Installation Considerations
Improper installation of the controller will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to
observe the following precautions when selecting a mounting location:
Warning: Failure to observe these precautions may damage the controller
and void the warranty!
• Do not mount the controller near heat-radiating elements or in direct
sunlight.
• Do not install the controller in a place subjected to high temperature, high
humidity, excessive vibration, corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or
metallic particles.
• Do not restrict the air flow to the vent opening on the controller housing
• This controller is an open-type unit and must be placed in an enclosure to
ensure proper operation and maintain the IP66 rating.
Mounting Instructions
SLB4848 Series
SOLO Basic temperature controllers should be mounted through a cutout in
an enclosure or panel by using the dimensions shown on page 2–4. The
directions for mounting the controller through a cutout are:
1. Insert the temperature controller through the panel cutout.
2. Slide the M3X0.5 nut into the opening in the top of the mounting bracket and
insert the M3X0.5 X 30mm mounting screw in the mounting bracket.
