• Sleeve and Hardware: The sleeve and retaining chain are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel. The O-ring material is Neoprene.

• Protection Ratings: This housing boasts a Type 4X rating certified by CSA and an IP66 rating verified by SC115582-1 (e) 106. Additionally, it meets CENELEC standard EN50014 for electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas.

• Temperature Rating: The operating temperature range is -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F) .

• Weight: The assembly typically weighs 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) .

• Housing Strength: The housing can support a load of 912 N (205 lb) placed approximately 38 mm from the unsupported end. Furthermore, it is certified by BASEEFA to withstand two separate 4 Joule (3.0 ft·lb) impacts at -39°C and at 115°C. CSA also verified its ability to withstand a 7 Joule (5.2 ft·lb) impact at ambient temperature.

• Recommended Torque: The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb) .

Installation Guidance

Proper installation ensures the longevity and accuracy of the 31000-28-10-00-146-00-02.

• Mounting: Secure the housing to the machine using the 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat.

• Torque: Apply the recommended torque of 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb) to the retaining nut to ensure a proper seal and secure fit.

• Sealing Consideration: The plastic housing is certified to seal against hose-directed water according to NEMA 4X and IP66 standards. However, it is not designed to resist internal or external pressure. Probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment.

• Cable Management: Use appropriate fittings and seals to maintain the IP66 and Type 4X integrity of the housing.
