Figure 1-1. Control Unit Components and Dimensions
1-4.1 Enclosure with Door
The enclosure meets the requirements for NEMA Type 1 and is intended to be used indoors in
a relatively dust-free environment. The enclosure has a hinged door that swings open 180° for
accessibility. The enclosure can be surface or recessed mounted. A trim ring is available for
recessed mounting. The enclosure is constructed of 18 gauge sheet steel. A steel door is held
closed by a key lock. All operator interface switches and indicators are located behind the
locked cover. The enclosure is large enough to house two 12 Vdc, 12 AH batteries required for
standby operation.
1-4.1.1 ENCLOSURE DOOR OPTIONS
The standard enclosure door allows the operator to view the operator interface display
mounted on the PCB behind a plexiglass window. The AEGIS is also available with an alternate
door that allows an abort and manual release switch to be mounted. The manual release switch
incorporates a lift type guard and the abort switch incorporates a safety guard to prevent
inadvertent activation.
1-4.1.2 OPTIONAL DEAD-FRONT PANEL
The control unit is also suitable for mounting a dead-front panel (P/N 06-220175-001) that is
mandatory for use in Canada. The dead-front is intended to protect the user from inadvertent
access to any exposed potentially hazardous/high voltage components.
