Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure the wall surface is flat and capable of supporting the 2.50kg unit. Use the provided external brackets for masonry surfaces or internal holes for direct mounting. Always verify that cable sizing is appropriate for the 16mm2 capacity. Maintenance should involve periodic inspection of the drop-down cover seal to ensure it remains free of debris, maintaining the IP65 integrity. Keep the surface finish clean with a non-abrasive cloth to prevent long-term corrosion from environmental exposure.
