Expert Installation Advice: Cable Glands matter
The PA 10 is rated IP 66, but this rating is only valid if the cable entry is sealed correctly. Expert Tip: The housing has knockouts for cable glands. Always use an IP66-rated cable gland (not just a rubber grommet) and ensure it faces downwards or sideways to prevent water accumulation. When wiring for DC, polarity protection is built-in, but always verify +/- to ensure the correct tone stage activation.
