Mounting the J-Box
This section explains how to mount the J-Box to a
wall or pole.
Parts Required
Installation Kit (0351-1646-01) includes:
Screw, Self-tapping, 4.8x25, PHP 4 5810-5081-111
Anchor Bolt, ¼-20x2¼, w/Hardware 4 2880-0011

CAUTION: Before you begin, do the following:
− Mount the box near an accessible ac outlet.
− Always use dedicated, unswitched, and
properly grounded 24-hour ac power. Power
should be supplied in accordance with local
codes.
− Mount the J-Box so its power on/off switch is
readily accessible and its strain relief fittings
are face down.
Indoor Wall Mounting
Mount the J-Box to the wall as follows (Figure 2):
1. Using the upper and lower mounting brackets
of the box as templates, mark mounting hole
locations. The two center top slots in the upper
bracket match the bolt spacing used for older
J-Boxes.
CAUTION: J-Box meets NEMA 4 standard for
weatherproofing. To maintain this rating,
ensure holes drilled in the enclosure are
thoroughly sealed with silicone-based RTV
compound. All outdoor wiring must be through
conduit, and tighten the four plastic screws.
2. Install the J-Box to drywall, concrete, or wood
(see note below).
• Drywall: Use four self-tapping screws and
Nylon anchors provided.
• Concrete: Use four anchor bolts provided.
Use a 6.3mm (1/4in) masonry bit (not
provided) to drill screw holes.
• Wood: Use four self-tapping screws.
Note: To facilitate installation, use the two open
slots in the lower mounting bracket to rest the
box on the screws while inserting screws
through the upper bracket.
3. Tighten mounting hardware to secure the
J-Box.
