Technical Description

The ENC16/18's backplate is prepunched with half-inch-on-center holes suitable for attaching a data logger, power supply, and a communications or measurement and control peripheral.

This enclosure is shipped with the 7363 enclosure supply kit that consists of desiccant, a humidity indicator card, cable ties, wire tie tabs, putty, grommets, screws, and PVC coupling. Additionally, Campbell Scientific offers a CS210 Enclosure Humidity Sensor for monitoring relative humidity inside of the enclosure. (See Ordering Info on the web page.)

Expand AllCollapse All

  1. Can an ENC16/18 be used with an enclosure heater to increase the inside temperature and reduce the risk of condensation?
    Yes. However, we do not sell the heaters.
  2. Can 120 Vac be brought into the ENC16/18?
    Yes. Use a standard electrical box and outlet.
  3. Can converters to 18 Vac and 12 Vdc be located within an ENC16/18 without affecting the data logger or data?

    Most likely, yes. The data logger is protected against electrical noise, and 60 Hz filtering can be selected in many sensor measurements to filter out the effects of 60 Hz noise.

  4. What are the weight and internal dimensions of the ENC16/18?
    The ENC16/18 weighs 17 lb. Its internal dimensions are 16 x 18 x 9 in.
  5. Is a fiberglass enclosure suitable for an installation in a very cold location monitoring corrosion?
    Our fiberglass enclosures can withstand very cold locations, and their fiberglass/plastic construction is very resistant to corrosion.
  6. If the copper ground terminals attached to the bottom of an enclosure are oxidized and corroded, how can they be replaced?
    The terminals do not need to be replaced. Just sand or file the corrosion away, exposing clean copper, and the fittings will continue to be functional.
  7. If the PVC fittings at the bottom of the enclosure have too small an inner diameter to accommodate all the cables passing through, is there a way to remove the PVC fittings?
    Unscrew the PVC fittings to remove them.
  8. How many mounting accessories should be ordered for each major device inside an enclosure?
    It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
  9. Can a display be put on the outside of an enclosure?

    Yes. The CD100 mounts in an enclosure door and supports all of the CR1000KD capabilities. With the CD100, historic and real-time data can be read, and instructions can be entered without opening the enclosure door.

    Other available options that display real-time data only are the CD295 and CD294.

  10. Does the enclosure have a mounting bracket inside to mount the datalogger?
    Yes. Each enclosure Campbell Scientific sells has a powder-coated backplate with holes on 1 in. centers that match the mounting flanges on our equipment for easy mounting.
