DESCRIPTION
These enclosures are designed for applications requiring a water resistant
instrument enclosure. The enclosures are fabricated of polycarbonate and are
designed to withstand NEMA 4X/IP65 wash-down applications. The enclosures
must be drilled to accept conduit fittings or other types of wiring connectors.
The enclosures can be used free-standing, or securely fastened to a mounting
surface.

ENC8A INSTALLATION
9. Connect the necessary wires to the unit for the application desired.
10. Assemble the enclosure with the screws provided. Alternately tighten each
screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure.
It is recommended to wire the unit before mounting it in the enclosure to
ensure good electrical connections. The following steps outline the most
common sequence for installing a unit without an MLPS1 attached.
1. Determine the location of the conduit fitting and drill the necessary hole.
Install the fitting and bring the wiring into the enclosure.
2. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel.
3. Assemble nut fastener and mounting screw onto both sides of the mounting
clip. The tip of the screw should not project from the hole in mounting clip.
4. Install the unit through the opening in the front of the lid until the bezel
flange contacts the panel.
5. Slide the mounting plate over the rear of the unit until it is against the inside
front of the enclosure.
6. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the mounting clip is
against the inside of the enclosure. The mounting clip has latching features
which engage into mating features on the unit’s housing.
Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding
UNIT
the mounting clip into position.
GASKET
7. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket
pressure. Visually inspect the front panel gasket. The
gasket should be compressed to about 75 to 80% of its LATCHING
original thickness (Recommended torque is 28 to 36 FEATURE
in-oz.). If not, gradually turn mounting screws to
further compress the gasket.
8. If the gasket is not adequately compressed, and the
mounting screws can no longer be turned, loosen the
mounting screws and check that the mounting clip is
latched as close as possible to the inside of enclosure.
Repeat the procedure for tightening the screws.

DESCRIPTION
This enclosure is designed for use with the CUB4, CUB5, DT8 & DT9 units.
The enclosures are large enough to accommodate a Micro-line Power Supply
(MLPS1) attached to the unit. These rugged enclosures are fabricated of formed
steel with all seams welded to withstand NEMA 4/IP65 wash-down applications.
The kits are coated with a durable black polyurethane finish.
The holes for conduit fittings or other types of wiring connectors can be
drilled through the removable rear access panel, or through the enclosure itself.
The enclosures can be free standing or securely fastened to a mounting
surface with the brackets and hardware found in the mounting kit (provided
with the enclosure). The brackets also allow the enclosure to be raised and/or
tilted from the mounting surface in order to achieve the most favorable
operating position. Provided are four self-stick foot pads that can be applied to
the bottom of the enclosure to protect the mounting surface. The foot pads are
particularly useful for free standing installations.

ENC8 w/ MLPS1 Installation
Installing a unit with an MLPS1 attached requires some planning. It is
recommended that the unit with the MLPS1 attached be temporarily installed
in the enclosure to determine the best location for the conduit fitting to avoid
interference with the MLPS1.
1. Mark the location of the conduit fitting and drill the necessary hole.
2. Apply adhesive side of panel gasket to rear enclosure opening.
10. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure. Visually
inspect the front panel gasket. The gasket should be compressed to about 75
to 80% of its original thickness (Recommended torque is 28 to 36 in-oz.). If
not, gradually turn mounting screws to further compress the gasket.
11. If the gasket is not adequately compressed, and the mounting screws can
