1. What can be done if an enclosure gasket becomes torn or damaged?

   If you purchased a Stahlin enclosure from Campbell Scientific and it has a failed gasket, we can help you. We will need you to provide an image of the failed gasket, verify the size of your enclosure, and provide your contact information. We can then arrange to have a replacement gasket sent to you from Stahlin. For assistance, contact Technical Support at 435.227.9100.

2. What are the weight and internal dimensions of the ENC12/14?

   The ENC12/14 weighs 11.2 lb. Its internal dimensions are 12 x 14 x 5.5 in.
3. 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.
4. If the copper ground terminals attached to the bottom of an enclosure are oxidized and corroded, how can they be replaced?

   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. How many mounting accessories should be ordered for each major device inside an enclosure?

   It depends on the device. Most devices have built-in mounting flanges, but some items require a separate mounting bracket.
6. If the PVC fittings at the bottom of the enclosure have too small an inner diameter to accommodate all the cables passing through, is there a way to remove the PVC fittings?

   Unscrew the PVC fittings to remove them.
7. How can a loose gasket on an enclosure be fixed?

   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.
8. Does the enclosure have a mounting bracket inside to mount the datalogger?

   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.
9. Can a display be put on the outside of an enclosure?

   Yes. The CD100 mounts in an enclosure door and supports all of the CR1000KD capabilities. With the CD100, historic and real-time data can be read, and instructions can be entered without opening the enclosure door.

   Other available options that display real-time data only are the CD295 and CD294.

10. What factors affect the amount of desiccant needed in an enclosure?

    There is not an easy way to calculate how much desiccant is needed in an enclosure or how quickly the desiccant will need to be replaced. The following conditions affect the replacement interval:

    • How much humidity the enclosure is exposed to
    • The size of the enclosure
    • How often the enclosure door is opened and how long the door remains open
    • How airtight the enclosure is

    It may be advantageous to use more than one desiccant packet at a time inside an enclosure. Campbell Scientific recommends keeping an extra supply of desiccant on hand for as-needed replacement in the enclosure.
