FAQs
What is the IP40 rating?
The IP40 rating means the enclosure is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like thin wires) and offers no protection against water.
Can I mount more than 2 modules?
No, the CT2 is specifically designed to accommodate only 1 or 2 standard modules. Attempting to fit more may damage the enclosure or modules.
Is this enclosure waterproof?
No, the CT2 has an IP40 rating, which does not protect against water ingress. It is intended for dry, indoor environments only.
What size modules can fit?
It is designed for standard modular devices that are 35mm DIN rail mountable. The total width of 1 or 2 modules must fit within the enclosure's internal dimensions.
Does it come with a DIN rail?

What material is the enclosure made of?
The enclosure is made of insulated material, providing electrical protection.
Troubleshooting
Enclosure won't close properly
Check that modules are securely mounted and not obstructing the enclosure halves. Ensure no wires are trapped between the enclosure parts.
Modules do not fit on the DIN rail
Verify that the modules are standard 35mm DIN rail compatible. Ensure the DIN rail within the enclosure is not damaged or warped.
Dust ingress despite enclosure
Check that the enclosure is fully closed and latched. Inspect for any cracks or damage to the enclosure material that might compromise the IP40 rating.
