Campbell Scientific ENC8/10 Enclosure Specification

The Campbell Scientific ENC8/10 Enclosure is a robust and versatile protective housing designed to securely accommodate and safeguard essential instrumentation in a variety of environmental conditions. Constructed with durable UV-stabilized white fiberglass-reinforced polyester, this enclosure ensures long-lasting resilience against harsh weather, corrosion, and ultraviolet light exposure. It offers ample internal space with dimensions approximately 21.6 x 25.4 x 10.2 cm, allowing for the efficient organization and mounting of data loggers, power supplies, and other measurement devices. The ENC8/10 is designed with a NEMA 4X rating, which certifies its protection against dust, rain, sleet, and hose-directed water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

To facilitate secure installation, the enclosure is equipped with an external mounting bracket system that simplifies attachment to poles or flat surfaces. The lid is sealed with a durable gasket and features a stainless-steel piano hinge and two latches to ensure a watertight closure, protecting the internal components from environmental ingress. A key-lockable hasp is optionally available, providing additional security for sensitive equipment. Cable entry is managed through user-configurable openings, which can accommodate a variety of conduit fittings and cable glands, ensuring flexibility in the deployment of connected sensors and devices. The ENC8/10 is designed to maintain its integrity and performance across a wide temperature range, supporting its use in diverse climatic conditions. This enclosure represents an ideal solution for researchers and technicians seeking reliable protection for their field equipment, enabling consistent and accurate data collection in challenging environments.
