Product Usage Instructions

1. Inspect the wall where you want to mount the enclosure. Ensure that the wall is flat to prevent distortion of the enclosure when tightened. If the wall is not flat, use shims if necessary.
2. Make sure that the wall structure has sufficient strength to support both vertical and horizontal loads.
3. The wall surface should extend beyond the back panel on every side. Do not install the enclosure with the back panel extending beyond the edge of the wall.
4. Remove the door, top lid, bottom plate, and both vertical bracket assemblies for ease of installation.
5. Locate the wall studs, typically 16 inches on center in most U.S. cases.
6. PANDUIT recommends mounting the top of the enclosure at 6 feet from the floor. Ensure at least 4 inches of clearance on the left and right sides of the enclosure and 10 inches of clearance from the bottom of the enclosure to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
7. Mount the enclosure to the wall studs using 3/8 lag screws and washers (not provided). The screws must penetrate wood studs at least 1.5 inches after accounting for wall material thickness.
8. Ensure there is a minimum clearance of 4 inches for cable knock-outs and electrical knock-outs.
