The Olan Distribution Box Enclosure (200x160x90mm) is designed for electrical professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring a robust, wall-mounted housing for modular electrical components. Its primary benefit is the high-grade IP65-rated protection, which shields sensitive circuitry from moisture, dust, and environmental wear. While it provides excellent durability and security, users should note that the 8-module capacity is fixed, requiring precise planning for component layout before installation.

IP65 means the enclosure is completely dust-tight and protected against water jets projected from a nozzle.
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use as it is UV-resistant and IP65-rated, though it should be shielded from direct, extreme weather if possible.
No, the unit is an empty enclosure and must be populated with your own DIN-compatible modules.
It is made of self-extinguishing thermoplastic that meets IEC 695-2-1 standards for safety.
The unit is designed to house 8 standard modular electrical components.
Check that internal wires are not protruding or pressing against the lid frame.
Ensure all cable entry points are sealed with appropriate IP-rated cable glands.
Ensure the modular components are clipped fully onto the rail and consider using end-stops to prevent lateral movement.
Installation should only be performed by a qualified individual familiar with local electrical codes. Begin by selecting a flat, vertical surface that is free from excessive vibration. Use the rear mounting points to secure the base to the wall, ensuring the unit is level. Route cables through appropriate cable glands (not included) to maintain the IP65 seal. When installing modules, ensure they are securely seated on the DIN rail. Care is simple: wipe the external surface with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the UV-resistant properties of the thermoplastic housing.
