Enclosure Design
Some solution designs may include an enclosure for security, protection from environmental factors, or
even to add trade dress. This section supports those solutions by providing important enclosure design
considerations.
The solution enclosure must include a cutout sized to expose the device’s main body. Reference
dimensions for the enclosure cutout, including the location of either screw holes or threaded studs, are
shown in
. The cutout dimensions should account for thermal expansion and contraction of the
enclosure, deformation due to mechanical stresses on the enclosure, and so on. Poorly toleranced cutouts
may result in being unable to install the device in the enclosure or uninstall the device from the enclosure
for maintenance or replacement, or may leave too much gap between the enclosure and the device.
Section
provides detailed dimensions of the device’s installation face.

If the solution will be exposed to the elements, the enclosure must protect the device. The device includes
a removable gasket which can be used on its installation face to create a seal with the enclosure. The
device is designed for ingress protection from the gasket forward, but the rear of the device behind the
gasket must be protected. In solutions that require a seal, the enclosure cutout must fully engage the
gasket, which generally means the areas where the gasket contacts the enclosure must be flat and rigid,
and the mounting hardware and torque specifications must be selected carefully to create a solid seal (see
