What enclosures does Federal Signal use?

Sun Jul 21, 2024 3:52 am

I've been doing some researching and looking into which models of enclosures that Federal Signal uses for their control cabinetry. I was initially just looking for the enclosure the FC comes in, but I'm now kinda interested in the others. I was told to look at the manufacturer "Hoffman" and the closest model I can find to the standalone FC enclosure is the A1210CH, but that one has clamps on the side, not the lockable quarter turn latch (Hoffman EPL4). Does anyone have any other pertinent info? I might just grab a beat up A1210CH on ebay to house my FC.

Just a heads up in regards to that type of cabinet, they are somewhat prone to leaking. Couldn't tell you why, it just seems that the seals on that type of cabinet tend to fail. If you plan to leave it outside, I'd recommend wrapping the door with electrical tape and putting some desiccant inside. It ain't pretty, but it'll keep your fc alive.
