joefrick Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 since the neighborhood kids like (as in stole) my strobes from halloween i've decided to secure all my controllers. it is a deck box from lowes. it holds 10 controllers with 2 seperate sub-pannels. i put 2 50 amp four prong RV outlets on the side of my house. it may even help me store all the spt extension cords i'll now need during the off season. this is my first year and im going in with 160 chanels. tell me what you think.

MikeH Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nice! But I don't see where all the channels will be coming out of the box. Is there an invisible hole there somewhere?MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Saul Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 very neat and well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Long Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Great idea, i had been thinking of doing something similar. I've only got 48 channels so far but it will keep everything neat and tidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefrick Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 the access hole for the stp cords is not cut yet. im going to cut it in then fabracate a hood to prevent rain or snow from intruding into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixnight Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Here is my. I'm a newbie with 16 ch and I decided to install the controller into the garage very close to the gate and run the cords under it, I have 2 20 amps dedicated breakers.

progressivetek Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Does it have a lock hasp? Very well done, especially the power architecture. Gonna get ugly with 160 ext cords plugged in though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefrick Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 if i get a chance i'll post a pic with all the cords in it. it did get rather full quickly , nonetheless its all very manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStatefan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 That looks very nice. I started with 3 channel last year and am up to 16 this year. I can not imagine 160 channels.mixnightFrom the picture those look like 15 amp duplex outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefrick Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 they are 15 amp GFCI outlets. the loads on each controller are well below 15 amps, however each is on its own breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
