The device is about the size of your hand or so and is plastic. I am mounting it in an IP NEMA box. The mounting holes on the device cannot change, I am only integrating the device into the enclosure. The current method fails because it is only constrained in 2 dimensions and because it is...
I'm just trying to find a good way to mount the device. Is there confusion about the screw pocket method of mounting I am describing? Are the questions about the inherent difficulty of this mounting method?
First of all, it doesn't fully lock down the device. Its only constrained in 2 dimensions. Also, there is difficulty in installing in this manner because the screws have to be protruding just the right amount.
