Detailed 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.)

-
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.
-
The ENC16/18 weighs 17 lb. Its internal dimensions are 16 x 18 x 9 in.
-
Yes. Use a standard electrical box and outlet.
-
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.
-
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.
-
It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
