12 VDC Powered Fan Cooled NEMA Enclosure
The Altelix NS242424VFD1 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.
Bonus Aluminum Bottle Opener Key
This enclosure now 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!
Removable Power and Fan Module
The NS242424VFD1 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.
Optional Battery Shelf
For solar applications that require batteries, an optional battery shelf is available. This shelf easily mounts inside the enclosure using existing hardware and comes with an adjustable battery hold-down to secure the battery. For more information see NHPS2416S-BAT. Also available is the NHP-SLA-01. This 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
Cable Glands
The enclosure features three 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. For pole mounting Altelix has available the optional NMHS-600-16 pole mount kit. This heavy-duty kit features (2) 14 gauge steel mounting brackets and (2) heavy-duty 19 gauge 304 stainless steel adjustable bands which can be used to mount to poles from 4.5" (114.3mm) to 16" (406.4mm) in diameter.
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.
