Key specifications

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable flat surface using appropriate fasteners and observe local electrical codes for distance from heat sources and access clearances. Install DIN rails and mount modular devices according to their manufacturer instructions, ensuring proper alignment and secure fastening. Route incoming and outgoing cables through designated entry points, fitting appropriate glands or seals to maintain the IP65 rating. Complete internal wiring and protective device connections before restoring power and perform functional tests to verify circuits.

Recommendations

Use this IP65 enclosure where protection from dust and occasional water exposure is required; do not expose directly to heavy jets of water or immerse. Choose cable glands and seals rated for IP65 or higher, and maintain ventilation and temperature limits of installed components according to their specifications. Periodically check seals and fixings to preserve enclosure integrity.
