FIGURE 6-1. Securing components to the enclosure backplate
4. Use the #6 screws and plastic grommets to mount additional peripherals to the enclosure
backplate (see
(p. 8)). Data loggers, power supplies, and most peripherals are
usually attached to the backplate prior to shipment from the factory or are supplied with
additional screws and grommets.
To insert the grommet, push the points of the flanges into the center of any square hole.
To remove a grommet without damage, remove the enclosure backplate and use pliers to
pinch the grommet flanges together.
NOTE:
Remember to allow space for cables and cable connectors.
5. If desired, use the PVC coupling included with the enclosure supply kit to reduce the 1.5-
inch conduit opening to 0.5 inches. Route the sensor cables through the enclosure conduit
to the data logger and peripheral terminal strips.
6. Connect sensors and peripherals to the data logger as described in the sensor and
peripheral manuals.
7. Strain relief the sensor wires to the data logger strain relief flanges with the 4-inch cable
ties.
8. Secure sensor and peripheral cables to the side of the enclosure using 8-inch cable ties and
cable tie tabs (see
(p. 9)).
