5.8.1 Junction Box Installation
To install the junction box:
1. Prior to installation connect the 2 mounting brackets to the back of the junction box fastening
to the provided holes. The wall mounting hole orientation should be towards the outer edges
of the junction box.
2. Remove the junction box‟s cover, leaving the rubber gasket in place.
3. Prepare the cables for connection by performing the following:
a. Strip about 25.4 mm (1 inch) of the outer jacket of the cable to expose the wires.
b. Using a wire-stripping tool, expose about 6.3 mm (0.25 inch) of each of the wires by
stripping the wires‟ insulation.
4. Determine which cable entry holes are to be used and remove the appropriate plug.
Table 18 - Cable hole sizes
Cable Entry hole determination
Gland hole PG11 (M18) for cable terminating at MicroMAXe
Gland hole PG29 (M36) for cable 12AWG x6
Gland hole PG16 (M22) for cable 14AWG x2
Note: Save the rubber grommets from the plugs to be used on the weatherproof
glands (connectors).
5. Remove the nut on the weatherproof connector and slide the rubber grommet onto the
threaded shaft.
6. Set the weatherproof connector into the hole and from inside the box, thread the included nut
onto the shaft until tight.
7. Insert the exposed wires into the relevant screw-type terminal block (+ to + and – to –) and
then secure them in place by tightening the screw of each terminal.
8. Fasten the Junction box onto the pole or wall as required within the required distance of the
Air4G enclosure.
9. Perform the same procedure (steps 3-7) with the cable terminating in the in the Air4G
enclosure.
10. Open the connector clamp collar and feed about 101.6 mm (4 inches) of cable from the Air4G
through it and into the box. Tighten the collar around the cable, forcing the seal to compress
around the cable.
11. Replace the cover by using the four (4) screws, ensuring the gasket (for weatherproofing) is
firmly in place on the rim of the cover.
Note: It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for the cables. Create a
drip loop and strain relief using cable tie, to tie cable to pole, as displayed in the
figure below:
