Appendix – C 

Fitting the board to an enclosure 

 

As previously stated this PCB is meant for development purposes only, however, it’s understood that in 
certain circumstances there may be a requirement to turn this stand-alone PCB into a complete unit to 
be part of an initial system test. 
 

Enclosure 
 

The PCB has been designed such that it can be accommodated into a standard extruded aluminium case 
(

Hammond manufacturing 1455L1602

).  This is not supplied as part of the kit, but may be purchased 

from most electronic component suppliers.   
 
There is a little spare room in this enclosure to accommodate further circuitry, however, if a much larger 
volume is required the 

Hammond Manufacturing 

1457N1601

 may be used.  This gives about double the 

height which should be more than adequate for a second PCB to be fitted. 
 
The following pages provide some basic machining information to enable the ends of the case to be 
machined in order to accommodate the PCB.

You will note that indicators such as ‘Overload and Power ON’ have 
been omitted as the position of these may depend upon any other 
circuitry that the user may wish to add.
