Retrofitting the Outdoor Protective Enclosure

WCS3B-read heads using RS-485, SSI, and CANopen interfaces can be retrofitted with the
enclosure. Read heads with EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interfaces can only be used as pre-
assembled devices.
Note
When retrofitting your plant, make sure that you differentiate the mechanical outer dimensions
and the fixture for the outdoor protection enclosure from the standard read head.
