Warning: Mount the junction box in an orientation such that the cable ports
(located on the bottom) face downwards. This prevents rain water from
settling on the ports, thereby, avoiding damage.

For either mounting method, the mounting bracket provides mounting holes (displayed below):

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.
