INSTALLATION OF THE LIN-300 PROTECTION BOXES
LIN-300 modules may be protected by an ABS enclosure (single module) or a larger steel enclosure with a
mounting plate for two modules and, if desired, a rail-mounted power supply and terminal blocks. The
following details the installation procedure for both types of protection boxes.
3.1 Installation of the 10X6X3 ABS Protection Box
3.1.1 Preliminary considerations
The ABS protection box is a plastic enclosure which can house a single LIN-300 Series conditioner. Outer
dimensions are 254 x 152 x 76 mm (10 x 6 x 3 in.).
All connected cables must be protected by flexible
protective conduits and attached with liquidtight
connectors. Prepare the openings on the protection
box and set the liquidtight connectors in place before
fastening the protection box.
To determine the best location for the protection box,
survey all potential locations with respect to the
following limitations:
•
the optimal location at which the protection box can
be installed depends on the length of the triaxial
cables used;
•
all cables should be placed inside 19mm (3/4”)
flexible protective conduits or equivalent when
possible;
•
sufficient space must be allowed around the
protection box for the installation of the protective
conduits.

When routing cables into the protection box for
connection to the conditioner, the excess length of
cable can be coiled as shown inside the protection
box.
Note: Be carefull when handling the cable. Do not kink
the cable and avoid forming sharp bends.
