The box is a rugged 18″ x 16″ x 8″ 120 VAC NEMA Enclosure with fan that is ideal for keeping your contents very cool, with a much lower turn on cooling fan, for indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed from molded fiberglass, it is well suited for higher temperature or corrosive environments. The mounting flange allows it to be wall mounted as well as on a flat surface. The box can also be pole mounted with the optional pole mounting hardware kit. The fully gasketed lid features a stainless steel continuous hinge and stainless steel quick release latches with padlock hasps. The enclosure material is UV stabilized and comes in machine tool gray. The enclosure also features holes for mounting Lightning Protectors or Connectors, a grounding lug and cable conduit connector.
To help ensure trouble-free operation of electronic equipment, proper operating temperatures inside an enclosure needs to be maintained. With the built-in cooling fan, internal temperatures can be better maintained. This model is ideal in Hot environments.
The outdoor 120 VAC NEMA Enclosure includes a thermostat-controlled 22W (Max) fan. The high airflow, low noise fan used allows air to be pushed or pulled through the enclosure. Filters for both ports are easily removable for cleaning and replacement.
The fan turns on when the internal temperature rises to 85° F (29° C) ±5° and turns off at 67° F (19° C) ±10°. Like the heater, the enclosure cooling fan does not require the use of any of the AC outlets, leaving them all available for your equipment.
