FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this Eaton enclosure?
This Eaton CI-K insulated enclosure is designed to house and protect switchgear and electrical components, particularly in environments where dust and water protection are necessary.
What does the IP65 rating signify?
An IP65 rating means the enclosure is dust-tight (first digit '6') and protected against water jets from any direction (second digit '5').
Can I mount this enclosure outdoors?
Yes, the IP65 rating makes it suitable for outdoor use, providing protection against environmental factors. However, direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight may affect the plastic over time.
What are the dimensions of the enclosure and the included mounting rail?
The enclosure dimensions are 120x80x95mm. The included mounting rail has a height of 72mm and a mounting depth of 7.5mm.
What type of components can be installed inside?
The enclosure is designed for rail-mounted components such as relays, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and small PLCs. It also supports indicator lamps and emergency stop functions.
How do I make holes for cables?
The enclosure comes with pre-made M20/M25 holes that can be opened by removing knockout sections. It also features a cable through-hole membrane for smaller cables.
What is the operating temperature range?
The enclosure can operate reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C.
Troubleshooting
Enclosure lid does not seal properly.
Check for any debris on the sealing surfaces. Ensure the lid is correctly aligned and all latches or screws are fully secured.
Difficulty installing components on the mounting rail.
Ensure components are DIN-rail compatible. Slide components onto the rail from the top or bottom, following their specific mounting instructions.
Water ingress detected inside the enclosure.
Inspect all cable entry points and the main lid seal for damage or improper installation. Replace any damaged seals or glands. Ensure all knockout sections not in use are properly sealed.
Unable to pass cables through the designated entry.
Verify the correct M20 or M25 knockout has been removed. Use appropriate cable glands designed for the enclosure and cable diameter. If using the membrane, ensure the cable is pushed through firmly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High IP65 protection against environmental elements.
Durable and long-lasting plastic material.
Compact design suitable for space-constrained installations.
Includes a mounting rail for immediate component setup.
Versatile cable entry points.
Cons
Compact size may restrict the number or size of internal components.
Primarily designed for rail-mounted components; other mounting methods may require adaptation.
Plastic construction, while durable, might not be suitable for all extreme industrial impacts compared to metal enclosures.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the desired mounting location. Ensure the surface is clean and level.
Drill holes in the enclosure for wall mounting, aligning with the internal mounting points.
Mount the enclosure securely to the surface using appropriate screws.
Prepare cable entry points by removing knockout sections for M20/M25 glands or using the cable through-hole membrane.
Install internal components onto the provided mounting rail (CI-K1-95-TS).
Route cables through the entry points and secure them with glands.
Close and secure the enclosure lid.
Compatibility:
Compatible with DIN rail-mounted components.
Supports indicator lamps and emergency stop functions.
Accepts M20 and M25 cable glands.
Care:
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
Periodically check seals and cable glands for damage or wear to maintain IP65 integrity.
Ensure ventilation openings (if any, though this model is sealed) are kept clear of obstructions.
