Deployment / Use Cases
The DSC MAXSYS PC4050CR mounting enclosure is engineered for commercial security system deployments where expansion modules require protected, organized housing. Its primary application is in access control systems, intrusion detection installations, and integrated security platforms that utilize DSC PowerSeries expansion hardware.
Typical deployment scenarios include corporate office buildings, retail facilities, educational institutions, healthcare environments, and industrial sites where security systems must operate reliably in controlled environments. The enclosure is particularly valuable in installations where multiple expansion modules need to be consolidated in a single, secure location rather than distributed throughout a facility.
Access Control Systems
Ideal for housing door controller expansion modules, reader interface units, and access management hardware in centralized security closets or equipment rooms.
Intrusion Detection Installations
Provides protected housing for zone expansion modules, communicator interfaces, and peripheral controllers in alarm system central locations.
Physical Profile
The PC4050CR features a bright red powder-coated steel finish that provides both corrosion resistance and easy visual identification in equipment environments. The enclosure dimensions are optimized for standard 19-inch rack mounting when used with appropriate brackets, while also supporting secure surface mounting on walls or inside cabinets. The design includes ventilation provisions to prevent heat buildup while maintaining security, with attention to cable entry/exit points that support professional installation practices.

FAQ
What expansion modules are compatible with the PC4050CR enclosure?
The PC4050CR is specifically designed for DSC PowerSeries expansion modules, including the HSM2204, HSM2208, and HSM2300 models. These modules are commonly used for zone expansion, communicator interfaces, and peripheral control in DSC security systems. The enclosure provides precise mounting points and interior space optimized for these specific hardware configurations.
What are the dimensions of this mounting enclosure?
The PC4050CR measures 14.80 inches in length, 12.01 inches in width, and 5.04 inches in height (376 × 305 × 128 mm). These dimensions provide sufficient interior volume for housing expansion modules while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for wall mounting, cabinet installation, or rack mounting with appropriate hardware.
Is this enclosure suitable for commercial security installations?
Yes, the PC4050CR is designed specifically for commercial applications. It features commercial-grade steel construction, secure mounting design, and professional finish that meets the requirements of corporate, institutional, and industrial security installations. The enclosure is manufactured in Canada to quality standards appropriate for demanding commercial environments.
What material is used in the construction of this enclosure?
The PC4050CR is constructed from durable steel with a bright red powder-coated finish. Steel provides superior physical protection compared to plastic alternatives, offering impact resistance, tamper resistance, and electromagnetic interference shielding. The powder coating adds corrosion resistance and maintains the distinctive red color for easy identification.
Can this enclosure be mounted in a standard equipment rack?
While primarily designed for surface mounting, the PC4050CR can be installed in standard 19-inch equipment racks using appropriate mounting brackets or shelves. The enclosure dimensions are compatible with rack mounting configurations, and many integrators use it in security equipment racks alongside power supplies, network equipment, and other system components.
What is included with the PC4050CR mounting enclosure?
The PC4050CR mounting enclosure includes the steel enclosure body with pre-drilled mounting holes and ventilation provisions. Mounting hardware such as screws or brackets may need to be selected based on your specific installation requirements.
