How to use

Mount the xCR-SD G2 weather hood over the external device or its housing following the manufacturer’s alignment points and mounting holes. Ensure cables are routed through designated access points and sealed as required to maintain IP65 integrity. Confirm that the hood does not obstruct required sensor fields of view or ventilation openings. After installation, inspect seals and fasteners to verify a secure fit and periodically check for debris buildup that could compromise drainage or performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the weather hood in accordance with relevant mounting guidelines and local environmental conditions. Regular visual inspections are recommended, especially after severe weather events, to ensure seals remain intact and drainage paths are clear. Use compatible mounting hardware and sealing materials to preserve the IP65 protection level.
