Note: There are four stopping plugs fitted to the enclosure for the
customer’s cable entry. An M20 stopping plug must be removed from
annotations 1-3 and 12 where a cable gland is to be placed. Where a
cable entry point is not being used, the M20 stopping plug must remain
in place in order to maintain the IP rating of the enclosure.
Warning The mains and output cables must enter the cabinet via
a cable gland (see
Cable Gland Selection and Cord
Anchorage ) and the mains supply should be isolated (see
Mains Wiring ).
4.3 Mounting the Enclosure
The system is contained in one enclosure that is weatherproof and has a rating
of IP65.
When considering the location of the equipment, the following must be
considered:

Although the enclosure is IP65, it must be protected from the worst of
the weather. For example, maintenance of the system will be made
easier and safer if it is not exposed to driving rain

Allow easy access for routine maintenance to be undertaken

Allow easy viewing of the display through the viewing window

Any future changes in the area, for example plantation growth causing
damage to pipework

Ensure there is no risk of damage from vehicles or animals in the area

Avoid positioning the enclosure in direct sunlight as this may increase
the internal temperature of the cabinet to outside of the operating
temperature range of the equipment.

Note: If it is difficult to position the BIOGAS 3000 system out of direct
sunlight, measures should be taken to protect the system, such as a
basic cover to provide shade.
The enclosure is to be mounted to a solid brick wall or framework (preferably
stainless steel) capable of holding the weight of the system. The weight of the
