Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material of this hood?

It is made from a durable, die-cast aluminum alloy.

What is the ingress protection rating?

The product is rated IP65, providing protection against dust and low-pressure water jets.

Can this hood be used in freezing environments?

Yes, it is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -40°C.

What size cable gland does this hood support?

This model is designed for use with M20 cable glands.

Does this hood include a mounting base?

No, this product is the hood component only; the base/panel mount is sold separately.

What color is the finish?

The housing is finished in RAL 7037, which is a standard industrial dust grey.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty engaging the locking lever

Ensure the mating connector is fully seated and aligned squarely with the hood interior.

Moisture found inside the housing

Check the condition of the internal seal and ensure the M20 cable gland is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Cable gland loose after installation

Verify the cable diameter matches the specification of your M20 gland; a cable that is too thin will prevent the gland from forming a proper seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact low-profile design fits tight installation spaces
  • Rugged aluminum die-cast material offers high impact resistance
  • High temperature tolerance suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments
  • Reliable IP65 protection against contaminants and moisture

Cons

  • Requires specific M20 cable glands for proper seal
  • Limited to side-entry configurations only
  • Single lever mechanism requires precise alignment for optimal seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, follow these installation guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and the mating connector is properly seated.
  2. Cable Entry: Utilize an M20-sized cable gland to ensure the side port is sealed tightly. Over-tightening may damage the threads, while under-tightening will compromise the IP65 rating.
  3. Locking: Engage the single lever fully until it clicks into the locking position to verify the gasket is compressed.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the powder-coated surface for deep scratches or corrosion. If the housing becomes dirty, clean it with a non-abrasive, neutral detergent and wipe dry to prevent moisture buildup near the seals.
