New Products Mar 19, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

Argus Technologies has added a new outdoor battery enclosure, the Tempest Te20b. This new enclosure allows more battery power in a compact footprint. The Te20b is an innovative environmentally controlled outdoor enclosure that provides maximum back-up power.

The new cabinet can house 10 battery strings at 24Vdc or 5 strings at 48Vdc. Each Te20b can accommodate up to 20 batteries in a single, secure cabinet solution at the maximum battery configuration.

"With the extensive growth in wireless networks worldwide, the Te20b is a natural extension in Argus' wide range of small footprint outdoor enclosures for wireless applications," commented Doug Wicks, Product Manager.

Inside the Te20b's rugged, graffiti-resistant exterior, optimal battery temperature is maintained with an integrated solar shield, heater, and air conditioner. A solid steel internal equipment rack and a non-corrosive, light aluminum exterior, ensures the Tempest Te20b's structural integrity. The exterior is fully protected with security switches, pad-lockable doors, and intrusion alarms.
