INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.3.3 Mounting Procedure and Conduit Installation
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the back of the enclosure with the four
provided screws as shown in Figure 6.
2. Fasten the enclosure to the selected surface via mounting holes.
3. Verify that the enclosure is not loose and that all connections are secure.
4. Attach the conduit between enclosure and load center, routing wires as
necessary for later use.
5. Make sure the conduit fittings are aligned properly and tightened securely to
prevent moisture from entering the enclosure (outdoor applications).
4.4
Installation of Voltage Lines
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, ensure service is disconnected
before any connections are made. Verify that branch circuit fuse specifications
meet local electric codes (see section 3.2).
For Small and Medium Enclosures
1. Field wired voltage connections are made to the Mini Meter terminal block. The
rated torque for these terminal blocks is 4.4 in-lb, and can be used with solid and
stranded copper wires, at 12-18 AWG.
2. Connect 300 V min. insulated wiring for Line voltages and Neutral to the
appropriate locations in the breaker panel, in accordance with all national and
local electrical codes; see Figure 10 for 1Ph, 2-wire applications; Figure 11 for 1 or
2 Ph, 3-wire applications; Figure 12 for 3 Ph, 4-wire applications.
3. Route wires through the conduit if not already done.
4. Trim the wire to the appropriate length to avoid coils of excess wiring.
5. For connections to the Mini Meter terminal, strip wiring to approximately .300
inches and connect to the appropriate terminals. Wires should be tightened so that
they are held snuggly in place, but do not to over-tighten, as this may compress
and weaken the conductor.
