2. Conduit Hole
The DIRIS DigiBOX A is shipped without the conduit holes; they will need to be cut on the left side, right side,
and/or the top. See the below drawings for recommended conduit hole locations.
1. Open the enclosure door, unscrew the two right ride screws, and lift the metal plate.
2. Cut the conduit holes only in the locations where conduit fittings will be installed. Conduit hole templates can
be found within the black bag that comes in the box.
3. To maintain the enclosure’s environmental rating, the installer must use conduit hubs/fittings* with the same
environmental rating as the enclosure.
4. Maintain spacing of at least ½ inch between conduit hubs/fittings and uninsulated live conductors.
5. Use “Grounding” conduit fittings* with built-in set screws. Run insulated copper conductors, 16awg or thicker,
from fittings to spar ground terminal blocks.
6. Route incoming voltage conductors at least ¼ inch away from current sensor and signal conductors. Route
current sensor conductors at least ¼ inch away from communication conductors.
7. Use cable ties to secure conductors to each other and to maintain spacing.

3. Install Mounting Feet to the Back of the Enclosure
1. The DIRIS DigiBOX A is shipped with the mounting feet in the bag.
Figure 2: Mounting feet and hardware provided with the DIRIS DigiBOX A.
2. Turn the enclosure so the back side is visible. Then place the mounting feet over the octagon pieces (you can
place the mounting feet horizontally, diagonally, or vertically) and fasten them with the ¼ inch -20 x 0.25 inch
SS, countersunk Phillips drive screws (torque limit is 30 in. lbs.).
Figure 3: Three ways to put the mounting feet on the enclosure (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal).
3. The enclosure is now ready to be mounted vertically (i.e. on a wall) or horizontally (i.e. on a table top).
4. To mount the unit, use #10-32 ¾ inch panhead screws and screw directly in the center of the cross on the
mounting feet.
Figure 4: Red dot indicates where to screw when mounting on surface.

4. Wiring of the system
Before wiring the system, make sure that the fuses are NOT installed. The fuses are to be installed AFTER all
wiring is complete.
Use class 1 conductors and the input voltage must be 480VAC L-L.
Make sure that the metal cover is still open inside the DIRIS DigiBOX A.
1. Behind the metal plate the prewired and the components that need to be wired can be seen.
2. Wire the voltage according to the designated fuse holder (L1, L2, L3, and N).
Figure 5: Wire the voltage based on the labeled fuse holders (note that the fuse holders are empty).
3. To make sure the product has the latest firmware, the product upgrade tool must be used.
a. Plug in a micro USB to the back of the DIRIS A-40.
Figure 6: The micro USB port on the DIRIS A-40.
b. Go to the website to download the Product Upgraded Tool:
https://www.socomec.com/product-upgrade-tool-software_en.html
c. Under the “Firmware” section, download the DIRIS A-40 firmware. Please note that the firmware
downloaded from the website is a zip file but DO NOT unzip the file, just directly upload the
file into Product Upgrade Tool.

f. Click browse and select the firmware folder that was downloaded. If you see the orange symbol that
means the software file selected is the same as the one on the DIRIS A-40 currently. If there is a
green symbol then that means an update is needed. If there is a red symbol it means that the
firmware selected is a lower version than the DIRIS A-40 currently has.
Figure 10: Product upgrade tool screen once the firmware is selected.
g. Click update if needed. Once the firmware is up to date you will see the following screen:
Figure 11: Product Upgrade Tool screen once update is complete.
4. Plug in the RJ12 cables to the DIRIS A-40 and feed the cable out of a conduit hole.
Note: Depending on the DIRIS A-40 purchased you should connect the communication protocol being used
at this point. For more detailed instructions on how to set up the communication protocols please refer to the
DIRIS A-40 instruction manual.
5. Maintain spacing of at least ½ inch between conduit hubs/fittings and uninsulated live conductors. Use cable
ties to secure conductors to each other and to maintain spacing.
