Installing an HydroMACE XCi device
The sensor and power cables can be routed either directly through the inside of the 2” mounting pole or
through electrical conduit. Installation directions for both are provided
NOTE: MACE recommends that the XCi device be mounted so that the LCD faces in
a direction away from direct sunlight.
Opening the XCi enclosure
Opening procedure
The XCi is housed in a rugged weather-resistant (IP66) enclosure. To ensure that the enclosure is weather-
tight, MACE uses a natural rubber seal and a solid latching system. Sometimes (particularly after little use),
the latch can be difficult to open. Opening the enclosure is simpler using the following procedure:
1. Ensure that the XCi is either mounted firmly on the pole/wall or is placed squarely on a benchtop.
2. It is best to use both hands to open. Position your hands so that one is above and one is below the
" padlock loop ".This avoids a slight twist if using only a single hand on one end. Grasp the latch and
firmly cock your wrists until the latch opens.
NOTE: The latching mechanism can be lubricated using a silicon based
aerosol spray such as - CRC® Silicone Lubricant.
