Troubleshooting

Water ingress into the box.

Ensure all cable glands are properly installed and tightened. Verify the lid is securely fastened and the gasket is intact. Check for any cracks in the housing.

Difficulty breaking pre-embossed entry points.

Use appropriate tools such as a knockout punch or a sharp utility knife. Apply steady pressure and rotate the tool for a clean break. Ensure the correct points are being targeted.

Terminals feel loose or do not grip wires.

Ensure the conductor size is within the specified range (max 6mm²). Check that the wire is stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the terminal. If the issue persists, the terminal may be damaged.

Box does not seal properly.

Inspect the lid gasket for damage or debris. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and that screws are tightened evenly to compress the gasket.
