The External Nut on All electrical wire feed Glands must be tightened to create a weather tight seal prior to putting S-TYPE in
service. Failure to create this seal may result in water incursion into enclosure. This may lead to electrical shock, product failure and
damage to electrical systems installed within enclosure, including but not limited to damage to camera, heater and blower circuitry,
cooling circuitry and other systems installed in unit.
All screws on hinged lower must be tightened to create seal on enclosure. Failure to create this seal may result in water incursion into
enclosure. This may lead to electrical shock, failure and damage to electrical systems installed within enclosure, including but not limited
to damage to camera, heater and blower circuitry, cooling circuitry and other systems installed in unit.
Do not over tighten any Screws, Stand Offs, or other fasteners on this unit. Failure to heed this warning will cause damage or failure of
the S-TYPE enclosure.

Conduit Guidelines:
1) If wires, cabling, or conduit are coming at enclosure wire entry level, or above, always create a drip loop.
2) Please use only approved watertight electrical conduit and connectors, IP66 or better, with proper seals and fittings installed & fully seal.
3) Then, after all wire and cables are installed into enclosure, Seal wire entry ports inside of enclosure with any number of commercially
available sealing putty’s, Silicone Sealant, or similar products that are approved by applicable local and relevant electrical codes.
SHOCK HAZARD! Failure to fully seal enclosure wire and cabling entry ports may lead to shock hazard,
unsatisfactory product performance, a possibility of damage to electronics in the Dotworkz enclosure product,
including camera damage, and damage to integrated electronics due to air driven moisture traveling thru the
conduit, condensing and collecting in the enclosure creating a short circuit hazard.
Dotworkz does not endorse, nor has it evaluated any of these products. Test products first, and follow all manufacturers’ instructions.
Follow all applicable electrical and building codes and installation guidelines. End user assumes liability for applicability of these products and
their effectiveness and incurred liability in using these products.
Electrical Conduit Guidelines
For optimal performance, your Dotworkz Enclosure is designed to be Air & Water Tight to eliminate any
moisture, dust, and insect damage, safety, performance, reliability, and maintenance related issues.
Use of Electrical Conduit, without sealing the entry ports/ inside wire feeds within Camera Enclosure, will
subject the inside of your enclosure to possibility of condensation driven moisture, dust, and insect contamination
hazards.
Dotworkz has provided each enclosure with two Cable Gland Strain Relief seal ports that fully seal
enclosure to an IP68 rating, Waterproof and Airtight Seal. To properly seal, only one round cable is used in each
cable gland port. (Holes on enclosure are 7/8” diameter, ready for standard ½” I.D. NPT connector, or PG13 fittings.)
However, we realize our customers are retrofitting these connectors with electrical conduit fittings. We
acknowledge this industry customization and installation practice, and would like to guide customers to properly
install these products.

Dotworkz supplies two ½” diameter foam conduit plugs, that when installed, will assist in
sealing off airflow in conduit feed thru, at cable entry inside of enclosure. Putty or Sealant can be
used in conjunction with these plugs, to assure a full seal inside enclosure cable feed entry.

VENT STOPPER PLUGS for Conduit
QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
1) Pull wires to final installed length.
2) Open Vent Stop Plug and install over wire.
3) Pinch Plug to compress over wire, and
insert into conduit feed mouth.
4) Push plug into conduit mouth with finger
tips till it flush with outside of fitting.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 for any other conduit
feeds as needed.
6) To assure an airtight seal, caulk around
wires and cables, coating entire plug surface
with sealant.
Prevents Humid Air exchange from venting thru electrical conduit into Dotworkz sealed enclosure.
Thus eliminating condensation issues within Dotworkz sealed enclosures.
