LOCKING THE ENCLOSURE

The 1800 enclosure can be locked by installing a small luggage-style pad-

lock through the loop on the front door of the enclosure. See Figure below.

GROUNDING

Connect a heavy gauge (#14AWG) copper wire to the earth ground termi-

nal on the right end of the panel and connect the other end to a ground rod

or metal cold water pipe. It is extremely important that the earth ground

connection be as short as possible. The ground rod should have sufficient

depth to provide a low impedance connection to earth. This connection is

required for the surge/lightning protection circuits to function properly.

Note: Proper earth grounding of the 1800 is required for warranty

coverage.

Ground rods can typically be found at local electrical supply houses and/or

hardware stores. Be sure to contact your state “Call before you dig” hotline

at least two days before you install your ground rod, to insure that it is safe

to install the ground rod in a chosen area.

WIRING CONNECTORS

The 1800 includes compression-type liquid-tight connectors for routing

wires into the enclosure. To use these connectors, turn them counter-

clockwise to loosen (or open-up) the compression washer. Insert all cables

through the two connectors. When finished turn them clockwise to secure

and seal the 1800 from the outside environment. If you don’t have enough

cables to obtain a snug fit you can insert a small piece of soft PVC insula-

tion or rubber tubing to take up the extra space.
