When would it be desirable to use a Remote Control Enclosure (RMB) instead of mounting the switches onto the Strip Heater (Foodwarmer)?

Hatco strongly recommends that switches be mounted remotely (away from the Strip Heater) whenever possible. The Remote Control Enclosure is ideal for mounting and wiring the switches and/or indicator lights at a location away from the Strip Heater. NOTE: WHEN USING INFINITE CONTROLS ON DUAL STRIP HEATERS, THE INFINITE CONTROLS ARE REQUIRED TO BE REMOTELY MOUNTED DUE TO HEAT AND AMPERAGE FACTORS.
