Overview

Protect your outdoor electrical and electronic enclosures from solar radiation and harsh weather with the nVent SW1LGLWH Wall-Mount Solar Shield (SKU: SW1LGLWH). This Type 4 and 12 rated shield significantly reduces internal enclosure temperatures, preventing overheating and extending equipment lifespan. It blocks direct sunlight, rain, and snow from the top, sides, and rear. The white powder paint finish maximizes solar heat reflection, achieving an approximate 56% reduction in temperature rise due to solar heat load, as per nVent research. Constructed from durable 14-gauge galvanized steel, it offers long-term corrosion resistance. Two sets of fully-adjustable mounting channels allow for the secure installation of various wall-mount enclosures, including nVent (Hoffman) CONCEPT, INLINE, and standard NEMA Type 4 junction boxes (e.g., Bulletins A51NF and A51FL). Dimensions are 24.00" x 24.00" x 12.75", accommodating enclosures up to 20.00" x 20.00" x 12.00". Mounting hardware and instructions are included for straightforward installation.
  • Adjustable mounting allows various wall-mount enclosures to fit inside the solar shield
  • Refer to the table to determine which solar shield fits your enclosure size
  • Shields are finished with paint over plated surfaces
  • Hardware is included for mounting the solar shield to an enclosure
  • Accommodates enclosures up to 20" x 20" x 12"

How to Install the SW1LGLWH Enclosure

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the SW1LGLWH enclosure. Refer to the nameplate or datasheet for specific model ratings, dimensions, and electrical values.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Level, Measuring tape, Wire strippers, Wire crimpers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (screws, bolts, anchors), Wire connectors, Grounding lug, Sealing fittings (if applicable)

  1. Select Mounting Location

    Choose a suitable location for the enclosure. Ensure the location is accessible, provides adequate space for wiring and maintenance, and is protected from environmental hazards. Verify that the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the enclosure and its contents. Check the enclosure's nameplate or datasheet for any specific environmental or location restrictions.

  2. Prepare the Enclosure

    If necessary, drill mounting holes in the enclosure back panel according to the selected mounting method (e.g., wall mount, pole mount). Install any required conduit hubs or sealing fittings. Ensure all unused openings are properly sealed.

  3. Mount the Enclosure

    Securely mount the SW1LGLWH enclosure to the chosen surface using appropriate mounting hardware. Use a level to ensure the enclosure is installed vertically or horizontally as required. Verify that the enclosure is firmly attached and stable.

  4. Install Internal Components (if applicable)

    If the enclosure is to house internal components such as back panels, mounting plates, or sub-assemblies, install them now according to their specific instructions. Ensure all components are properly secured and aligned.

  5. Wire the Enclosure

    Route external power and control wiring into the enclosure through the appropriate conduit or cable entries. Connect the wiring to the internal terminals or devices as per the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Install grounding connections to the enclosure and any internal metallic components. Refer to the nameplate or datasheet for specific wiring requirements and conductor sizes. Verify all connections with a multimeter before energizing.

  6. Final Inspection and Sealing

    Perform a final inspection of all installed components and wiring. Ensure all covers, doors, and conduit entries are properly sealed to maintain the enclosure's environmental rating (e.g., NEMA or IP rating). Close and secure the enclosure door.
