FAQs
WIUM2DW1 accommodates vertical mounting on two-gang enclosures and is designed for straightforward installation. It supports standard inserts and movable hinges in a 55:1 configuration, enabling flexible wiring layouts. For rapid retrofit, ensure enclosure opening matches the two-gang footprint and follow the included mounting hardware guidelines to minimize field adjustments.
Key dimensions are 6.1 inches in length, 3.5 inches in height, 5.63 inches in width, and 3.125 inches depth, with a weight of 0.85 pounds. It carries a NEMA 3R rating and NEC/CEC compliance, and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor non-hazardous panel applications.
WIUM2DW1 features a NEMA 3R rating, enabling weather resistance suitable for many outdoor applications in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. However, it is not designed for hazardous locations. For outdoor control panels in non-hazardous settings, it provides reliable protection, while installations in hazardous environments should use equipment rated for those conditions.
The cover complies with NEC/CEC electrical standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for weather resistance. It is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with typical industrial electrical code requirements and enabling safe, code-compliant installations in most non-hazardous facilities.
WIUM2DW1 reduces maintenance downtime by protecting wiring and connections from dust, moisture, and incidental contact during servicing. Its durable die-cast aluminum construction minimizes corrosion-related replacements, and its configurability (55:1) allows flexible wiring without swapping covers. The result is lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime for automation and electrical systems.
