Many of Empower’s standard modules can be adapted to be installed into an “All environment” rated enclosure. Options that have been integrated into our harsh environment, systems enclosure include:

• Flexible supply voltage (AC or DC)
• T/R Switch or dummy load connection or test RF port
• Remote control via RS422 or RS232 or Ethernet or TTL
• Variable temperature controlled fans
• Pole mounting kits

Contact an Empower representative to help define your how your application can be integrated into this enclosure. Many Empower COTS modules can also be hardened for the most severe operating conditions. In addition to our normal design processes for ruggedized environments, manufacturing and packaging enhancements can be implemented to insure maximum reliability and survivability in extreme, high altitude applications. Contact an Empower representative to learn more about these modifications.
