The controller must be installed in a suitable industrial control panel or enclosure to provide impact
and environmental protection (pollution degree 2).
The protection rating is IP65, but note that this only applies to the front panel. The panel must have
a smooth surface to maintain this protection rating. Minimum pollution degree 2.
The back of the case is open and unprotected, so the degree of protection will depend on
the protection rating of the housing used. Additional sealing is also required between the LC2610
and the panel to maintain the IP65 rating. LC2610 terminals must be enclosed within the panel.
For the UL version, this must be a 'Type 1' enclosure.
The LC2610 fits into a 137 x 67 mm panel cut-out, and is retained by the two clips and screws
supplied:
-
Ensure that the panel has sufficient depth to install the LC2610 and its wiring, including the
space required to withdraw the wiring connectors.
-
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance at each side of the case to fit the retaining clips
and screws.
-
Make a cut-out in the panel (final size to be 137 x 67), and remove any burrs on the cut edges
to allow the unit to seat properly. We recommend that the cut-out is made slightly undersize at
first, and filed to fit, as there is only a small lip on the LC2610 case.
-
Fit the LC2610 into the panel, and slot the side clips into place on the sides of the case.
-
Tighten the retaining screws against the back of the panel, but do not over-tighten.
