About Enclosures

Enclosures are designed to protect a data acquisition system’s most sensitive components from elements such as dust, water, sunlight, or pollutants. Depending on the size of the enclosure and the size of the components, an environmental enclosure may house a datalogger, communication peripheral, power supply, and appropriate sensors.

Expand AllCollapse All

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.

Another available option that displays real-time data only is the CD295.
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.
What sizes do backplates come in?

Backplates are available in sizes designed to fit in Campbell Scientific enclosures: 10 x 12 in., 12 x 14 in., 14 x 16 in., and 16 x 18 in.
What is the preferred method for punching a clean hole through the bottom of an enclosure?

Use a router with a fine-toothed bit. A hole saw will also work, but the edges will not be as clean as from using a router.
Can just the backplate of an enclosure be purchased?

Yes. In the Ordering information area of the enclosure's web page, navigate to the Replacement Parts section. The Universal Backplate for the enclosure is listed there.
How can more of the putty used to seal the cable-entry conduit of the enclosure be ordered?

The putty is shipped as part of the 7363 Enclosure Supply Kit. To order an additional 4 ounce container of electrician’s putty, specify pn 6596.
