CoreTekTM Controllers Accessories Shock Cover Kit CoreTekTM control units are designed to endure harsh environmental conditions. However, when the control unit is mounted in a place where it might receive impact from falling items, someone stepping on it, or where it is exposed to possible water spray, a special shock cover can be used to protect connectors and wire attachment points. While the cover does not increase control unit’s IP classication, it will prevent any direct hits to the connectors. The shock cover is mounted on the control unit by using two special M6 bolts (included) that are...
