Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Shims, Sealant

  1. Mount the enclosure

    Secure the A48H3620GQRLP enclosure to the wall using appropriate mounting screws. Ensure the surface is flat and use shims if necessary to keep the enclosure level.

  2. Install the interior panel

    If required, enlarge the panel hole(s) slightly to fit the interior panel into the enclosure. Ensure all mounting screws for the panel are tight.

  3. Connect the conduit

    Cut conduit holes in the enclosure as needed using a hole saw. Install conduit connectors ensuring they are properly aligned to prevent stress on the enclosure walls.

  4. Wire the connections

    Strip the ends of the wires and connect them to the terminal connectors inside the enclosure. Use a multimeter to verify all connections are secure and functioning.

  5. Adjust the door closing

    If the door does not close properly, check for levelness and use shims behind the mounting foot to correct any sagging. Tighten all screws to ensure a proper fit.
