Remote Control Enclosures
Hatco Remote Control Enclosures (RMBs) include
switches, wire leads, and/or indicator lights and are
ready for installation. Proper use of RMBs require
one RMB per strip heater.
To prevent premature failure of components due
to excessive heat, remote control enclosures
must be installed outside the strip heater heat
zone.
Control Switches
When two or more units are mounted where the
heat from one housing tends to raise the
temperature of another, the control switches should
be installed in a remote control enclosure. Units in a
multiple installation should use remote control
enclosures.
NOTE: Remote control enclosures are available in
several sizes. All models are built in
accordance with UL standards to
accommodate switches, indicator lights,
and wiring, ready for installation. See the
OPTIONS
section near the back of this
manual.
