Overview

The ENC14/16 is a weather-resistant enclosure that is 14 in. wide and 16 in. tall. This medium-large enclosure can house a data logger, a power supply, and one or more peripheral—depending on the size of the peripherals. A common use for the ENC14/16 is to mount a larger enclosure to the leg base of a CM110, CM115, or CM120 tripod, because the larger ENC16/18 cannot be mounted to the leg base of these tripods.

Please note that a grounding wire is not included with the enclosure.

Detailed Description

The ENC14/16'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.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related to ENC14/16: 16

Expand AllCollapse All

  1. What are the weight and internal dimensions of the ENC14/16?
    The ENC14/16 weighs 13 lb. Its internal dimensions are 14 x 16 x 5.5 in.
  2. What are the distances, center-to-center, of the mounting holes in the back of the ENC14/16?
    12 inches.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. What factors affect the amount of desiccant needed in an enclosure?

    There is not an easy way to calculate how much desiccant is needed in an enclosure or how quickly the desiccant will need to be replaced. The following conditions affect the replacement interval:

    • How much humidity the enclosure is exposed to
    • The size of the enclosure
    • How often the enclosure door is opened and how long the door remains open
    • How airtight the enclosure is

    It may be advantageous to use more than one desiccant packet at a time inside an enclosure. Campbell Scientific recommends keeping an extra supply of desiccant on hand for as-needed replacement in the enclosure.

  8. What sizes do backplates come in?

    Backplates are available in sizes designed to fit in Campbell Scientific enclosures: 10 x 12 in., 12 x 14 in., 14 x 16 in., and 16 x 18 in.

  9. What is the preferred method for punching a clean hole through the bottom of an enclosure?
    Use a router with a fine-toothed bit. A hole saw will also work, but the edges will not be as clean as from using a router.
  10. Can just the backplate of an enclosure be purchased?

    Yes. In the Ordering information area of the enclosure's web page, navigate to the Replacement Parts section. The Universal Backplate for the enclosure is listed there.
