The ENC16/18 weighs 17 lb. Its internal dimensions are 16 x 18 x 9 in.

Yes. However, we do not sell the heaters.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Most likely, yes. The datalogger 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 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.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove any objects that were holding the gasket out of the way.
- Carefully place the gasket in the gasket channel.
- Wait 1 to 3 hours for the adhesive to cure before closing the door.
-
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.
-
It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
