Mounting the HC-2500 to Poles using Band Clamps
Product Features
  • General Information
    • This enclosure was designed for controllers and projects that are too confined or just too large for the CG-1500 enclosure. This enclosure has:
      • Increased Depth - Allows up to 4 vertical power supplies to be mounted into a single enclosure
      • Increased Height - Allow for more space at the base of the controller for newer, larger controllers
    • Designed for outdoor use with full UV protection incorporated into the plastic
    • Extremely durable due to the use of a poly-carbonate material. This enclosure is 140% stronger than the material used in the CG-1500 enclosure
    • The UL listed plastic resin also incorporates the highest rated UL94, 5VA fire resistant material
    • IP Rating
      • Due to the customization methods with this product, IP ratings can vary. Vents, fans, clamps and connectors can change this rating.
      • Open bottom with blank end plate: IP65
      • Open bottom with clamps or other non-sealed connections: IP64
      • Closed bottom without any openings: IP66
      • A note on IP ratings - Sealing an enclosure so that there are no air exchanges can have negative side effects. If air with a high moisture content is trapped / sealed inside the enclosure (or any enclosure) and the temperature drops below the due point (such as overnight), water vapor will condensate (turn to liquid water) inside the enclosure as it can't escape. This is why almost no electrical box is air tight sealed but is instead water resistant with enough locations for air to exchange with the outside to prevent condensation.
  • Features
    • Flat top (compared to the ribbed top on the CG-1500) allows for application of labels.
    • Easier storage - Since the enclosure is flat on the top and bottom, stacking enclosures during storage is easier than the CG-1500
    • Available in open and closed bottoms:
      • Open (this listing page) - Allows the use of a bottom end closure that is removable, making repairs or other changes to the controller easier. Also allows for pre-cut holes for clamps, CAT5 cables and power wires - see our list of custom mounting solutions here.
      • Closed (this listing page) - This solution is similar to the CG-1500 which has not pre-drilled holes. Designed for DIY applications.

5 of 5 Nice enclosure with plenty of room for activities November 13, 2023
Reviewer: Justin from MN United States  
This first box i got i ended up using a couple of controllers, one on 12v and another on 5v.   Room to keep things organized, standoffs to run wires behind the mount plate etc.

5 of 5 Enclosure good November 11, 2023
Reviewer: dennis from toronto, ON Canada  
Enclosure had many mounting points inside so I was able to put 2 different sized power supplies inside and 2 screw terminals inside. And the outside of enclosure just looks professional. This power box looks more professional than the one I made using a regular container from walmart. Thanks holiday coro

5 of 5 Worked great October 29, 2023
Reviewer: Chris Ekerson from Newberg, OR United States  
Ordered enclosures, mounting brackets and some odds and ends. All as advertised, and worked great. The mounting plates for the HC 2500 boxes are awesome, made building controller boxes super easy.
