Lifesafety Power E8M3-BOXED Enclosure

Overview

The E8M3-BOXED is a 36-inch by 30-inch by 6.5-inch black metal enclosure from Lifesafety Power, sized for wall or surface mounting in surveillance and access control installations. This unit houses power distribution equipment, battery backup modules, or relay logic in confined spaces where standard rack cabinets are impractical—think wiring closets, server rooms, or equipment shelters adjacent to camera or door-control runs. The black finish resists corrosion in moderate indoor environments; the Mercury backplate and door-mounted design support left or right-hand access and accommodate standard DIN rail, terminal blocks, and breaker configurations inside.

Compatibility

The E8M3-BOXED integrates with Lifesafety Power supply modules, backup battery systems, and power distribution architectures that ship with or reference Mercury-series enclosures. Verify your existing Lifesafety Power cabinet spec sheet or equipment list to confirm the E8M3 dimensions and mounting footprint match your panel layout. If you are retrofitting or expanding an older installation, cross-check the backplate configuration and available internal DIN rail space against the devices you plan to mount inside.

Installation Notes

Mount the enclosure directly to wall studs or a structural surface using appropriate fasteners for your wall type (concrete anchors, lag bolts, or studs). The 6.5-inch depth accommodates terminal blocks and small-footprint modules but leaves minimal clearance for large transformers or stacked relay modules—measure your internal equipment depth before installation. Ensure adequate ventilation around the enclosure if housing heat-generating components like uninterruptible power supplies or chargers. Route incoming power and control wiring through knockouts or cable entries on the rear or sides, and label all circuits at the breaker positions inside for future troubleshooting.
