Overview

The PWENC16/18 is a prewired, weather-resistant enclosure that is 16 in. wide and 18 in. tall. It starts with the same enclosure used for our ENC16/18, but then is factory configured with up to 19 connectors that are attached to the data logger or peripherals within the enclosure. Sensors with the appropriate connector are simply attached to connectors on the outside of the enclosure. The PWENC16/18 includes a basic measurement program (created in ShortCut) for the -PW products sold as part of this system. If a more advanced custom data logger program is required for additional sensors, communications, control, or other needs, an extra fee will be incurred. 

Key Advantages

Saves Work, Prevents Errors
Factory-installed and tested wiring by experienced technicians

Technical Description

The PWENC16/18 can house one data logger, power supply, and one or more peripheral (depending on the peripheral’s footprint). You order the sensors, data logger, power supply, and communication peripherals separately. Compatible sensors, peripheral cables, and solar panels have a –PW extension. 

The PWENC16/18 is shipped with the 7363 enclosure supply kit that consists of desiccant, a humidity indicator card, cable ties, wire tie tabs, putty, grommets, screws, and PVC coupling. Connectors, communication ports, and the enclosure mounting bracket are chosen as options. (See Ordering Info on the web page.)

The PWENC16/18 can be mounted to any of our tripods or towers, or to a user-supplied pipe.

Note: Refer to the Ordering Info on the web page for standard configurations. Nonstandard configurations must be special ordered. It is considered a nonstandard configuration when using a different type, size, or location for any connector, communication port, conduit, cable entry seal, or antenna bulkhead (contact Campbell Scientific for more information).

Benefits

  • Weather resistant to protect instruments
  • Backplate designed so that Campbell Scientific components mount easily and securely
  • Combines flexibility with ease of use
  • Eliminates the task of wiring sensor leads into the data logger’s terminal strips
  • Reduces wiring errors by inexperienced field technicians who are unfamiliar with the equipment
  • Shortens deployment time
  • Allows each enclosure in a large network to be similar to the other enclosures
  • Customized options may be purchased
  • White, UV-stabilized enclosure reflects solar radiation—reducing temperature gradients inside the enclosure without requiring a separate radiation shield

Compatibility

Peripherals

Our prewired enclosures can house any peripheral that our standard enclosures can house. Equipment that can be attached to the outside of the prewired enclosure include:

  • Sensors—models with an -PW extension are compatible; a -PW version is available for most Campbell Scientific sensors.
  • Digital camera—the cable used to connect a CC5MPX or CC5MPXWD high-resolution digital camera has a -PW cable termination option.
  • AC wall charger—the 22110 Wall Charger (accepts 110  to 240 Vac) has the appropriate connector.
  • Solar panels—Campbell Scientific offers -PW versions of our 10 W, 20 W, 50 W, and 90 W solar panels.
  • Keyboard display—the CR1000KD can be connected via an optional CS I/O port.
  • Laptop—an RS-232 or CS I/O port can be added to the outside of the enclosure allowing laptop connection.
  • Ethernet cable—an optional Ethernet port is offered that supports communications over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection.
  • Antennas—the outside of the enclosure can include connectors for attaching antenna cables.
  • Measurement and control peripherals—cables used to connect our SDMs and multiplexers come in -PW versions.
