TJ Hvasta Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 If you have a Habitat For Humanity ReStore in your area, go in and look for large breaker panel boxes.. I picked up one that can -easily- hold 6 controllers for $10, and they have the punch-out holes for clamps already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the mounting studs along the top matched the predrilled high power heatsinks on the PC controller, so I just needed to add a couple of nuts and bolts at the bottom for support. Could have added reinforced strain relief for the wires, but the existing holes sufficed.I don't know that they're watertight, though, so I covered the ones that were outside.

Max-Paul Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Dan,If that 12x12x5 box is also know as the 1000 box, then they are water tight. We had some real down pours this year after Thanksgiving. Not a drop in the box, but still had some water in the channel around the edges. I would only have to worry I think if there had been an huricane like winds with the rain. In cases like that, nothing is going to stay dry.But you keep on putting bags or what ever over your box. As they say, better safe than sorry.

George Simmons Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Jeff Millard wrote: The 16PC controllers will fit without turning them sideways, as long as you reverse the screw/nut combination attaching the Triacs to the Heat Sink. I used a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to remove the part of the thread that sticks out beyond the nut. Seemed a lot quicker than reversing the screw.

The CG1000's are the ones Jeff mentioned. Good to know they keep the weather out, but I'll still throw a tote or something similar over them.

kingwoodpcrx Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 True, the metal boxes are expensive, but in my case, I purchased the Plastic NEMA enclosures, with electrical outlet and in bulk min 4 at 159.99 for the set at 40.00 ea or individually at 48.99here is the link directly to the boxes: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=22109I'm using them to extend a wired cat6 connection past 900 feet using the boxes and poe switches.The metal boxes are expensive, but if the equipment is expensive then you may want to spend extra to have a heater.

TJ Hvasta Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well that depends... nearly all the breaker boxes in AZ are mounted outside the house, so most likely they are.. the bonus is really getting more than one controller in a box, so if you have many, they can be ganged..

Chris A Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Has anyone found a plastic enclosure that could hold 3-4 LOR boards? Could this be a product that LOR could offer someday?Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
