How to Install the Multi-Purpose Wall Enclosure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Multi-Purpose Wall Enclosure, including mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, T25 Torx bit, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Bonding jumper (MSGK)

  1. Mount the enclosure

    Align the enclosure with the wall studs and push the mounting tabs out to 90°. Secure the enclosure using a minimum of #8 wood screws with at least 3/4" penetration into the wood studs.

  2. Install the mud guard

    Attach the mud guard to the enclosure prior to drywall installation to protect the interior from dust and debris.

  3. Install the front cover and trim plates

    Align the front cover with the threaded holes of the enclosure and secure it using (2) M5 screws with a T25 Torx bit. Repeat this process for the top and bottom trim plates.

  4. Connect the bonding jumper

    Install one end of the bonding jumper (MSGK) on the grounding lug inside the enclosure and secure it with the provided M5 serrated hex nut. Connect the opposite end to the grounding lug on the front cover.
