Note The cable gland accepts a cable diameter of 0.20 to 0.35 in. (0.51 to 0.89 cm).
Step 5 Insert a bare end of the DC power cable into the rounded end of the cable gland (see Figure 2-35), and
pull approximately 6 inches of cable through the adapter.
Warning
When installing the DC power cable, ensure that cable gland and the rubber gasket are present and
installed properly, to avoid water leakage into the enclosure. See Figure 2-35 and Figure 2-37.
Step 6 Strip the DC cable jacket back about 1 inch to expose the wires and strip the insulation about 3/8 inch
(9.5 mm) from each wire.
Step 7 Insert each wire into the two-position terminal strip (supplied), and tighten each wire using a 0.1 inch
(0.25 cm) flat screw driver (see Figure 2-36).
