3 Enclosure Sizes
ExDirect instrument enclosures are available in three sizes.
Glass or Solid Front
They feature a screw down cover with either a window optimized for wide viewing angle or a solid front.
Stainless Steel & Plastic
Enclosures are available in type 316 stainless steel. Hawk is also available in polycarbonate plastic with UV stabilizer.
Dual-Compartment Hawk
A dual-compartment Hawk enclosure is available in aluminum and features a separate compartment for making field wiring connections.
PCB Mounting
Four drilled and tapped internal mounting holes and four cast-in rails are available inside the enclosure for easy mounting of a PCB or other components.
Tamper Seal
Tamper-proofing is achieved by inserting a wire through the cast-in loop on the base of the enclosure and a hole in the lid of the enclosure and securing this wire with a lead seal.
Simplified Engineering
ExDirect PCB/Display Housings simplify, accelerate, and reduce the cost of engineering efforts — an advantage other suppliers lack.
Cast-in Loop
Attach a stainless steel tag to the enclosure through the cast-in loop located on the base of the enclosure.
