damage the electronics, and will not be covered by warranty.
If screw nest is damaged – replace the box with a new one. If cable gland, O-ring, insulation washer
or humidity vent is damaged – replace them immediately with a new piece.
For extreme temperatures and weather conditions contact manufacturer for further
recommendations.
