2.2 Mounting the Hurricane Enclosure
The Hurricane enclosure may be mounted horizontally or vertically, on a solid structure, truss
or equivalent, rated for the weight of the enclosure and any equipment housed inside it.
Snow – if installed outside in cold regions, the lowest part of the Hurricane enclosure must be
at least 2’ (60cm) above maximum height of any snowfall or drifting snow, subject to local
conditions. If snow is not a consideration, then the enclosure must be installed at least
12”/30cm above ground level and maintained clear of drifting leaves and other potential
blockages to good drainage.
Enclosure will need to be powered at all times, although projector may not be.
