Equipment can be installed both on a DIN-rail EN 60715 and on the bottom plates listed in Table 2 below. APX series distribution boxes guarantee resistance to the impacts that may occur in the presence of a low mechanical risk, as stated in the standards. The enclosure may only be installed if it is intact and free of damage. Accessories and additional non-sparking components, if present, must be fitted in the enclosure before its installation. Use only original accessories approved by ILME. Table 3 (on page 18) indicates the location of the drilling "windows" and the size of cable glands, and is intended to provide guidance on the choice of the most suitable cable entry devices. These devices must comply with the requirements of the ATEX directive, have a category of at least 3GD, an adequate Ex protection type, an IP protection degree that meets the minimum requirements of the application and a suitable operating temperature range. If the IP protection degree of the cable entry devices is lower than the one of the box, the protection degree of the whole enclosure is automatically downgraded to the protection value of the cable entry devices. Always verify that the selected cable glands are suitable for the cables to prevent them from coming loose and ensure that they permanently protect the box from the entrance of humidity and dirt. Verify the electric continuity between the metal cable glands and the enclosure. Close unused cable entries with suitable ATEX certified plugs. Mounting holes for cable entry devices must be located within the drillable area defined for each wall, must be drilled in accordance to best working practices and must be free from burrs.
