3.2 Installation of the 14 x 12 x 8 Metal Protection Box
3.2.1 Preliminary considerations
The standard protection box is a watertight, dust-tight and corrosion-resistant metal enclosure that protects
the electronic components of the acquisition units. Outer dimensions are 356 x 305 x 203mm (14 x 12 x 8 in.).
•
To prevent damage to the electronic components, always
remove the mounting panel before working on a protection
box.
Note: Except for the ground wire, 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 protection box must be installed within the appropriate distance
according to the specifications of the components mounted inside;
•
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;
•
Sufficient clearance is necessary to open the door for easy access
of components.
