How to connect the Junction Box (UAIS transponder)
Mount the junction box where the junction box is protected from the rain and water splash.
Mounting:
1. Open the lid of the junction box and fix the junction box with the four tapping screws (5X20). Avoid bundling the
3.3 m cable of the junction box together with any power cable. This causes malfunction.
2. Connect cables to the terminal board (referring the cable connection below )
3. Fix the lid after connecting external equipment.
4. Clamp the cable with several U-type cable clamps (local supply) at suitable intervals.
