COOLING THE EQUIPMENT INSTALLED INSIDE
We use Conventional Cooling Methods for cooling. The Pole Mount version allows air intake through the bottom of the Pole and exhausts any warm air
from the Plenum Box through the top of the pole. Slots in the top and bottom of the Flat Surface Mount allow air to pass through the unit. This we call
the Chimney Effect which allows the inside of the Plenum Box to remain cool.

In order to meet NEC and State Code regulations, it is important to understand the main parts of the Code that regulate how equipment and wiring can
be installed in a Plenum or Ceiling Space.
NEC ARTICLE 400-8 and 400-8(5)......page 219 of the code states: That Flexible Cords and Cables are not permitted to be run through Walls,
Structural ceilings, Suspended Ceilings, or Dropped Ceilings. In addition the revision to 400-8 specifically prohibits these cords being used without
being properly enclosed. Regulations also prohibits the Installation of open Power Outlets in these spaces.
