Description
The Viking VE-5X5-PNL-RD is a red powder-coated steel surface-mount enclosure with a blank aluminum panel and rain guard, combining high-visibility color with a customizable mounting surface for card readers, keypads, or other access control hardware in exposed outdoor locations.
The included blank aluminum panel gives you a ready surface for custom hardware without fabrication. The rain guard provides additional overhead weather protection, making this enclosure suitable for outdoor installations where the unit is directly exposed to rain. Mounts to walls, posts, single or double gang boxes, or Viking gooseneck pedestals. The heavy-duty powder-coated steel resists rust, vandalism, and UV exposure.
Our Expert Take: The red finish makes the enclosure stand out against most backgrounds — useful at emergency call stations, restricted access points, or any location where the hardware needs to be immediately identifiable. The panel lets you add custom hardware without building a custom backplate from scratch.
