Does the box come with terminals included?
Yes, this model includes a pre-installed 5-pole Wago terminal block.
Can I use this box outdoors?
Yes, the high IP rating makes it suitable for outdoor installations where protection from weather elements is required.
What are the dimensions of the junction box?
The junction box measures 95mm x 95mm with a depth of 60mm.
Do I need to purchase cable glands separately?
Yes, appropriate cable glands for your specific cable sizes are required to maintain the IP rating and must be purchased separately.
What type of terminals are used?
This box features a 5-pole Wago terminal block for quick and secure wire connections.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress detected inside the box.
Ensure all cable glands are correctly installed and tightened. Check the lid seal for damage and replace if necessary. Verify the box is securely closed.
Terminal connections feel loose.
Re-open the box, ensure conductors are properly stripped and inserted fully into the Wago terminals. Re-secure the terminals according to Wago terminal instructions.
Difficulty fitting 4mm² conductors.
Ensure the conductor strands are neatly twisted and inserted into the terminal. For very stiff conductors, slight pre-tinning may be used, but is generally not recommended for Wago terminals.
