Troubleshooting
Difficulty feeding cables through entry ports
Ensure the correct size cable gland is used or that the knockout port is fully opened. Use lubrication if necessary, ensuring it's compatible with the material.
Lid does not close securely
Check for obstructions on the seal or lid. Ensure all internal wiring is neatly managed and not impeding the lid closure. Verify lid fasteners are correctly aligned.
Reduced ingress protection after installation
Double-check that all cable entry points are fitted with appropriate, correctly tightened cable glands. Ensure the lid seal is clean and properly seated.
Terminals feel loose or do not grip wires firmly
Verify that the correct wire gauge is being used for the terminal. Ensure screws are tightened appropriately without overtightening, which can damage the terminal or wire.
