Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
1. Remove backplane from the enclosure prior to mounting (do not discard hardware).
2. Mark and drill desired inlets on the enclosure to facilitate wiring (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
3. Mount unit in the desired location. For wall mounting refer to Fig. 4, pg. 7.
For pole mounting installation refer to pg. 7 - (Using Optional Altronix Pole Mount Kit PMK1 - not included).
4. Install backplane inside the enclosure with hardware.
5. Set power switch, if applicable, to the OFF position (Fig. 2c, pg. 4).
6. Connect AC power (115VAC or 230 VAC) as follows: Green branch wire connects to earth (safety)
ground lug . (Fig. 2-3, pgs. 4-5).
Wire gauge range of connectors is 14 AWG to 11 AWG (1.6mm to 2.5mm diameter).
7. Select the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position for models WayPoint3,
WayPoint5, WayPoint7, and WayPoint7V (Reference Chart above) (Fig. 2a, pg. 4).
WayPoint1012V provides 12VDC only.
8. Set power switch to the ON position (Fig. 2b, pg. 4).
9. Measure output voltage at the terminals marked [–DC +] before connecting devices
(Fig. 2b, pg. 4, Fig. 3a, pg. 5). This helps avoiding potential damage.
Note: Power supplies mounted in weatherproof enclosures should be derated by approximately 50%
due to the harsh environmental conditions.
10. Set power switch to the OFF position (Fig. 2b, pg. 4).

11. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [–DC +] (Fig. 2b, pg. 4, Fig. 3b, pg. 5).
12. Connect optional stand-by battery to the terminals marked [– BAT +]. Battery leads included.
Enclosure accommodates up to two (2) 12VDC/7AH batteries. If larger batteries are required, they need to
be mounted in a separate NEMA rated enclosure adjacent to the power supply (Fig. 2b, pg. 4, Fig. 3b, pg. 5).
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in a loss of output voltage.
13. Set power switch, if applicable, to the ON position (Fig. 2c, pg. 4).
14. Upon completion of the wiring secure enclosure door with latches and optional lock.
CAUTION: Equipment to be installed / serviced by authorized / trained personnel only.
Shut branch circuit power before installing / servicing equipment.
WARNING: When installing in a non-restricted service area, use lock or other fastened means on door
latches. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to the
National Electrical Code and all local codes.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of impor-
tant operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open enclosure.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Wall Mount Installation
1- Place unit at desired location and secure with mounting
screws (not included) (Fig. 4, pg. 7).
Fig. 4
Pole Mounting Using Optional Pole Mount Kit PMK1 (not included):
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel. This product contains no serviceable parts.
PMK1 is intended for use with Altronix outdoor rated power supplies or accessories housed in WP1, WP2, WP3
and WP4 enclosures. Brackets are designed for use with the Wormgear Quick Release Straps (two included).
1. Thread one (1) wormgear quick release strap through the slots on the back of a mounting bracket (Fig. 5, pg. 7).
2. Once the desired height of the top Pole Mount bracket is achieved, tighten the straps down by sliding open
end of the strap through the locking mechanism on the strap, then tighten the screw with
flat head screwdriver or 5/16” hex socket driver (Fig. 6, pg. 7 and Fig. 8, pg. 7).
3. Attach the bottom bracket to the enclosure by inserting bolts through the flange of the enclosure and into the
bracket, tightening bolts with a 7/16” hex socket (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
4. Thread the second wormgear quick release strap through the slots on the back of the bottom mounting
bracket (Fig. 5, pg. 7).
5. Mount enclosure onto the top bracket by inserting bolts through flange of the enclosure and into the bracket,
tightening bolts with a 7/16” hex socket (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
6. Tighten the straps of the bottom bracket down by sliding the open end of the strap through the locking
mechanism on the strap, then tighten screw with flat head screwdriver or 5/16” hex socket driver (Fig. 8, pg. 7).
7. Clip excess straps.
