WP series - IP68 / IP67 NETWORK PLASTIC BOX

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines specifications and installation guidelines for the WP series high-performance plastic boxes, designed for outdoor use with excellent waterproof capabilities, suitable for communication devices and network equipment.
Specifications: WP series enclosures are made from UV-resistant ASA and flame-resistant ABS, available in white gray and charcoal gray. They offer IP68 protection for immersion up to 24 hours at 1 meter depth, with 24 sizes available, some offering IP67 protection.
Installation: Enclosures can be mounted on walls or poles using optional accessories. Blind lids conceal screws for a sleek look. Pole mounting uses WPMB brackets and PKB belts, preserving waterproof integrity without hole milling.
Components: Each enclosure includes a top cover, bottom base, blind lids, a silicone gasket, and stainless steel screws. The silicone gasket ensures airtight sealing, and insert nuts maintain waterproofing after repeated use.
Technical Data: Operating temperature ranges are ASA: -20°C to +60°C, ABS: -10°C to +50°C. A PMF series protective vent can extend these limits.
Applications: Recommended for outdoor applications like weather stations, remote monitoring devices, and network sensors for agriculture. Specific models suit wireless transmitters and data loggers.
Weatherability and Durability: Test data shows enclosures resist degradation over time, simulating outdoor conditions for long-term durability.
Accessories: Optional accessories include pole mount brackets, rubber feet, and TORX screws to enhance functionality and installation flexibility.
Weatherproof Test Report: A test on silicone sealing inserts from the RMW series compared them with NBR and EPDM materials. Silicone showed no visible changes after 2,000 hours of exposure, while NBR and EPDM showed degradation.
Cable Gland Specifications and Recommendations: Detailed specifications for cable glands (RMW, RM, RSP, AG, AGM series) include recommended torque values for installation to ensure waterproofing. The RMW series features silicone sealing inserts, while the RM series uses polyamide with NBR sealing.
Installation and Usage Guidelines: Emphasizes adhering to recommended torque values to avoid damage. Field testing is advised to ensure suitability under specific conditions, with proper tool use to prevent co-rotation during installation.
Technical Data and Material Composition: Describes material composition (polyamide, brass, TPE) and operating temperature ranges, including protection class ratings and compliance with standards like EN50262 Ver. A.
Product Range and Dimensions: Tables provide dimensions and specifications for each product number, including cable range, thread size, and mounting hole dimensions, with DXF/DWG/PDF drawings available for installation planning.
Specifications: Reference table for recommended tightening torque values for AGM series cable glands, including product numbers, cable range diameters, and torque values for cap and lock nut.
Procedures: Users should use the table as a guideline for tightening cable glands, performing field testing to ensure suitability. Connectors should be held with a tool to prevent co-rotation during tightening.
Precautions: Excessive tightening can damage cables or glands, affecting waterproofing. Factors like cable material, diameter tolerance, material hardness, environmental temperature, and tightening method can impact performance.
Recommendations: Torque values are for reference and may vary based on conditions. Users should adjust values accordingly and ensure proper testing.

Effect of PMF protective vent on WP series box WP series enclosure comes with a silicone gasket, which allows the enclosure to be airtight when assembled. When used in environments where there are large temperature fluctuations or differences, the internal and external pressure will become uneven. If this pressure within is unable to be properly vented, it may cause the enclosure to deform and warp. By installing the PMF series protective vent, it will assist in equalizing the air pressure, and prevent potential deformation. Test Conditions Device : Constant temperature/humidity test chamber...

Information on installation of cable glands ■ When affixing on cable glands to areas without sufficient space, the nut may not be able to be properly secured on. For such instances, a thread-hole should be made for the cable gland to be directly screwed into without utilizing the nut. ■ Thread-hole sizes from M6~M32, and PG7~PG21 are possible with our customization services ■ Please utilize a cable gland from our available range of cable gland accessories. Refer to page 181 ~ 193 for more information.
