The housing is designed for installation of a VEGAMET 381 signal
conditioning instrument . It is used when the protection rating of the
signal conditioning instrument is not sufficient, for example when used
in the field or outdoors. When installed correctly, the protection rating
is increased to IP 65.
The signal conditioning instrument is simply snapped onto the
integrated carrier rail in the housing. The display of the signal
conditioning instrument is always visible due to the transparent cover.
The housing has three cable feedthroughs (PG 13.5) for electrical
connection on its underside. On the opposite side there are another
three holes (PG 13.5) that are provided with blind plugs.
