Peerless-AV XACE-01 – Xtreme Active Climate Enclosure (Small)

Product Overview

The Peerless-AV XACE-01 is a small Xtreme Active Climate Enclosure that protects media players, mini PCs, and other AV electronics deployed in harsh indoor or outdoor environments. This active climate enclosure uses a thermal electric system to both heat and cool the interior, keeping equipment dust-free, dry, and within the manufacturer's stated operating temperature range. With an IP66-rated design, it is suited to digital signage, smart city, and outdoor commercial deployments where exposed electronics would otherwise fail.

Product Description

Integrators deploying outdoor digital signage, kiosks, and remote AV systems need a way to keep sensitive electronics within their operating limits year-round. The XACE-01 addresses this with active thermal management rather than passive venting: an integrated thermal electric system engages cooling when the interior runs hot and heating when it runs cold, so the enclosed device stays protected through temperature swings. The IP66 rating seals out water, dust, moisture, and insects, making the enclosure appropriate for outdoor and washdown-prone locations. A removable internal mounting tray simplifies integration, letting the technician mount and wire the device on the bench before installing it in the enclosure, while dual internal electrical outlets supply power to the device and an accessory such as a media player or networking gear. The small XACE-01 accommodates devices up to 11.45" x 10.00" x 3.42" (291 x 253 x 87mm). For larger components, compare the rest of the Peerless-AV collection.
