Station is not supplied

with conduit or cable openings.

The station can be supplied either with or without
a stainless steel gland plate, located on the bottom
of the rear enclosure.

If there is no gland plate on the enclosure, remove
the front panel and drill or punch entry openings in
the rear section of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2
for the suggested locations. There must be a
minimum of ½ inch (13 mm) of material between
entry holes.

If the station includes a gland plate, it can be
removed from the bottom of the rear enclosure for
ease of adding entry holes. Upon reinstalling the
gland plate, torque the #6-32 nuts to 10–12 in-lbs.
(1.13–1.36 n-m).

The recommended entry is via the enclosure
bottom to prevent moisture from dripping onto the
terminals. Top entry is not recommended.

For specific details including mounting hole
dimensions, refer to Figure 2. When mounting the
enclosure, use caution to avoid damaging the
internal components.

The suggested mounting height for all station
enclosures is 48 inches (1219 mm) to the center of
the bottom mounting holes of the enclosure.

Cable Entries

Ensure any unused openings are sealed with
proper fittings per local standards. All metric
cable entry devices and blanking elements shall be
certified for Zone 2/22 applications with an IP66
rating, suitable for conditions of use and correctly
installed. Use field wiring suitable for the ambient
temperature.
