DSC enclosure sizes

[The tool man]

I'm considering a DSC 832 security system for my house, but I'm still
planning the locations for installing the various components.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the DSC enclosures PC5001C, PC5002C,
PC5003C, and PC5004C? I checked the DSC website, and couldn't find the
information without a password (seems rather pointless to hide such
information these days).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unfortunatly even with the password you won't find the information out you
want, I can say from personal experience the dimensions of a Power832
enclosure is around 20" tall by 16" wide

hope that helps

I don't know about overseas, but, some dealers over here source the
enclosures locally to save importing air. Just a point to note - don't be
too sure of sizes you get from the manufacturer! (not that you can as you
say without a password!)

Sounds like they reduced the size of the standard box, when the PC5010 first
came out it had a huge enclosure,

Westinghouse unfortunatly ordered smaller boxes (most likely because of the
huge FBI XL-2 boxes they were using previously) and you had to man-handle
the wiring just to make some room, I liked the bigger box myself

Thank you for the information.
