Pulling this from Ametek O'Brien website...they specialize in this type of stuff as a third party provider... Weather protection: "protects instrument electronic from radiant solar temperature gain as well as providing limited protection from blowing dust and rain" It's the same on our radar.  You don't want the electronics to exceed their ambient temperature rating.  Generally, that's about 180 °F.   I honestly don't see the need for it very often.  The instruments have an IP rating and/or NEMA rating which allows them to be used in all types of weather...the additional weather protection seems redundant to me.    I think it's used because it's in a spec and that spec hasn't been updated for years!   You can order it with the radar model code when getting a radar or you can also get it as a spare part: https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_enDocType=Data+Bulletin&p_File_Name=pl_011-001_b.pdf&p_Doc_Ref=pl_011-001   ...

Great idea.  Thanks. ... View more

Thanks Nick.  It's a good start.  I'd like to flesh it out more to actually discuss additional technologies.  Hopefully it's a primer for a frank discussion regarding how we always end up doing things the way we've always done them.  Vendors, end users and engineers have to work together. ...

Ricardo - sorry no INMETRO.  ATEX, IECEx, cQPSus and NEPSI are the approvals we'll offer.  Here's a datasheet showing everything that will be available on April, 3, 2020 in buyautomation.com  https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_enDocType=Data+Bulletin&p_File_Name=998-20794299_24-80_GHz_GMA_datasheet.pdf&p_Doc_Ref=998-20794299_24-80_datasheet ...
