Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures Mikrotik
I've got a few I just revisited due to a lightning storm that have been in use for over a year, and didn't have that issue. I had some minor paint chipping around the hinge but that is all. I even had to open them upside down and the gasket stayed intact the whole time. One thing I do, is I put a small amount of Goop in the corners in the track to make sure it doesn't come out easily. It wasn't deformed and sealed up fine (AFAIK, it's lasted a few storms without issue).

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures Mikrotik
Enclosures are like vehicles, everyone has their favorite lol I hate the ones you suggested below and like the ones you had to coax seal :) (that stuff is supreme nasty in clothes, carpet etc especially after it gets hot and sticky) You can eliminate the gasket problems (depending on the exact problem) simple by drilling a small hole in the bottom of the case to the pressure inside is the same outside. A small hole won't cause any other problems either, a lot of commercial radio enclosures have this built in to prevent wicking of moisture (Trango atlas for example) I've got them all up and down the beach here in FL and have been fine for 5 years. I hate to have to open one up now but thats got nothing to do with the seal, just the hardware dealing with salt spray for years. Nothing I have found can take that environment for that long except a staineless steel enclosure by hoffman or eurobex that costs $200-500 each. The pvc and fiberglass are nice but after a while the sun eats them up. Any kind of aluminum or steel gets corroded or rusted out bad after years. But, the pac cases i my mind are disposable, just like the components inside these days. So long as I can get 3+ years out of it I can't complain...

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
I've seen the 8 screw leak when the cover plate is clamped down it will leave a depression in the gasket. If you ever have to open it up, the gasket does not release, and the depression remains. Tightened it back down, had to revisit the site 2 weeks later, water got in and touched the routerboard, shorting it out. Other sites where I have not had to open it back up, have been in service 2+ years since I installed them without issues.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
The box I recommended you can use a nut driver or phillips BUT older boxes need an alan wrench (or patience + vice grips). The ones that use an alan wrench seem to have disappeared though.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
What size pac wireless box were you using that had the issues and did it have the hinged cover? We use the smaller ones for the 411 board with the hinged cover with no trouble but from looking at it, the gasket isn't much there for protection. If it was a box with no hinge, just screwed on do you think that would overcome the issue? Just guessing but since I never thought of it before, not much down pressure on it from just that one screw closing it up. I like the hinges, makes it easy but now that you brought up gasket failure I would feel better with screws all the way around on a larger box. Larger box, larger area to expand and more of a chance to allow seepage through the seals?? Makes sense to me. Just thinking aloud here.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
That is almost going to require at least a fan. I like the NEMA 3R boxes from Saginaw Control and Engineering http://www.saginawcontrol.com/. Hinged cover. I put a piece of DIN rail on the backplate and mount the boards on a smaller backplate. Attach DIN endplates to backplate with the board and hang them in the box. Removal/replacement requires umplugging the power, the data cable and the N-connector. Lift and pull. Put in the new one attache cables. 5 minutes to completely change an AP. These are industrial boxes with a gasket and a 1/4 turn latch that accepts a padlock.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures Mikrotik
I am in Ohio too. I find that in places where the temperature drops 50 degrees in 12 hours the gasket doesn't hold up at all. One that stands out is on the side of a hotel - blazing sun to dark shadow. I have taken the boxes, cleaned them out, put in new equipment and then coax seal the top edge (YUCK!) to "fix" this. Since I found them I have really liked these (2 or 4 N hole versions): http://quicklinkwireless.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=DCE-H-LG-2&eq=&Tp= http://quicklinkwireless.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=DCE-H-LG-4&eq=&Tp= No one will share who makes them, but they're available several places.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures Mikrotik
We've been using the small pacific wireless boxes with the hinged lid for our 411 boards. Cast aluminum. I've never had any heat issues from them but we're in Ohio, not that bad for heat.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
The new ones I've been getting from Butch are big enough and are pretty strong. Nice weather proof gasket too. In fact they are so tough that you have to drill out the knock outs! sigh We went with these boxes so that we can just swap boards in the future. We're using bulk head n-f/f gender benders with n-m pigtails. Change radios and all we have to do is change the guts and the pig tail. NO need to retape anything. Should make future upgrades a lot easier. We'll just keep a spare in the shop so we can pre-drill the backplane for any radio we decide to put in them. Hope that helps. laters, marlon - Original Message - From: "Mike Goicoechea" To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 8:47 AM Subject: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik > Does anyone know of good "ruggedized" enclosures that a mtk 433ah and 411 > will fit in.

Re: [WISPA] ruggedized enclosures mikrotik
Does it have to be temperature controlled? I find that the no-brand chinese enclosures work here in Ohio - ranging from 110 to -10. The worst scenario they hold up well against is the 110 early afternoons to 60 night times and back - that killed the PacWireless enclosures.
