Power and IO cables pass through a waterproof connector. The
Ethernet cable should be routed through a rubber seal plug. All
cables are user-supplied.
1. Disassemble the components of the waterproof
connector into parts (A) ~ (F) as shown above.
2. Place the screw nut (E) on the Power and GPIO
opening.
3. Feed the power cables through the waterproof
connector (F --> E --> D --> B --> A) as the
illustration shows. Then connect the power
cables to the power source. Note: There are 8
holes on the seal (D), and the widest holes with
a crack on the side are specic for power cables.
4. If you have external devices such as sensors
and alarms, feed the cables through the
