- Unpack the shipping box. Inside you will find one (1) Extenda-Lite PLMT
spring loaded mounting bracket, and a tapered boss with hardware, that will be
mounted on the Junction Box.
- Inspect the box and all items inside for damage. Report any damage to the
delivering carrier immediately. If there is any damage, save the box and all
packing materials.
- Select the location for your new PLMT bracket. Make sure there are no pipes
or wiring that will be damaged when the mounting holes are drilled. Make sure
the spring loaded pull pin is easy to reach and pull, so you can release The
Junction Box from the PLMT apparatus Bracket. You can hang the Junction Box from
the top of a compartment or mounted so that it is setting on the compartment
floor and pushed into the PLMT bracket.
- Mark, center punch and drill each of the two (2) 5/16" holes for the
PLMT bracket.
- Make sure the Junction Box is disconnected from any power source. If not,
disconnect before proceeding.
- Have a licensed electrician remove one of the Junction Boxes' side
faceplates. After the screws are removed, carefully move the faceplate away from
the box. The faceplate is prewired, and you will not be able to completely
remove the faceplate from the Junction Box. Just pull the faceplate away two or
three inches so that you have a little working room.
- At the opposite end of the box from where the power source inlet connection
is made, drill a 21/64" hole in the center of the casting. The center of
the hole will be approximately 2-1/2" down for the top and 2-3/4" in
from either side of the Junction Box.
- Make sure that when you drill the hole nothing is going to interfere or be
hit by the drill bit.
- All drill shavings must be vacuumed out of the Junction Box to prevent
possible short circuits.
- Insert the 5/16" -18 x 1-1/2" stainless steel, socket head bolt
through the center of the tapered, aluminum boss.
- Now push the stainless steel socket head bolt through the drilled hole in
the Junction Box and tighten down the lock nut. Make sure that the holes in the
boss line up with the PLMT, in the position it will be mounted.
- Carefully reinstall faceplate in the same manner as it was removed.
- Test the Junction Box to make sure that everything is working correctly and
that it is clean and ready to be put back into service.
