Mounting the H290 AC outlet accessory
H290 installs in either of 2 locations
The H290 accessory brings AC power
inside the H218, H236 or H254
enclosure. The H290 gives the
installer a clean, UL approved location
to mount power adaptors. Mount the
H290 to either the upper right or upper
left corner of the enclosure using the
four #6 screws provided. Installation
of AC outlets should be done only by a
qualified electrician.

Installing the cover
An old electrician’s trick …
When hanging a heavy cabinet cover,
insert nails through the mounting holes
on the cover. Guide the nails into the
mating holes on the enclosure and let
the cover hang from the nails while you
attach the screws. (We’ve included two
of these sophisticated devices for your
assistance.)
The H290 provides space for 4
standard duplex receptacles.
Wires should exit the H290 using
the grommets provided. The
grommets may be cut as shown.
After cabling is routed, reverse
paint shield and return it to the
enclosure to protect cabling.
If H290 is installed, fold flaps on the
paint shield to bend the shield over
the H290 AC outlet accessory.
Grounding the cabinet
When used with model H290 accessory, the grounding lug on the
H290 is used. No separate ground lug is provided on the H218,
H236 or H254. The user must install ground lugs as necessary.
