ENC5B AND ENC5C INSTALLATION
It is recommended to wire the unit before mounting it in the enclosure to ensure good electrical connections.
The following steps outline the most common sequence for installing a unit.
1. Determine the location of the conduit fitting and drill the necessary hole. Install the fitting and bring the wiring into the enclosure.
2. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel .
3. Install the unit through the opening in the front of the lid until the bezel flange contacts the panel.
4. Slide the mounting plate over the rear of the unit until it is against the inside front of the enclosure.
5. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the mounting clip is against the inside of the mounting plate. The mounting clip has latching features which engage into mating features on the unit’s housing.
Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding the mounting clip into position.
6. While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the
UNIT
GASKET slots on the case. The panel latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the unit is snug in the panel (Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79 N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
7. If the gasket is not adequately compressed, and the mounting screws can no longer be turned, loosen the mounting screws and check that the mounting clip is latched as close as possible to the inside of enclosure. Repeat the procedure for tightening the screws.
8. Connect the necessary wires to the unit for the application desired.
9. Assemble the enclosure with the screws provided. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure.

DESCRIPTION
The ENC5A enclosure is fabricated of formed steel with all seams welded to withstand NEMA 4/IP65 wash-down applications. The kit is coated with a durable flat black polyurethane finish.
Electrical connections to the enclosed instrument are easily made through a removable access panel at the rear of the enclosure. The panel must be drilled to accept conduit fittings or other types of wiring connectors.
The enclosure can be used free-standing or securely fastened to a mounting surface with brackets which are provided with each enclosure.
The brackets also allow the enclosure to be raised and/or tilted from the mounting surface in order to achieve the most favorable operating position. Self-stick rubber pads are provided which can be applied to the bottom of the enclosure. These rubber pads will protect the mounting surface and are particularly useful for free-standing installations.
