CHESTER Enclosure E3-LP

The CHESTER Enclosure E3-LP is a factory-prepared housing for the HARDWARIO CHESTER IoT platform, built on the Takachi WP13-18-5 industrial box. It measures 130 × 175 × 45 mm and is rated IP67, so a CHESTER mainboard together with its batteries and extension modules can be deployed outdoors, in utility shafts or in industrial plant. All openings, glands, the DC jack and the antenna pigtail are fitted at the factory — which is exactly what keeps the box sealed, because every hole drilled later is a hole in the ingress protection.

The E3-LP is the mains-powered version of the four-gland layout: alongside its four M8 cable glands it carries a DC jack, so the device can run from an external power supply rather than only from its internal batteries. It is the only enclosure in this group with a power connector. In HARDWARIO's enclosure overview the E3 configuration is the one listed for CHESTER Input/Current. Like the rest of the -LP range it has a light pipe that brings the board's status LED to the surface of the lid, and an opening for an external antenna terminated with a u.FL/SMA pigtail; the L in the ordering code denotes the light-coloured shell.
