Anchoring and Mounting the
Enclosure Before final anchoring of the enclosure, make sure the equipment is level
and fully supported at all anchor points. Use steel shims as necessary. If it
is not level and supported, the enclosure or controls can be distorted, causing
wiring stresses, broken components, or improper environmental sealing.
Refer to your Dimension Sheet to determine mounting requirements and
mounting hole locations.
Joining Control
Enclosure Sections For multi-enclosure control lineups, you might need to join enclosure
sections in the field. Holes are provided in the end panels for this purpose.
To join the enclosure sections, install M6

thread-forming
screws in at least ten holes as equally spaced around the perimeter of the
end panel as is practical. Note which holes are clearance holes and which
holes are thread-forming holes to determine which way to insert the screws.
See Figure 2.4 for preferred joining configuration.
If you are joining Type 12 enclosures, apply a bead of general purpose
rubber sealant around the perimeter of the cutouts between the enclosures
before installing the fasteners. Install fasteners around the cutouts, using
all available hole locations.
