3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.5.2 Conduit Openings

Steel Enclosure
The Series 1000 and 2000 steel enclosure comes with a 1 1/16" knockout (3/4"
conduit) on the bottom of the enclosure, and a 7/8" knockout (1/2" conduit) on
top of the enclosure. To remove a knockout, use a flathead screwdriver (or other
rigid device) to puncture the indentations first, and then pry off and discard the
knockout.
Outdoor Enclosure
The bottom panel and lower half of the side panels work best for conduit opening
locations in outdoor single meter enclosures. Select the location that makes wire
installation easiest for the given environment. If the side panels are used, holes
should be centered approximately half an inch from the bottom of the enclosure.
Hole sizes must be appropriate to fittings, and large enough to fit all voltage and
CT wiring (4-10 18 AWG min. wires insulated for 600 V min.). Care should be
exercised to keep drill bit away from components inside the enclosure. UL Type
4X conduit and fittings must be used in order to maintain the outdoor rating
of the enclosure.

3.5.3 Mounting Procedure and Conduit Installation

1. For outdoor enclosures, attach the mounting brackets to the back of the
enclosure with the four provided screws as shown in Figure 4.
2. Fasten the enclosure to the selected surface using the provided mounting holes
(steel enclosure) or mounting brackets (plastic enclosure).
3. Verify that the enclosure is not loose and that all connections are secure.
4. Attach the conduit between enclosure and load center, routing wires as
necessary for later use.
5. Make sure the conduit fittings are aligned properly and tightened securely to
prevent moisture from entering the enclosure (outdoor applications).
