MAWS HydroMet™ Systems for Meteorological and Hydrological ...

Technical Description ________________________________________________________________
The modular design allows optional devices to be installed on two
levels. These installation modules can easily be removed for
maintenance or replacement. The installation frame for equipment is
made of stainless steel, which also provides excellent protective
grounding.
The enclosure material is highly resistant to corrosion, ultra-violet
radiation, principal chemicals and atmospheric agents. The door
sealing is ensured by using an extruded polyurethane foam gasket.
The door has two keyed locks.
The protection rating is min. IP 65 (equiv. NEMA 4X) i.e. dust tight
and sealed against water jets. The enclosure material is selfextinguishing.
The ENC542PLM enclosure can be equipped with an optional metal
radiation shield, which is painted white. This shield gives additional
protection against excessive sun radiation or falling material such as
ice, tree branches etc. In addition, as standard there is a white back
plate, this gives additional protection against excessive sun radiation.
The enclosure has an optional pressure compensation element
installed on the bottom plate. This element compensates for varying
degrees of pressure caused by the temperature differences. The
element has a GoreTex membrane filter, which prevents moisture
sucking in while the enclosure is cooling off, because the element can
"breathe". This membrane filter element together with plastic material
of high quality and white painted shields significantly reduces water
condensation inside the enclosure. Therefore no drying agent, such as
silicacel bags, is required inside the enclosure.
