Introduction

The DXE-UE-2P is a weather-resistant, high impact thermoplastic enclosure which is ideal for
outdoor mounting of all types of lightning protectors or other equipment. Its weather-tight design
protects the inside components against rain and directed water spray.

The thermoplastic housing and wire entrance materials used in the enclosure are fire retardant, UV
stabilized and resists degradation from environmental contaminants, chemical fertilizers and
insecticide sprays. The housing can be painted with latex or oil base paints.

Included with the DXE-UE-2P:

 Weather-tight 13" x 14" x 4" (exterior) Enclosure
 Stainless Steel Hex Washer Head Slotted Sheet Metal #8 x 1/2” Screws (6)
 8" x 9.5" x 1/8" Pre-drilled 6061-T6 Aluminum Mounting Plate
 Four weather tight coaxial cable feed through couplers, MIN-MAX I.D.: 0.230". - 0.530"

ideal for most RG8U or RG-213 sized coaxial cable

 One 2” x 1/2” x 1/8” thick copper strap clamp with two drilled holes

Because this enclosure has many potential applications, no holes have been drilled in the enclosure.
Mounting holes are pre-drilled in the aluminum mounting plate. Four of the six sheet metal screws
are included to secure the mounting plate to the enclosure; the other two sheet metal screws are for
mounting the copper strap clamp to the mounting plate.

The watertight feed-through couplers mount to the top of the case. Drilling or a hole saw is
required. Eleven port openings exist in the bottom. Two are large for conduit coaxial entry/exit, 9
are smaller for coaxial cable, rotor cable, telco lines, etc. The openings are sealed by a foam insert.

Figure 1 - Utility Enclosure shown mounted on a brick wall with optional equipment

A typical application is shown in Figure 1. Three 50 Ω coaxial lightning suppressors and one 75Ω
receive protector are mounted to the aluminum plate. A copper strap is bonded to the plate with the
included bonding clamp and runs to a Single Point Ground system.

Installation

The DXE-UE-2P can be mounted on exterior walls covered with wood, aluminum or vinyl siding
or in the mortar joints of a brick or block wall. Use the three point mounting bosses as shown in
Figure 2. If you are mounting to masonry, install masonry anchors in the mortar joints and use the
appropriate screws. Toggle bolts or other specialty anchors may be needed depending on the
mounting surface. If necessary, the enclosure can be mounted on a pipe or post with strap clamps.
See Figure 2. DX Engineering has Stainless Clamps in a variety of sizes.

Preparing the Aluminum Mounting Plate

Because of the wide variety of applications and configurations, it would be prudent to layout the
equipment that will be mounted on the aluminum plate before final mounting of the enclosure.

Figure 3 - Example layout: Three PolyPhaser lightning protectors, one DXE-RLP-75FF -

Receive Coaxial Protector, and cutting a slot to use 2” wide copper strap which will go to the

customer’s single point ground.

NOTE: Your layout and items used may differ from what is shown. This is only one example.

Do a trial-fit with the plate in the enclosure before drilling the mounting holes for the suppressors or
other items you may be including inside the enclosure. Most users will align the protectors so the
respective coaxial cables enter and leave in a straight line. You might want to mark the plate to
indicate the proper orientation. This will ensure whatever you mount on the plate will fit, once the
plate is re-mounted in the enclosure using the included four #8 x 1/2” screws. When installing the
plate insert and tighten the top 2 screws through the aluminum mounting plate into the top
horizontal slot on the enclosure first, then install the bottom 2 screws as shown in Figure 3.

Remove the plate from the enclosure and lay it on a flat surface. Position the suppressors on the
plate where they will be mounted. The coaxial cable will come into the bottom of the enclosure,
through the built-in gasket, to the antenna side of the suppressor. The equipment side coaxial cable
will run from the suppressor out the top of the enclosure, through the water-tight couplers. In
Figure 1, note the alignment of the coaxial cable, suppressors and access holes are in a fairly
straight line. Some types of coaxial cable are not very flexible and sharp bends should be avoided.

Mark the location of the suppressor mounting holes using a sharp felt tip marker. You can draw an
outline of the suppressor on the plate to help locate it after drilling.

- 4 -

Note: Before mounting any suppressor, clean the aluminum plate and the mounting tab on the
suppressor. The DX Engineering Copper Cleaning kit DXE-CCK is highly recommended. It
includes cleaning pads and copper joint compound which should be used between the suppressor
mounting tab and the plate. This will assure a long-lasting corrosion-free joint. You could also use
Penetrox A. DXE-P8A. Do not use star or other washers between the suppressor and the plate.

When using the coaxial cable weather-tight couplers, use a 7/8" hole saw, available at most home
supply stores, to make the proper size hole in the enclosure. Check the hole alignment with the
bottom access holes to make sure the coaxial cable or wiring will run in a straight line from bottom
to top. Insert the coaxial cable or other wiring through the top couplers and bottom gaskets before
installing connectors.

If you intend to use a copper strap to bond the aluminum plate to your Single Point Ground as
shown in Figure 1, the included copper mounting bar is made to be used with 2” wide copper strap
available from DX Engineering. Drill the appropriate mounting holes (Suggested drill size is #29)
in the plate. You can use the included #8 x 1/2” self-tapping screws to hold the clamp and strap to
the plate. You must clean the surfaces and use copper joint compound (included in the DXE-CCK
Cleaning kit) or Penetrox A DXE-P8A between the copper and the aluminum to ensure a long
lasting, quality bond between the two dissimilar metals. A two inch long slot would be cut through
the enclosure for the 2 inch wide copper strap to go through as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 - Shows optional 2 “ wide copper strap going through a customer cut slit in the

enclosure and secured to the aluminum plate using the copper strap clamp.

- 5 -

The coaxial cables enter the bottom of the enclosure through the foam lined slots. The coaxial cable
presses easily into the foam. Press the cable firmly down until it bottoms out. The cable is now
secure and the housing protected from the weather and insects as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 - Coaxial cable routed through bottom of enclosure.

Note: In Figure 5 the smaller 75Ω receive protector (DXE-RLP-75FF) shown on the left uses

smaller diameter coaxial cable and it uses the smaller diameter optional DXE-CFT-2P
Weatherproof Cable Feed Through at the top.

Transi-Trap Surge Protectors are gas surge arresters designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage due to excess
voltage or currents generated by transient phenomena (lightning or static buildup). The elements in the Arc-Plug™ Cartridge consist
of two metal electrodes hermetically sealed in a rugged gas filled, ceramic cylinder. They perform
as voltage-dependent switches which can reliably and repeatedly carry large currents for brief
periods of time. In operation, a sufficient voltage across the element cause an arc to form between
the electrodes, changing its impedance from greater than 10,000 meg-ohms to a few milli-ohms in
less than 100 nanoseconds time. While conducting in the arc mode, the voltage across the surge
arrester is less than 30 volts. DELTA Switches and Transi-Traps are currently being used by all
branches of the U.S. Military in installations around the globe. The military applications have
grown over the years to include the Air Force's space surveillance system, Raytheon's Patriot Missile, U.S. Coast Guard DGPS
System, Ticonderoga Class Missile Cruiser's satellite communications by General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman's Marine SSB
system for the Navy's L.A. Class nuclear subs, HF point to point installations by ARINC in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Navy's
sonabuoy system protecting U.S. aircraft carriers. These customers and dozens of others in government/military and the commercial
sector are a great reason for radio amateurs to buy and use the best.
