The Hensel DK0200G offers a robust, IP66-rated enclosure for protecting electrical connections, with the key benefit of versatile cable entry through its integrated elastic membranes. A potential caveat is the fixed 40°C maximum working temperature, which may limit use in extremely hot environments.

FAQs

What is the degree of protection for the Hensel DK0200G?

The Hensel DK0200G has a degree of protection of IP66, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against strong jets of water.

Can I use any type of cable gland with this box?

This box is designed for cable glands with a sealing range of 6.0-15.0 mm for the integrated elastic membranes and 6.0-13.0 mm for the dedicated bottom entry. Using glands within these ranges will ensure optimal sealing.

How do I seal unused cable entry points?

Opened membranes must be sealed using grommets of type EDK to maintain the IP66 rating.

What are the dimensions of the DK0200G?

The dimensions are 93mm x 93mm with a depth of 62mm.

Is this junction box suitable for hazardous areas (Ex-zones)?

No, the Hensel DK0200G is not suitable for use in Ex-zones.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The working temperature range is -25°C to 40°C.

Does the box come with mounting hardware?

Yes, the box includes external brackets for wall fixing and a retaining strap.

Troubleshooting

Box does not seal properly after cable insertion

Ensure the correct size cable gland is used or that the membrane is fully seated around the cable. For unused openings, verify that an EDK grommet is installed.

Difficulty piercing or removing membranes

Use a sharp, appropriate tool. Be careful not to damage the surrounding box material. Small nicks are acceptable as the membrane itself seals.

Lid is difficult to close or seal

Check for any obstructions inside the box or on the sealing surface. Ensure the lid fasteners are correctly aligned and not cross-threaded.

Internal connections are exposed to moisture

Immediately disconnect power. Inspect the box for cracks or damage. Check all cable entries and lid seals. Dry the interior thoroughly before resealing and restoring power.

Pros and Cons

  • Robust IP66 rating ensures protection in demanding conditions.
  • Flexible cable entry options via removable elastic membranes.
  • Easy to seal lid fasteners reduce assembly complexity.
  • Includes mounting hardware for secure installation.
  • Halogen-free construction enhances safety.
  • Compact size suitable for various installation spaces.

Cons

  • Maximum working temperature is limited to 40°C.
  • Not suitable for use in Ex-zones.
  • Requires grommets (type EDK) to reseal opened membranes.
  • Only one dedicated bottom cable entry, other entries use membranes.
  • Untreated surface protection may require additional treatment in corrosive environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure the box to the desired wall or ceiling surface using the provided external brackets.
  2. Cable Entry: For each cable, select an integrated elastic membrane. Carefully pierce the membrane at the designated point with a sharp tool or knife, creating an opening just large enough for the cable.
  3. Insert Cable: Push the cable through the pierced membrane, ensuring a snug fit. The membrane will seal around the cable.
  4. Gland Use (Optional): For enhanced sealing, especially with larger cables or where frequent stress occurs, use a compatible cable gland (sealing range 6.0-15.0 mm for membranes, 6.0-13.0 mm for the bottom entry) inserted through the membrane opening.
  5. Close Opened Membranes: If a membrane is pierced but not used for a cable entry, it must be sealed using grommets of type EDK to maintain the IP66 rating.
  6. Wiring: Make internal electrical connections within the box.
  7. Secure Lid: Attach the lid and tighten the sealable lid fasteners.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for cable glands with sealing ranges of 6.0-15.0 mm (general membranes) and 6.0-13.0 mm (bottom entry).
  • Compatible with Hensel grommet type EDK for resealing unused membrane openings.
  • Designed for surface mounting on solid walls and ceilings.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
  • Periodically check cable entries and membrane seals for integrity, especially after significant temperature fluctuations or exposure to harsh conditions.
  • Ensure lid fasteners remain tight to maintain the IP66 seal.
