Which enclosure is best for harsh outdoor conditions and knocks?
Short answer
For harsh outdoor conditions where an enclosure is also at risk of being knocked, we recommend our GEOS series. GEOS enclosures tolerate temperatures from -35°C to 80°C, as well as a 24-hour ambient temperature of up to 60°C, and they resist corrosion, chemicals and prolonged exposure to UV rays. They also carry an IK09 impact rating, which means they have been tested to withstand substantial mechanical stress, and we carry out that IK impact testing in our own laboratory using controlled impacts from multiple angles.
For environments where an enclosure will face harsh outdoor conditions and mechanical stress, we recommend our GEOS series, which combines weather resistance with high impact protection.
An enclosure in this situation needs to withstand UV radiation, extreme temperatures and moisture, and to offer a strong defence against mechanical damage. The GEOS series is specifically designed to meet both challenges.
These enclosures provide protection against environmental factors, with the ability to tolerate temperatures ranging from -35°C to 80°C as well as a 24-hour ambient temperature of up to 60°C. They are also resistant to corrosion, chemicals and prolonged exposure to UV rays.
Importantly, the GEOS series offers an IK09 impact rating, meaning it has been tested to withstand substantial mechanical stress. That matters for installations in rugged environments, where knocks and bumps are part of everyday service.
To ensure our enclosures meet the highest standards, we conduct rigorous IK impact testing in our laboratory, where enclosures are subjected to controlled impacts from multiple angles, simulating real-world conditions. This is how we know they will protect your equipment even in the most demanding applications.
