Carlon CS863 Installation Instructions And Accessory Applications

Mounting Feet:
This enclosure is shipped with its mounting brackets and
installation screws packaged inside. Bracket design permits this
enclosure mounted with major dimension vertical. The purchase
of mounting feet (Part No. CJB 159) permits this enclosure to
be mounted with the major dimension horizontal to the ground.
(Cut out style only.) Use flathead screw (1/4-20x1/2") to secure
brackets to enclosure. Securely tightening the mounting brackets
will insure positive positioning of the enclosure. Torque limits for
these flathead screws are 50 in-lbs (maximum).
Covers:
The fastenings for the cover are captive slotted stainless steel
filister head screws (10-32), which are factory installed. The
torqued down limits for these screws are 25 in-lbs (maximum).
Installation of Conduit:
1) CONDUIT HOLES:
Cut holes in enclosure (when required) at the desired location.
The use of a standard hole saw is the preferred method.
For proper location of hubs, prepare a paper template with
the recommended B x C (End Installation) or A x C (Side
Installation) dimensions. Reference the table below for the
specific enclosure size. Position a standard hole saw anywhere
within the rectangle and drill (care should be taken to prevent
damaging the bosses). The maximum hub and hole size varies
with the size of the enclosure.
Reference point F should always be centered midway
between the bosses.
For side installation on hinge models, hinge side, conduit holes
should be positioned a minimum of 1" from bottom of hinge
assembly. All other dimensions are the same as on hingeless
models.
C Series Enclosures do not have the same conduit placement
requirements. It is recommended that hole locations be
centered on the sides a minimum of 1-1/2" from the bottom
and 2-1/2" from the top.

wire lug over the connector locknut.
In accordance with the National Electrical Code, the
enclosure must be bonded between the grounding
