Product Information

The Fortress Circuit Protection Metal Enclosure, Part NO.: CFENIL/C, is designed to provide a safe and secure enclosure unitfor electrical components. The product is compliant with BS EN  62208, BS EN 61439-3, BS 7671 and Part P document standards. The enclosure is supplied with a busbar and neutral cable and is suitable for fitting different devices to DIN rail. The product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the current IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and BuildingRegulations.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Disconnect the electrical supply before installation.
  2. Remove the front cover by opening the visor and undoing the retaining screws.
  3. Provide cable access via either 20mm or 32mm knockouts on the top and bottom faces, 32mm knockouts on the side faces or a large knockout in the base. Ensure IP rating is maintained e.g, use of glands.
  4. Secure the enclosure to the wall using one keyhole slot to hang it in position, ensure it is fitted level, and use other fixing holes to firmly secure it.
  5. Fit different devices to DIN rail if required, ensure cables are connected to the devices and the neutral and earth terminal bars. Ensure all connections are secure and terminal screws fullytightened. Recommended max torque for  terminal screws, MCBs and RCBOs is 2Nm, Switch is 3.5Nm, RCD is 2.5Nm.
  6. Test in accordance with the current IET wiring regulations.
  7. Add cover mounted blanks supplied if required.
  8. Refit cover and secure using screws.
  9. Apply RCD test label and circuit identification labels to the front cover above devices.
