Description
The EHX*E Series of nonpressurized, explosionproof camera enclosures is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of explosionproof and
dust-ignitionproof electrical equipment for installation and use in hazardous locations.
The EHX*E Series is constructed of aluminum and available in 4-, 6-, and 8-inch diameters to accommodate most camera and lens combinations.
They come equipped with a unique camera mounting sled and track assembly that allows fast, easy positioning of the camera assembly and can
be securely locked in place.

A service kit is included in case you need these spare parts in the future. Save this kit.
NOTE: If installing a heater or blower, do it first. Refer to C1495M-B (accessories manual) for instructions on installing heaters and blowers.
1. Attach the cradle to a mount or pan and tilt unit. Follow the instructions supplied with the mount or pan and tilt unit.
2. Remove the enclosure’s rear plate with the supplied 5 mm Allen wrench.
3. Remove the camera sled from the rail in the body by removing the Allen screw in the end of the sled. Use the supplied 3/16-inch Allen
wrench.
4. If the camera lens is adjustable, extend the lens to its maximum length.
5. Position the camera over the appropriate mounting holes on the sled and fasten the camera to the sled with the two provided 1/4-20 x
1/2-inch screws. Make sure the lens does not extend beyond the front edge of the sled. This ensures the lens does not contact the
enclosure window after installation.
NOTE: You will need to use elevation blocks (EB1 or EB2) to properly elevate cameras with either a low optical center line or a
large-diameter lens.
6. Replace the camera sled in the enclosure, but do not reinstall the 1/4-20 Allen screw that holds the sled in place.
7. Install the sealing fittings on the rear of the enclosure. If you only need one fitting for wiring, install the supplied pipe plug in place of one
of the fittings.
8. Bring the wiring through the fitting(s) for camera video and power and, if applicable, power for the accessories (heater and/or blower).
Refer to Table A for 24 VAC applications only (accessories and camera).
9. Attach the video cable to the camera. Connect power to the camera and, if applicable, to the accessories.
10. Attach a ground wire to the 10-32 x 3/8-inch screw on the inside of the rear plate.
NOTE: The internal grounding terminal must be used for the equipment grounding
connection and the external terminal is for a supplementary bonding connection where local
codes or authorities permit or require such connection.

SCREW
Figure 1. Grounding Location
11. Push the camera sled all the way into the enclosure and fasten the sled with the 1/4-20 Allen screw.
12. Leave the desiccant bag inside the enclosure to absorb moisture. Replace the rear plate. Apply Loctite to the screws. Loctite 222 low-
strength thread locker prevents corrosion between the stainless steel screws and aluminum enclosure parts. Corrosion causes the parts to
seize, resulting in damage to them during disassembly.

13. If required, attach a ground wire to the terminal lug on the rear plate.
NOTE: The internal grounding terminal must be used for the equipment grounding connection and the external terminal is for a
supplementary bonding connection where local codes or authorities permit or require such connection.
14. Connect the video and power wiring from the sealing fittings to their sources through fittings and conduit suitable for hazardous locations.
15. For U.S. and Canada only: Seal the fittings as specified by the manufacturer’s installation instructions in manual C903M-C. Sealant is not
supplied or available from Pelco.

These are the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications and are calculated with a 10 percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is
generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)
EXAMPLE: An enclosure that requires 80 VA and is installed 35 feet (10 m) from the transformer would require a minimum wire gauge of
20 Awg.
NOTE: Distances are calculated in feet; values in parentheses are meters.

C417M-M (2/06)
Operation
If your enclosure has a heater, the heater turns on at 40°F (4°C) and turns off at 60°F (16°C).
If your enclosure has a blower, the fan operates continuously.
MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not remove the front cover. If you do, Pelco cannot be held responsible for the loss of explosionproof rating, UL listing, or
ability of enclosure to contain an explosion.
Regularly scheduled maintenance will help to prolong the operational life and appearance of the equipment.
1. Periodically look inside the window of the enclosure and check the humidity indicator on the roof. Lavender indicates normal at the desired
level of humidity. Pink indicates excessive dampness and blue indicates dryness. For example, if you want to maintain a humidity level of
20%, the 20% dot should be lavender.
2. Clean the window regularly with a mild nonabrasive detergent in water to help maintain picture clarity. For a heavily soiled window, use a
glass cleaner.
3. Inspect the sealing fittings frequently for the condition of the sealant.
A service kit containing a rear O-ring and four rear plate mounting screws is included with the enclosure. Use these spare parts if the original
parts are damaged or lost during maintenance or repair of the enclosure.
SERVICE MANUAL
If you need to service the enclosure, obtain a service manual in one of the following ways:
