Altelix 24x20x12 Steel Weatherproof NEMA Enclosure with Dual 12 VDC Cooling Fans

12 VDC Powered Fan Cooled NEMA Enclosure

The Altelix NS242012VFD1 features two 3" vents and dual 12VDC thermostat controlled cooling fans which help maintain lower internal temperatures. The fans turn on when the internal temperature reaches 100°F (38°C) and turns off when it drops to 79°F (26°C).

This enclosure can be powered from 12VDC solar and battery power sources, and features a terminal strip for easy wiring.

Construction and Features
This rugged enclosure features continuous seam welded 18 Gauge (1.2mm thick) steel construction. The enclosure door is fully gasketed making this enclosure suitable for use indoors or outdoors. The door features reinforced hinges and dual quarter-turn latches to secure the enclosure. Internal grounding studs are provided on both the door and enclosure.

Both the enclosure and door are finished in a rugged epoxy polyester textured light gray powder coat finish.

Removable Power and Fan Module
The NS242012VFD1 features a removable power and fan module that attaches to the bottom of the enclosure. Constructed of rugged aluminum, this can be easily removed for servicing and is fully gasketed to ensure a proper seal. This power module features the two 12VDC cooling fans and the DC power terminal strip.

Galvanized Steel Equipment Plate
This configuration consists of the steel NEMA enclosure with hinged door and a 18 Gauge (1.2mm thick) zinc coated galvanized steel plate for mounting and securing equipment. The enclosure and plate can be drilled and modified by the installer to suit unique site requirements.

Cable Glands
The enclosure features two unique PG-16 cable glands with a closed inner seal. They are installed in the open ports to maintain the NEMA rating of the enclosure when not in use. When required for use, simply punch a hole through the inner membrane, run your cables and tighten for a water-tight seal.

Mounting
Mounting holes are provided inside the enclosure for mounting to a wall or other structure. Two optional flange and pole mounting kits are available, painted steel (model NMKS-500-08) and stainless steel (model NMKX-500-08).

Optional Lockable Latches
For additional protection of internal equipment installed, two lockable latches are available. The HN-0005 is a keyed lock set which includes two keys. The HN-0006 allows the enclosure to be securely locked via use of a padlock (not included). Both the HN-0005 and HN-0006 are direct replacements for the standard quarter-turn latches that come pre-installed in the enclosures.

Bonus Aluminum Bottle Opener Key
This enclosure includes our HN-0008 Aluminum Bottle Opener Key. A $9.99 value, this heavy duty aluminum door locking key easily attaches to most key chains. And it makes a great bottle opener too!

Optional SLA Battery Shelf
The NHP-SLA-01 is an aluminum shelf designed for use with SLA type batteries. The shelf can be easily installed by drilling (4) holes in the equipment mounting plate. A drilling template is provided. The included strap secures the battery firmly on the shelf.
