DCM2 Controller Enclosure Mounting 

 

Locate an area on a vertical wall where the controller can me mounted at approximately eye level and 
have enough clearance to allow the DGMa modular sensor housing to be installed near and below the 
controller.  Avoid outdoor installations, especially in direct sunlight.  The location of the DGMa sensor 
housing must have about 18” of clearance above it to allow removal of the sensors, and about 12 
inches below to access water sample petcock and a sample cup.

 

 
NOTE: a common mistake made at installation, is not allowing enough space above the sensor housing 
to accommodate routine sensor maintenance. 

 

 

  Individual DCM2 controllers 

are shipped with mounting 
bracket (4) and mounting 
screws (1) to assist with wall 
mount installation.   

  Disconnect the bracket from 

the back of the enclosure by 
pressing the black plastic 
release clip (4) at the 
bottom, and slide the 
enclosure down towards the 
clip, then tip the bracket off 
the back of the enclosure.  
The wall mounting bracket 
can then be used as a 
drilling template as shown. 

  Mount the bracket on a 

vertical wall at approximately 
eye level, within 30 in. of the 
nearest 120VAC power 
outlet. Alternatively, mount 
near a power disconnect, 
and wire the power directly 
to the controller through 
electrical conduit.  Conduit 
adaptor fittings are available 
from ProMinent. Refer to local and national electrical codes for wet locations. 

  Fasten enclosure securely to the bracket as shown, by hanging enclosure on the bracket, pushing 

the enclosure against wall and lifting until the enclosure snaps securely to the bracket.  

  After controller is mounted, time is best used mounting the DGMa modular sensor housing to 

allow sensors to equilibrate while the remainder of the installation, wiring and configuration is 
performed.
