SECURITY PROVISIONS

Enclosure Security

The PureWave AVC enclosure incorporates a number of features to
minimize hazards to qualified persons and to the general public.
Enclosures are fabricated from 11-gauge steel sheet and are free-
standing and self-supporting. There are no externally removable side
sheets, rear sheets, or roofs to invite removal. Access is through wide
bulkhead-type doors having concealed cam-type, high-strength
latches that seal the doors shut. Each door has a minimum of three
concealed, extra-heavy-duty hinges with stainless-steel pins. All doors
are padlockable and have top and side flanges with double 90-degree
bends which overlap the door openings, adding rigidity and discour-
aging tampering.

Access Control

Access to internal components, controls, and meters is controlled by
padlockable doors. Baffles and screens cover all vents, discouraging
wire poking. Since this unit may be located in areas accessible to the
general public as well as authorized but unqualified persons, care
must be taken to alert such persons to the presence of high voltage
within the enclosure. Therefore, do not remove any of the “Danger!
High Voltage! Keep Out” signs that have been attached to the unit. Any
organization altering or removing these hazard-alerting signs must
assume full responsibility for such actions. Take particular care to be
sure that all doors and handles are securely padlocked before leaving
the unit unattended, even momentarily.
