STI EM362408WA Metal Protective Cabinet with Window and AC/Heater
Overview
The EM362408WA is a UL Type 4 metal protective enclosure designed to house fire alarm control panels, access control electronics, and other temperature-sensitive equipment in outdoor or harsh environments. The cabinet protects equipment from physical tampering, weather exposure, and temperature extremes through durable metal construction paired with integrated AC and heating units. A transparent window allows quick visual inspection of housed equipment without cabinet disassembly—critical for status verification and emergency access scenarios. Mount this cabinet directly to walls at predetermined locations to safeguard control panels, readers, power supplies, and communication modules in high-traffic areas or uncontrolled environments where temperature fluctuation or exposure to elements would compromise system reliability.
Compatibility
This cabinet accommodates control panels, fire alarm panels, and access control equipment measuring up to 21 inches wide × 33 inches high × 6 inches deep, provided adequate internal airflow is maintained. The cabinet integrates with multi-door access control systems and fire alarm networks requiring central equipment protection. Designed for installations where environmental protection is mandatory—outdoor locations, loading docks, entryways subject to weather exposure, and high-security zones where equipment vulnerability poses risk. The integrated AC/heater combination works with any standard 120V single-phase power supply commonly available at building perimeters.
Installation Notes
Wall-mounted installation via included mounting plate for the control panel. Cabinet includes two 1/4-inch toggle latches to restrict unauthorized access to housed equipment. The external AC/heater unit is mounted outside the cabinet to minimize internal space intrusion. Durable powder-coat finish resists corrosion in outdoor conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet for AC condenser airflow. No special tools or wiring harnesses are required beyond standard electrical installation practices for the 120V heater/AC connection.
