Hammond PJHMI86L 8x6 Opaque Polycarbonate HMI Cover, Snap Latch

The PJHMI86L provides an 8x6 hinged opaque polycarbonate cover with a snap latch closure that includes a padlock feature. It gives technicians quick access to instruments or electronics needing routine attention while keeping them out of sight, and the latch can be padlocked when required.

The frame (WGF86) and standard cover are injected polycarbonate; the cover pivots on a 316 stainless steel hinge pin (70-HPIN8316) and seals on a formed-in-place (FIP) polyurethane gasket in a continuous channel. An HMI under center latch (70-HMISSLCH316) holds the cover shut, and the latch includes a padlock feature to prevent unintentional opening; the replacement snap latch is part number PCJLLRSH. The series offers the light gray solid opaque cover version as PJHMI86L; the matching clear cover version is PJHMI86CCL. It is UV stabilized for outdoor use and rated for a service temperature of -31°F (-35°C) to 266°F (130°C).

The frame measures 7.93 in (201 mm) H x 6.15 in (156 mm) W x 2.27 in (58 mm) D, with a viewing area of 6.47 in (164 mm) H x 4.69 in (119 mm) W; the nominal size is 8 in x 6 in x 2 in (203 mm x 152 mm x 51 mm). Installation needs a Phillips screwdriver or similar tool: mark and cut a panel opening of up to 6.47 in H x 4.69 in W, drill 7/32 or #2 (.220 dia) holes, and mount the kit with 8 fasteners. The supplied hardware suits mounting surfaces from .059 in to .250 in thick (the series is designed for wall thicknesses from 16 gauge through 1/4 in), torqued to 15-20 in-lbs. An optional prop arm, PJHMIPROP86, is available separately.
