Overview

The ENC16/18UL is a weather-resistant enclosure that is 16 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It is UL508A listed, with a UL listed NEMA 4X rated enclosure and components. The ENC16/18UL can house a data logger, a power supply, and at least one peripheral. This enclosure is recommended for applications that need to have multiple communication or measurement and control peripherals housed in the same enclosure.

To maintain its NEMA 4X rating, the ENC16/18UL does not come with a standard Campbell Scientific ground lug. Users must bring a ground wire inside the enclosure through a conduit or cable entry seal and then ground it to a ground bar, DIN-rail mounting bracket, or something similar.

Expand AllCollapse All

  1. What sizes do backplates come in?

    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.

  2. How many mounting accessories should be ordered for each major device inside an enclosure?
    It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
  3. Does the enclosure have a mounting bracket inside to mount the datalogger?
    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.
  4. Is a fiberglass enclosure suitable for an installation in a very cold location monitoring corrosion?
    Our fiberglass enclosures can withstand very cold locations, and their fiberglass/plastic construction is very resistant to corrosion.
  5. If the PVC fittings at the bottom of the enclosure have too small an inner diameter to accommodate all the cables passing through, is there a way to remove the PVC fittings?
    Unscrew the PVC fittings to remove them.
  6. If the copper ground terminals attached to the bottom of an enclosure are oxidized and corroded, how can they be replaced?
    The terminals do not need to be replaced. Just sand or file the corrosion away, exposing clean copper, and the fittings will continue to be functional.
  7. What is the preferred method for punching a clean hole through the bottom of an enclosure?
    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.
  8. Can just the backplate of an enclosure be purchased?

    Yes. In the Ordering information area of the enclosure's web page, navigate to the Replacement Parts section. The Universal Backplate for the enclosure is listed there.

  9. Can a display be put on the outside of an enclosure?

    Yes. The CD100 mounts in an enclosure door and supports all of the CR1000KD capabilities. With the CD100, historic and real-time data can be read, and instructions can be entered without opening the enclosure door.

    Other available options that display real-time data only are the CD295 and CD294.

  10. How can more of the putty used to seal the cable-entry conduit of the enclosure be ordered?

    The putty is shipped as part of the 7363 Enclosure Supply Kit. To order an additional 4 ounce container of electrician’s putty, specify pn 6596.
