How to Install the IW4000 Infrared Window

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the IW4000 Infrared Window onto a flat surface of a type 4/12 enclosure, including drilling and mounting procedures. Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Hydraulic punch or hole saw (95 mm - 95.5 mm (3-3/4 in.)), Drill, Conedrill, Pozidrive screwdriver, Center punch, 6 mm (1/4 in.) drill bit, 3.6 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit

Supplies needed:

IW4000 unit, Fixing screws (4), Drilling template, Degreaser

  1. Unpack and Inspect Components

    Carefully unpack the IW4000 unit and verify all contents are present: one IW4000 unit, four fixing screws, and one drilling template.

  2. Prepare Mounting Surface

    Confirm the desired position for the IW4000 unit on a flat surface of a type 4/12 enclosure. Peel off the backing from the drilling template and firmly stick it to the panel, aligning with the template reference points.

  3. Mark and Drill Pilot Holes

    Using a center punch, mark the positions for the fixing holes and the center hole as indicated on the template. Then, use a 6 mm (1/4 in.) twist drill to drill out the center pilot hole.

  4. Drill Fixing Holes

    Using a 3.6 mm (9/64 in.) twist drill, carefully drill out the four fixing holes marked on the template.

  5. Enlarge Center Hole

    Enlarge the center hole to 95-95.5 mm (3-3/4 in.) using either a hole saw (guiding with the 6 mm pilot hole) or a hydraulic punch. If using a hydraulic punch, refer to its manual and follow all safety procedures.

  6. Clean and Prepare Panel

    De-burr all drilled holes, remove any metal shavings, and peel off the self-adhesive drilling template. Thoroughly degrease the front panel surface where the window will be mounted.

  7. Mount the Infrared Window

    Align the fixing holes on the IW4000 unit with the drilled holes on the panel and firmly press the Infrared Window into place.

  8. Secure the Window

    Using a Pozidrive screwdriver and three of the four supplied countersunk screws, gradually tighten each screw in an alternating pattern. Advance each fixing until a torque setting between 0.5 – 1 lbf.ft (0.68 – 1.36 N.m) is achieved, ensuring the unit is securely fastened. To maintain the enclosure type rating, ensure the viewport cover is secured in place.
