Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite proper installation

Ensure that the correct HENSEL cable entry system (AKM or LES) is used and properly installed. Verify that all knockouts not in use are sealed with appropriate blanking plugs. Check the lid seal for damage and ensure the lid is securely fastened.

Terminals feel loose or connection is intermittent

Confirm that the conductor is stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the terminal. Ensure the clamping screw is tightened securely according to specifications. Check that the conductor type and size are within the supported range (1.5-4 mm²).

Box lid is difficult to close or open

Check for any obstructions around the lid or fasteners. Ensure no cables are pinched between the lid and the box body. The quick-release fasteners may require slight adjustment; inspect them for damage.
