The housing is designed for installation of series 600 signal 
conditioning instruments. It is suitable for three instruments with 36 mm 
width or one instrument with 72 mm width. It is used when the 
protection rating of the signal conditioning instruments is not sufficient, 
for example w hen used in the field or outdoors. When installed 
correctly, the protection rating is increased to IP 65.
The signal conditioning instruments are 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.
