FAQs
What does IP65 rating mean?
An IP65 rating means the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
What material is the enclosure made of?
The enclosure is constructed from durable Polycarbonate (PC) and plastic, offering good resistance to impacts and environmental factors.
Can I install custom-sized cable glands?
The enclosure is pre-designed for M20 and M25 cable glands. While knock-outs can be removed, custom sizes outside these standards might require modification and could compromise the IP rating.
What is the maximum temperature the enclosure can withstand?
The enclosure can operate in a temperature range from -25 °C to +70 °C.
Does the enclosure come with a mounting plate?
Yes, the Eaton CI-K3-160-M enclosure includes a mounting plate for the convenient installation of electrical components.
How much power can be dissipated by the enclosure?
The enclosure has a dissipative power loss rating of 25.5 W.
What colors are available for this enclosure?
This enclosure is typically available in factory colors: Grey-white (RAL 7035) and Black (RAL 9005).
Troubleshooting
Enclosure not sealing properly
Check the lid seal for debris or damage. Ensure all latches/screws are fully tightened. Replace the seal if it is worn or cracked.
Difficulty making cable entries
Use appropriate tools to cleanly remove the knock-out sections for M20/M25 cable glands. Ensure glands are compatible with the enclosure material.
Internal components overheating
Verify that the total power dissipation of internal components does not exceed 25.5 W. Consider ventilation or alternative cooling if necessary, though this enclosure is not designed for active ventilation.
Mounting plate alignment issues
Ensure components are correctly aligned and secured to the mounting plate before installing the plate into the enclosure. Check for any obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Component Mounting: Utilize the pre-installed mounting plate to secure internal components such as control relays, terminal blocks, or small power supplies using appropriate screws.
Cable Entry: For cable entry, remove the knock-out sections at the designated M20/M25 points on the top, bottom, or rear of the enclosure. Install suitable cable glands (not included) to maintain the IP65 rating.
Enclosure Sealing: Ensure the enclosure lid is securely fastened with its integrated latches or screws to maintain the IP65 rating.
Compatibility:
The enclosure is designed to be compatible with standard industrial electrical components, including emergency stop buttons and devices requiring a mounting plate.
It accommodates standard M20 and M25 cable glands.
Note the maximum operating temperature of +70 °C and minimum of -25 °C.
Care:
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the polycarbonate material.
Periodically inspect the enclosure seal and cable glands to ensure the IP65 rating is maintained. Replace any damaged seals or glands.
Ensure internal components do not exceed the 25.5 W power dissipation limit to prevent overheating.
