sharpsvillelights Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I want to put the CCP controllers in a plastic enclosure. Anyone know of a big box store that carries something that works?
Ron Boyd Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 They already come in water proof casesNot by what happened to me last year. I would go a little beyond what they come in
Crazydave Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 They should easily fit in a cg 1500 enclosure .... dont know if the mounting screw tabs line up. But size is compatible
dstevens Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Not by what happened to me last year. I would go a little beyond what they come in+1 on that. I lost a CCB controller last year due to moisture.
Dad02 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Try turning a shallow plastic storage tub upside down over it, paint it black and you won't even notice it. Has worked for me for many years.
George Simmons Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 +1 on that. I lost a CCB controller last year due to moisture. Ditto - I lost one too. The replacement seems to be sealed much better than the original, though.
indi Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I screwed my CCP controllers to a 1X. On the back of the 1x I used a couple of bolts and nuts to attach a piece of 1/2" PVC. I plan to drive a piece of rebar in the the ground, the slide the PVC over the bar. I plan to cover the controllers with a zip lock bag and duct tape in on. Then spray paint the zip lock bag.Hope it works.
robigd Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) They should easily fit in a cg 1500 enclosure .... dont know if the mounting screw tabs line up. But size is compatible I tried this with my CCB controller, and I am assuming CCP is the same, but you will need to cut the power cord and re-solder it because it won't fit through the hole in the enclosure unless you enlarge it. I think of all the cableguard enclosures, the biggest hole on any of them is .75 inches, and I believe the clearance to get the power cord thru is 1". I inquired with creativelightingdisplays about this months back and this is the response I received. So it looks like the CG-500 is really tight and you may have to cut off the mounting tabs on the CCB controller to lay flat….or cut off the bottom inside lip of the CG-500. The CG-1000 is bigger and have plenty of room for the controller. The bottom holes are slightly larger than the CG-500 but not big enough for the power cord. The waterproof cables to the CCB is no problem. You have a couple of options…. 1. Make one of the holes or combine two holes larger to fit the power cord.2. De-solder the power cord from the controller and fit through one of the holes and re-solder,3. Cut the power cord and add a connector between the end and controller that sits inside the enclosure.
