STI EF121006-O Concise Descriptor
Overview
The STI EF121006-O EnviroArmour opaque credential is a critical component for installations requiring conduit and grounding within non-metallic enclosures. This hardware module ensures proper electrical bonding and grounding, a requirement for safety and compliance, particularly when integrating communication devices like IP cameras or access control readers into plastic housings. Its robust construction is designed to withstand typical installation stresses and environmental factors, making it suitable for commercial and industrial deployments where reliable grounding is paramount. The EF121006-O is specified for use with communication protocols like TCP/IP, ensuring compatibility with modern networked security devices.
Compatibility
This credential is designed for use with STI EnviroArmour enclosures and related mounting hardware. It is intended for installations involving conduit hubs of various sizes (½” to 2” DIA.) and corresponding enclosure hole sizes (7/8” to 2 3/8” DIA.). The system is designed to facilitate the secure grounding of equipment installed within these non-metallic enclosures, supporting communication via TCP/IP. Specific compatibility extends to enclosures requiring grounding bushings for metallic conduit connections.
Installation Notes
Installation requires cutting specific diameter holes in the enclosure walls for conduit hubs, with recommended sizes ranging from 7/8” for ½” conduit to 2 3/8” for 2” conduit. For metallic conduit, a conduit connector (hub) must be secured to the conduit and then to the enclosure using a locknut, with a grounding lug attached to the locknut for bonding. For non-metallic conduit, the conduit is secured to the connector (hub) before or after the connector is secured to the enclosure. Caution is advised to align conduit to prevent stress on enclosure walls. Bonding between grounding bushings or to equipment grounding terminals must be part of the installation procedure per The Canadian Electrical Code.
