How to Install the VM733 VM Series Non-Metallic Enclosure

Installation guide for mounting the VM733 VM Series Non-Metallic Enclosure.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Drill, Level, Screwdriver, Measuring tape

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (screws, anchors), Gasket (if applicable), Sealing compound (for cable entries)

  1. Select Mounting Location

    Choose a suitable location for the enclosure. Ensure the mounting surface is flat, stable, and can support the weight of the enclosure and its contents. Consider environmental factors and accessibility for maintenance. Refer to the datasheet for specific environmental ratings and limitations.

  2. Prepare Mounting Surface

    Using a measuring tape and level, mark the desired mounting points on the surface. Drill pilot holes if necessary, and install appropriate anchors if mounting to a hollow surface. Ensure the mounting holes are aligned with the enclosure's mounting flanges or brackets.

  3. Mount the Enclosure

    Position the VM733 enclosure against the prepared mounting surface, aligning the mounting holes. Secure the enclosure using appropriate mounting hardware (screws, bolts). Ensure the enclosure is level and firmly attached. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this may damage the enclosure.

  4. Install Gasket and Seal Cable Entries

    If the enclosure comes with a gasket, ensure it is properly seated in the groove to maintain the IP66 rating. For any cable entries, use appropriate sealing methods (e.g., sealing compound, cable glands) to maintain the enclosure's integrity and prevent ingress of dust or water. Refer to the product's specific instructions for cable entry methods.

  5. Verify Installation

    Visually inspect the mounted enclosure to ensure it is secure and properly sealed. Check that all fasteners are tightened appropriately and that the enclosure door can be opened and closed smoothly. Confirm that the enclosure meets the required ingress protection rating (IP66).
