Remote Keypad Mounting
The keypad / operator interface unit can be remotely mounted up to 10ft
(3 meters) away from the starter, i.e. on the enclosure door. A remote
mounting kit is necessary, which consists of an adaptor plate, a
doorframe for NEMA 1 or NEMA 12 enclosures and a pre-assembled
ribbon cable available in 1-meter length increments. Detailed assembly
instructions and an enclosure cutout template are included with the kit.
See Product Selection Guide for part numbers of the available kits.
