10 Watlow Silver Series OIT Installation Guide
0600-0069-0000 Rev D
OIT should be mounted into a panel with a depth of at least 4” (105mm).
Allow a clearance of at least 1” (25mm) on each side for mou nting
hardware. Consider proper clearan ce for cable connections when mounting.
The area of the panel or mounting surface where the gask et comes into
contact must be flat and free of scrat ches, pits, and other features th at
prevent the gasket from sealing properly. If the panel or mounting
surface is not uniform, thick, flat, stiff, or smooth enough, then a sealant
such as silico ne may be requi r ed.
NOTE: Clean and deburr the panel cutout before the OIT is installed.
Warning: The OIT requires a stiff, flat, smooth mounting
surface free of blemishes to seal properly to NEMA 4.

STEPS:
1. Prepare the clamps for the OIT by positioning the metal brackets
at the mid-points of the scr ews. Position the screws so that th e
ends don’t protrude from the plastic portion.
Set the OIT in the panel cutout and hold it in place until all
clamps are in position.
2. Tighten the screw clamps in an even pattern until all are
uniformly snug.
