3-5 Outdoor Installation
The WAVEXpress/BTS can also be mounted in an enclosure for outdoor use. The outdoor enclosure for the
WAVEXpress conforms to the NEMA-4 environmental rating and completely seals the WAVEXpress from
environmental influences. The enclosure consists of a steel enclosure box, a heat exchanger, and sun shield. The
welded steel enclosure is provided with a door which seals with a molded in-place gasket. The enclosure’s heat
exchanger is an integrated air-to-air type, mounted on the top of the enclosure. The sun shield mounts over the
enclosure in order to deflect direct sunlight and protect the heat exchanger. A UPS is also offered with the enclosure
and provides up to seven minutes of backup time.
