3. Installation
Always keep the
power cables
away from the
signal cables by
running them in different
conduits and using
separate distribution
boxes.
The Ilumipod
Inground IP
products can
support a distributed load
of up to 3,000 kg (6,614
lbs) when properly
installed.
Installation Notes
The Ilumipod Inground IP products consist of two parts, the product housing and the concrete
installation sleeve. The product housing is IP67 rated, but the installation sleeve is not. Please
pay close attention to the installation instructions for the concrete installation sleeve regarding
leveling and drainage.
You will have to run the AC power and signal cables into the concrete installation sleeve and
the product’s housing.
Do not use the product’s junction box to extend the power or signal cables to other units
because it may compromise the IP rating of the junction box. Instead, use individual cables
from the product to the corresponding distribution boxes.
Installation Sleeve Orientation
Orient the installation sleeve to allow the signal cable to enter the sleeve using one of the four
cable inlets and the power cable to use the opposite inlet, as seen in the figure. This will
reduce the stress to the signal and power cables when setting down the product, while keeping
them separated under the product’s housing.
Installation Sleeve Setup
When setting up the installation sleeve, make sure that any water that may have entered it can
drain out of the sleeve on its own. Locate the installation sleeve above the normal drainage
level so the product is never under more than 1 m of water (IP67) during heavy rain.
In addition, make sure that the installation sleeve and the stainless steel collar are horizontal
and even with the ground surface. This helps to distribute the load uniformly over the
product’s surface and avoids creating dangerous bumps.
