E-EQ-NEMARG-F NEMA Type 4 Enclosure Reference Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Features

LXE’s NEMA Type 4 Enclosure is designed to protect enclosed devices from harsh conditions,

excluding hazardous locations. An Access Point, bridge or a combination of two of these devices

may be installed in the enclosure. The Enclosure is watertight, dust tight and intended for indoor

or outdoor use, meeting the specifications of UL50 when mounted vertically. The unit is designed

for environments ranging from 0º C to 50º C (32º F to 122º F). An optional heater extends the

operating temperature range to -30º C (-22º F). The weatherproof NEMA Type 4 Enclosure is UL

listed for indoor and outdoor use when wired using permanent, weatherproof, electrical

connections. Please do not drill or punch additional holes or openings into the enclosure, as this

voids the Type 4 rating and LXE warranty of the enclosure.

User-supplied ½ inch (1.3 cm) liquid tight flexible conduit fittings are required for AC wiring and

Ethernet cable. If use of alternate conduit fittings is required, Type 4 rated fittings should be used.

The recommended conduit size is ½ inch (1.3 cm).

Designed for indoor or outdoor installation, the NEMA Enclosure allows the LXE 802.11b

wireless networks to be expanded into harsh, environments where dust or water may damage

traditional mounted devices. With the optional heater, network coverage can be added in extreme

temperature environments. The NEMA enclosure protects wireless access points and bridges from

rain, snow, ice, hose spray, dust and sand.

External Interfaces

The Enclosure provides provisions for external connections through watertight entrances, as

detailed below.

Electrical

When mounted on a wall, the Enclosure provides power input via a conduit-fitting hole, located on

the bottom of the unit. The Enclosure is available with 120V AC or 240V AC power

configuration. The power is distributed to enclosed APs, bridges, heaters and other accessories.

When the Enclosure is equipped with an optional heater, power is first applied to the heater. Once

the temperature reaches the operating range of the enclosed device, power is applied to the

enclosed device.

Both the 120V and 240V AC power configurations are available with optional lightning protection

to protect against power surges. Please contact your LXE representative if you would like to add

AC power lightning suppression to your Enclosure.

Ethernet

A Cat5 Ethernet cable can be routed into the Enclosure via a conduit-fitting hole on the bottom of

the Enclosure. Optional lightning protection is available for the Ethernet connection. Please

contact your LXE representative if you would like to add Ethernet lightning suppression to your

Enclosure.

2 Features

NEMA Type 4 Enclosure Reference Guide E-EQ-NEMARG-F

Antenna

The Enclosure has provisions for up to four external antenna connections. An antenna is

connected to the appropriate access point or bridge via an antenna cable.

Note: To maintain the Type 4 rating of the Enclosure, the following precautions MUST BE

followed:

• When an antenna is routed through one of the antenna holes, please follow the

instruction in the Installation Kit to ensure a watertight seal is made.

• Any unused antenna holes must be securely covered by the hole plugs included

with the Enclosure.

Optional lightning protection is available for each of the four antenna connections. The actual

number of suppressors included with the Enclosure depends upon the configuration specified

when ordering.

Please contact your LXE representative if you would like to add RF antenna lightning suppression

to your Enclosure.

Note: If you are adding lightning suppression to your Enclosure, you will need one kit for each

antenna.

Features 3

E-EQ-NEMARG-F NEMA Type 4 Enclosure Reference Guide

Security

The front lid of the Enclosure is permanently attached and is secured in the closed position with

seven (7) locking tabs and screws, ensuring the watertight seal of the unit. For additional security,

the latch can be secured with a standard user-supplied padlock.

Mounting

The Enclosure is designed for vertical wall mounting. If the Enclosure will not be mounted

directly on the wall, LXE recommends mounting the Enclosure on ¾ inch (1.90 cm) plywood

mounting boards measuring 30” x 40” (76.2 cm x 101.6 cm).

Using a mounting board allows the Enclosure to attached to a ceiling truss or support column

using beam clamps, “U” bolts, or other secure methods. To maintain the NEMA Type 4 rating,

the Enclosure must be mounted vertically.

If you are uncertain as to the quality of your facility’s electric power (i.e. surges, spikes, lightning

strikes, brown outs, noise, etc.), LXE recommends that you install an Uninterruptible Power

Supply (UPS) for each unit. Select a UPS with approximately 250VA - 500VA capacities.

Note: Optional lightning suppression for AC power is available on the Enclosure.

Enclosed Devices

The Enclosure is designed to house Access Points and bridges. LXE offers mounting kits for the

following devices

• LXE 6730 (Cisco Aironet 1200 802.11b Access Point)

• LXE 6740 (Cisco Aironet 1200 802.11g Access Point)

• LXE 6723 (Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge)

• LXE 6720 (Cisco Aironet 350 Access Point)

• LXE 6520 (Orinoco 1000 Access Point)

• LXE 6540 (Proxim Orinoco AP600 Access Point)

• LXE 6543 (Proxim MP.11 Wireless Bridge)

Note: The LXE 6740 uses the same mounting kit as the LXE 6730. Please refer to

the appropriate LXE 6730 instruction sheet to install an LXE 6740.

Kits are available to mount these devices alone or in combination. Please contact your LXE

representative for available mounting combinations. Some of the network products (AP’s and

Bridges) mentioned in this document are obsolete. LXE continues to offers kits to mount these

devises as a service to our customers.

Note: The above devices have been tested and approved by LXE. Other Access Points and

Bridges may be used in the Enclosure, but have not been tested by LXE. For information

on obsolete equipment used in the NEMA enclosure, please refer to the archive section of

the LXE ServicePass website.

4 Features

NEMA Type 4 Enclosure Reference Guide E-EQ-NEMARG-F

Heater

An optional heater expands the operating range of the Enclosure. The Enclosure turns the heater

on or off as necessary to maintain the operating temperatures of the AP’s and bridges. Please refer

to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications” for the operating temperature ranges of standard and

heated Enclosures.

If the temperature is below the operating range of the enclosed device, power is supplied to the

heater only. Power is not supplied to the enclosed device until the temperature reaches the

operating range of the enclosed device. The heater is enabled when the ambient temperature is

below 15º C (59º F). Power is supplied to enclosed devices when the internal temperature is

above 0º C (32º F).

Lightning Suppression

The Enclosure has optional lightning protection. Lightning protection is available for any

combination of the following areas:

• AC power

• Ethernet

• Up to four RF antenna connections

Lightning protection is designed to meet ANSI and IEEE specifications involving a waveform of 8

μs rise time by 20 μs fall time. Lightning protection meets a minimum 10 kA.

Lightning suppression may be ordered when the Enclosure order is placed. LXE also sells

separate kits to add lightning suppression to units ordered without this option. Please contact your

LXE representative for more details.
