WAGOBOX XLA

Part No. 60358440
Installation Instructions

For BS EN 60670-22 Accessory

(see overleaf for Maintenance Free installation.)

The WAGOBOX XLA is simple to install just follow
these steps:

1. Decide on the arrangement of connectors for the
circuit to be installed using either the left or right side
of the WAGOBOX XLA. In this example the right side is
being used to connect a switch to a lighting circuit.

2. Prepare the cables by stripping back 70 - 80mm of

the outer sheath.

3. Select the appropriate connectors for the circuit.

4. Connect up the circuit:

5. If there are cross connections between the two
sides of the WAGOBOX XLA these connections should
be made before the connectors are slid into place.
These consist of single core wires cut to length.

6. Next set up the cable grippers to suit the cable
diameter. The grippers are designed to work with cable
diameters between 3mm and 15.5mm. There are 6
gripper positions available, with each position altering
the clamp diameter by +/- 2.5mm.

Typical gripper selections:

2
3
4
5
6

7. Note: It is possible to
install cables of dierent
sizes into the same gripper.
Cut the gripper along the
at section into two or three
parts depending on the
dierent sizes being tted.
We suggest keeping similar
cable sizes together in the
same slot.

10.5mm
13mm

8. Install the largest
cable at the bottom
of the gripper slot
rst. Then the next
size on top and the
smallest last. Fit the
gripper rst, then
each section of cable
in turn to prevent the
cables moving up
the gripper slot.

9. Where cables are the same diameter, put the
grippers into place rst, then put the connectors in
position leaving the cables projecting out of the

enclosure.

10. Then
simply slide
the cables
down into
the gripper

slots.

11. Repeat installation process for left hand side of the
WAGOBOX XLA. The example below illustrates how the
WAGOBOX XLA can be used to connect a switching
circuit (right side) to four light ttings (left side).

12. Once cable
installation is complete,
the WAGOBOX XLA
lid can be closed and
secured using the
cable-tie locking points.

13. If required the
WAGOBOX XLA can be
xed to a surface using
the xing button feature.
Simply x the button in
the required position and
slide the WAGOBOX XLA
into place using one or
both of the xing slots in
the base.

Connectors

The WAGOBOX XLA general purpose electrical
enclosure is designed to be used with the WAGO 222
and 773 series connectors.

Overview

The WAGOBOX XLA is rated up to 450V and can
support conductor sizes from 0.08mm2 to 6mm2.

The maximum permitted number of separately supplied
individual circuits is 2.

The maximum number of individual conductor
connections is 36, based on the installation of twelve
3-core cables of 1mm2.

The maximum number of 6mm2 connections is 12,
based on installation of six 3-core cables.

The cable clamps can grip up to 12 cables with an
overall diameter between 3mm and 15mm.

Familiarisation

1. The internal layout of the WAGOBOX XLA can be
considered as two halves, a left and right side with a
smaller central connector receptacle between the two.

2. There are seven connector receptacles inside the
WAGOBOX XLA. The centre receptacle (4) provides
some extra capacity and can be used with WAGO 221

series connectors.

3. Both the left and right side of the WAGOBOX XLA
have 3 slots for 222 and 773 series connectors

(numbered 1, 2, 3 & 5, 6, 7).

4. The WAGOBOX XLA is designed to support either
one or two circuits that can be supplied together or
separately. It is important to ensure that this is indicated
on the lid using permanent marker or labels.

5. When two separate circuits are being supported
no connections between the left and right side are
permitted. Each side must be dedicated to one circuit

only.

6. When a single circuit is being supported then cross
linking between each side of the enclosure is permitted.

2273 & 221 Series Connector
Adapters

The WAGOBOX 2273 and 221 connector adapters
should be used when using WAGO 2273 and 221
series connectors with the WAGOBOX XLA to ensure
compliance with BS EN 60670-22.

The adapters are intended to be tted into the
connector receptacles inside the WAGOBOX XLA.
Each adapter provides a slot designed to hold the
appropriate connector type safely and securely
preventing excessive movement and inadvertent
extraction of the connector or connected wire.

The adapters are
supplied at. To use, fold
into a rectangular shape
with the side ns facing
inward. Insert into the
connector receptacle.

Installation Instructions

Instructions for BS 5733-MF Accessory

In situations where you need to install a WAGOBOX XLA
in an inaccessible location then the following instructions
must be followed. This will ensure your completed
accessory complies with the requirements of BS 5733
for a maintenance free accessory.

1. For maintenance free locations only WAGO 222, 773,
2273 and 221 connectors must be used. Note that 2273
and 221 connectors require the use of adapters.

2. BS 5733 only permits single circuits to be terminated
into a maintenance free accessory.

3. Apply BS 5733 Rating Requirements. Please note the
connector ratings in the table below are dierent to those
published by WAGO. These connector ratings must be used
when selecting appropriate connectors to assemble a BS
5733 maintenance free accessory.

The Single Side Max Aggregate current (Iag) is the sum of all
the possible currents through either the left or right side
of the WAGOBOX XLA in normal use. This limit must not be
exceeded. Usually the max Iag equals the number of phase
terminals multiplied by the rating of the Overcurrent
Protective Device for the circuit. There are some
exceptions to this rule so if you are in anyway unsure
how to calculate the maximum Iag please consult a
qualied electrician or contact Connexbox Ltd for support.

4. Follow the BS EN 60670-22 installation instructions
ensuring all the phase connectors are neatly tted into the
receptacles in the WAGOBOX XLA.

5. Secure the WAGOBOX XLA lid using the tie-wrap locking
points.
