I hope that the real-world expertise on this Forum can help out a cubicle-dweller like me.
I have a customer who has damaged two PanelView 1000 terminals because of condensation inside the cabinet. Yes, he's exceeding the specifications of the PV, because he's installing it outdoors in a NEMA 4 enclosure. In the summertime, he gets cool nights and condensation forms inside the enclosure (and inside the PV terminal) and shorts out the device.
The ambient temperature doesn't exceed what the PV is rated for, so an air conditioner doesn't seem warranted.
Will a vent fan help prevent condensation ? Could a circulating fan inside the enclosure help keep the condensation off the PanelView and in solution in the air ? Anyone know of an industrial dehumidifier ?
