Wall mounting points are integral to the enclosure and there is an optional pole mounting kit available. The ECS also has printed circuit board (PCB) retention safety clips to prevent the PCB from falling out when the faceplate is disconnected from the enclosure, which is particularly beneficial when the unit is mounted to a pole for example.
The range has been expanded in 2019 with the addition of a smaller more compact version, indicator accessories for

the front plate and two colour choices of black and grey.
“Phoenix Contact’s product is hardy. The environmental case system (ECS) is the ideal solution for indoor and outdoor applications as it offers high degrees of protection of IP69K in accordance with ISO 20653. It’s rated to -40 to +100 degrees centigrade, has optional ventilation using an integral pressure mounted membrane and is UV resistant. The ECS also has printed circuit board (PCB) retention safety clips to prevent the PCB from falling out when the faceplate is disconnected from the enclosure, which is particularly beneficial when the unit is mounted. This is a tough product that faced tough competition. I’m delighted that it has come out on top.” –
