Installation
Notes
1. The enclosure is made from polycarbonate which is a highly
durable material, and ideal for most environments. However, if
installing in areas where creosote, some chemicals, synthetic
oils and harsh cleaners are used, seek advice from MK
Technical Sales Service Department or refer to the table on
page 552.
2. The enclosure must be mounted on a flat, vertical surface that
is free from grease, dirt and loose material.
3. If the conduit cable entry is from the top or sides the lower
drain hole in the mounting box must be drilled out using a 5mm
diameter drill bit. This will allow any condensation formed in the
conduit system to drain out of the unit.
NOTE: opening the drain hole will reduce the IP rating; therefore ensure
that jetted water is not directed at the unit.
4. The drain hole should not be drilled out if the enclosure is to be
installed in an excessively dusty environment. If the drain hole
is not drilled out, only the bottom cable entry must be used.
5. If conduit is used for bottom cable entry, a 5 mm diameter drain
hole needs to be drilled in the lowest point of the conduit run.
6. If wiring directly to the enclosure without conduit and the
installation is outdoors, ensure that a cable specified for
outside use is used.
7. PVC Cable Entry (see Service Items) must only be used at the
bottom cable entry of the enclosure.
NOTE: If using box coupler 56464 to join boxes use a suitable sealant
to ensure full IP protection is maintained.
