CBX Powered Enclosure System

CBX & Powershed Product Flier

The EMpower CBX Enclosure System is a series of low cost equipment shelters suitable for temporary and permanent installations. They are based on standard intermodal containers equipped with a custom internal electric power system based on customer requirements. The typical usage is for self contained equipment support in remote or isolated locations. The electrical power source is usually grid, solar or wind and can be a combination of any of these in various formats. CBX advantages include:

Low Cost
Weatherproof
Secure
Transportable

Commercial intermodal container sizes include:

Power system options are easily defined with the CBX part number building guideline:

The Series and Size designation define the intermodal container size.
The Power Source designator can include any or all of the Grid, Solar or Wind power input options.
The System Voltage designator defines either a 120 VAC or 240 VAC primary system voltage.
The System Phase designator allows for Single, Split or 3 Phase power options.
The Inverter Size designation defines the inverter continuous power output capacity.
The Battery Type designator indicates either L16 or GC2 type AGM batteries. Flooded type batteries can also be used.
The Bank Size designator indicates the battery bank size, the number of batteries in the bank.
The Input Watts designator defines the TOTAL maximum power input to the system from all available sources combined.

Typical power system installations will only use a small amount of the interior space, leaving ample room for user equipment and storage. Optional interior environmental HVAC equipment can be included where necessary. HVAC equipment limitations are primarily defined by power availability. Low power equipment options may be available for off-grid locations depending on HVAC requirements and temperature controlled exterior ventilation is always available.

CBX unit pricing is based on component cost, labor and shipping charges. All prices are subject to change without notice. Quotes are good for 90 days.

EM501 Communications Support System

The EM501 is a modular field communications support system for emergency management and first responder organizations using P25 and other Digital Trunk Radios and Repeaters.

Designed to provide unmatched performance and flexibility, the EM501 allows unattended operation of communications and electronic equipment in remote or urban environments. It is a lightweight, solar powered, all-weather equipment platform that can be transported easily using All-Terrain Vehicles or mounted in light trucks. EM501 advantages include

Low Cost
Weatherproof
Rugged
ATV Transportable

Two equipment bays provide 7U standard 19 inch rack mounting rails per the EIA 310-D specification. The larger bay allows fixed or transportable DVRS units to be installed or stowed for transport allowing for immediate deployment. The EM501 consists of three individual main components:

Solar Panel Mount Assembly
Main Equipment Enclosure
ATV Off-Road Trailer

The Solar Panel Mount Assembly protects and carries many popular sizes of commercially available Photo-Voltaic panels. It accommodates 2 panels and can be set-up or towed in under 30 seconds. Solar power output is typically 500 Watts.

The Main Equipment Enclosure is a fork-lift ready, weather-tight enclosure with five internal compartments, three of which have external access doors:

The internal vented battery compartment holds up to four, GC2 Group size sealed batteries.
The internal electronics compartment can accommodate battery charge controllers and AC power inverters up to 4000 Watts.
The system control bay has two external access doors and houses all power system controls and circuit breakers. It also provides AC and DC power outlets and an external AC charging inlet.
Two equipment bays allow for 19 inch rack mounted or unmounted equipment. Power outlets for NEMA AC and Vehicle Type DC are provided for easy charging of radios, phones and computers using standard commercial chargers.

The Main Equipment Enclosure also provides two telescoping antenna masts that can extend to over ten feet.

The ATV Off-Road Trailer is a rugged vehicle option for towing the EM501 package. It provides extendable outrigger jacks for added stability and a detachable hitch. The hitch is available in either a 2 inch ball receiver or Pintle ring. The trailer has a 2000 pound carrying capacity and comes with heavy duty 25 inch ATV tires.

This trailer is not for highway use, but the EM501 can be easily mounted on any highway approved, commercially available trailer.
