Description:
The IPC Splashproof Cover is a rugged, impact resistant, clear lens that fits over a 1/8 DIN instrument to make it dust and water proof from the front of the panel. It utilizes the existing 1/8 DIN panel cutout (45 x 92 mm). No new panel holes are required. Sealing meets NEMA-12 (IP52) standards for water splash and dust protection when the hinged door is simply snapped in place. Sealing meets NEMA 4 (IP67) standards for hose-directed water when the hinged door is further clamped down with a provided plastic locking key. Model IPC fits all Laurel 1/8 DIN instruments as well as 1/8 DIN instruments by other manufacturers, provided that instrument dimensions in front of the panel do not exceed 48 x 96 x 15 mm (1.89 x 3.78 x 0.59 inch). It can be purchased as an add-on option for new instruments, or be fitted to existing installations. The IPC assembly utilizes a clear base and clear door with a cam hinge. The hinge is captive when the base and meter are installed, and allows the door to be opened for easy access to the meter for programming or setpoint adjustment. The base can be sealed against the instrument panel by an O-ring or by a self-adhesive neoprene gasket, both provided. The door is latched against the base by a locking tab when the door is snapped shut. Positive clamping of the door and protection against opening of the locking tab by hose-directed water are provided by a locking key, which remains in place to provide a much higher clamping force than the tab alone. Meets NEMA 12 (IP52) when hinged door is snapped in place. Meets NEMA 4X (IP67) when door is clamped by a locking key. Fits all 1/8 DIN Laureates and most other 1/8 DIN instruments. Utilizes existing 1/8 DIN cutout -- no extra panel holes required. Made of high-impact polycarbonate -- no metal parts to corrode. Hinged door for easy access to instrument. Low cost.
