Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Check that all debris is removed from the lid and base seal. Ensure the lid fasteners are fully engaged. Verify cable glands are correctly installed and tightened.
Water ingress detected
Immediately disconnect power. Inspect all cable entries and the lid seal for damage or improper installation. Tighten cable glands and re-seal lid. If damage is found, replacement parts or the entire unit may be necessary.
Terminal connections are loose
Ensure the correct wire gauge (0.75-4 mm²) is being used. Re-insert wires firmly into the terminal blocks and tighten screws securely.
