How to Install the PDS168 PROLINE® Enclosure

Installation guide for mounting the PDS168 PROLINE® enclosure.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Drill, Level, Measuring tape, Pencil, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (M6 x 12mm screws, M6 washers), Mounting brackets (if not included with enclosure)

  1. Determine enclosure location

    Select a suitable location for the enclosure, ensuring it is level and has adequate clearance for door opening and ventilation. Refer to the datasheet for specific clearance requirements.

  2. Mark mounting hole locations

    Hold the enclosure in the desired position against the mounting surface. Use a level to ensure it is plumb. Mark the center of the mounting holes on the wall or mounting surface using a pencil.

  3. Prepare mounting surface

    Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting to drywall, use appropriate anchors. If mounting to concrete, use suitable concrete anchors. Ensure the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of the enclosure and its contents.

  4. Mount the enclosure

    Position the enclosure over the prepared mounting holes. Insert the appropriate mounting hardware (e.g., M6 x 12mm screws with washers) through the enclosure's mounting holes and into the wall anchors or directly into the mounting surface. Tighten securely with a wrench, ensuring the enclosure is firmly attached and level.

  5. Verify stability

    Gently push and pull on the enclosure to ensure it is securely mounted and does not wobble. Check that the enclosure remains level after tightening all mounting hardware.
