  1. The ENC12/14 weighs 11.2 lb. Its internal dimensions are 12 x 14 x 5.5 in.
  2. Our fiberglass enclosures can withstand very cold locations, and their fiberglass/plastic construction is very resistant to corrosion.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Yes. Each enclosure Campbell Scientific sells has a powder-coated backplate with holes on 1 in. centers that match the mounting flanges on our equipment for easy mounting.
  6. The following information is applicable to many of Campbell Scientific’s standard enclosures and prewired enclosures.

    Note: The procedure below will not work for torn or damaged seals.

    To make a field repair to a loose gasket on an enclosure, first acquire an adhesive, such as standard Gorilla Glue, that is rated for use with polyurethane foam. The adhesive should be compatible with, and recommended for, use with polyurethane foam. Follow these steps:

    1. Pull the gasket away from the gasket channel, being careful not to tear the gasket. The gasket does not need to be removed completely. Rather, remove only those areas that have pulled loose on their own. To keep the gasket up out of the way, lay a small object (such as a toothpick, pen, or pencil) horizontally across the channel.
    2. Using an adhesive that is rated for use with polyurethane foam, apply a small bead of adhesive to the gasket channel. Because the adhesive’s only function is to keep the gasket in place, use it sparingly.
    3. Remove any objects that were holding the gasket out of the way.
    4. Carefully place the gasket in the gasket channel.
    5. Wait 1 to 3 hours for the adhesive to cure before closing the door.
  7. It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
  8. 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. Yes. On the Ordering tab of the enclosure page on our website, scroll down to the Replacement Parts section. The Universal Backplate for the enclosure is listed there.
