  1. The ENC16/18 weighs 17 lb. Its internal dimensions are 16 x 18 x 9 in.
  2. Yes. Use a standard electrical box and outlet.
  3. Backplates are available in sizes designed to fit in Campbell Scientific enclosures: 10 x 12 in., 12 x 14 in., 14 x 16 in., and 16 x 18 in.

  4. Most likely, yes. The data logger is protected against electrical noise, and 60 Hz filtering can be selected in many sensor measurements to filter out the effects of 60 Hz noise.

  5. It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
  6. Yes. Each enclosure Campbell Scientific sells has a powder-coated backplate with holes on 1 in. centers that match the mounting flanges on our equipment for easy mounting.
  7. Our fiberglass enclosures can withstand very cold locations, and their fiberglass/plastic construction is very resistant to corrosion.
  8. Use a router with a fine-toothed bit. A hole saw will also work, but the edges will not be as clean as from using a router.
