located on the mounting flanges with 3/8-inch (M8) hardware. The
lower enclosure (junction box) is supplied with a removable gland plate
that can be punched or drilled with wire entry openings. See Figure 2
for suggested locations. There must be a minimum of ½ inch (12.7 mm)
of material between wire entry holes. The recommended entry is via the

terminated with #6 ring or spade lugs. Torque the terminal block screws
to 10–12 in-lbs. (1.13–1.36 n-m) when attaching the spade lugs.
