Descriptions for Ground and Pole Mount Enclosures Options
TS-NC Tamper Switch: Normally closed, provides a magnetic door switch which plugs into status monitoring cards for XM2 power supplies. Most status monitoring systems provide an alarm if the enclosure door is opened. Order NC for "Normally Closed" or NO for "Normally Open" systems.
SPI Service Power Inserter: Standard on most enclosures. Rated for 15 Amps.
SPI-25A Service Power Inserter: Same as SPI but rated for 25 Amps. For use with higher output current power supplies.
LA-P+ Surge Suppressor: Consists of three Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs). Plugs directly into the enclosure’s convenience outlet providing additional protection from voltage spikes caused by lightning and other power disturbances. (specify 120V or 240V model)
JSP 120V or 240V surge protection hardwired into service entrance.
LRI-LL Local Remote Indicator Light (Long Life): Long life version of the LRI. The LRI lamp (Red) is located on the outside of the enclosure to indicate standby operation. The lamp is on when in standby operation, and FLASHING when service is required.
ACI-LL AC Output Indicator Light (Long Life): Long life version of the ACI. AC Output Indicator Light: The ACI lamp (Green) is located on the outside of enclosures. The lamp is ON only when the power supply output is present allowing the cable technician to check the operational status of the power supply without opening the enclosure. (specify 60V or 90V model)
BHM Battery Heater Mat: Turns on at 40F (5C) to increase battery capacity in cold environments. For both 36 and 48 volt applications, 120 or 240 volt models. (AC line operated)
PED-10 Pedestal Extension 10”: Used on the UPE or UPE-6 to extend the height of the enclosure.
PED-18 Pedestal Extension 18”: Used on the UPE or UPE-6 to extend the height of the enclosure.
ECF Enclosure Cooling Fan Kit: Adds a standby powered, thermostat controlled fan system to the basic ground or pole mount enclosures. Recommended for high temperature environments.
TBB Test Bypass Block. Used only on UPE-M series enclosures. 1 per 120 VAC.
BRB Battery Retaining Bar: Provides added security against batteries being accidentally thrown out of the enclosure.
MRC Module Retaining Cable: Provides added security against power supplies being accidentally thrown out of enclosure.
STH Storm Hood Kit: Provides protection from snow/dirt ingress.
