Security
Locks
In order to restrict access to internal areas of the outdoor cabinet to only authorized maintenance
personnel, the cabinet should be equipped with (a) corrosion resistant integral keyed locks for all
hinged access doors; and (b) corrosion resistant fasteners, which require the use of special tools
for access points, where routine entry is not allowed.
External Lighting
Consideration should be given to the site location where the outdoor cabinet will be installed.
While lighting is not a cabinet specific function, in the event that external lighting is necessary or
anticipated, allowances should be made during the cabinet design to support the necessary
requirements placed on the cabinet in this event. This includes but is not limited to requirements
for power, cabinet penetrations, and light control equipment placement.
Site Placement
Ground installation
The outdoor cabinet should be placed on a solid foundation or equipment platform designed by a
licensed engineer. Foundation design should be based on the bearing capacity of the soil on
which the foundation or platform is located.
Building Rooftop or Equipment Room Installation
A structural analysis should be performed by a licensed Structural Engineer. The Structural
Engineer will determine if (a) a rooftop or interior equipment room floor must be reinforced; (b)
the cabinet should be relocated to another point on the rooftop; or (c) another site should be
selected to prevent damage to the rooftop or to the building structure. The combination of the
weight of the cabinet material and the installed electrical, electronic, or mechanical components
may readily exceed the design load capacity of the rooftop or floor on which the cabinet is
installed.
