Installation
The sleeper is designed to be root-mounted. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare a mounting hole at least 300mm deep and 300mm in diameter.
- For extra stability, attach a large wood screw into two sides of the sleeper approximately 200mm from the base to act as anchors in wet concrete.
- Connect the fitting to the power supply using a waterproof junction box.
- Ensure all connections are tight and watertight.
- Mount the sleeper into the location using supports to hold it upright. Ensure concrete or earth covers the anchor and at least 100mm above the base.
Wiring
The wiring connections are as follows:
- Neutral (N): Blue
