1. INTRODUCTION
This specification sets forth the minimum requirements for a TS2 Type 2 traffic control modular cabinet assembly.
The cabinet assembly shall meet, as a minimum, all applicable sections of the NEMA Standard Publication No.
TS2-2003. Where differences occur, this specification shall govern.

CABINET DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

2.1. The cabinet shall be constructed from type 5052-H32 aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.125
inches.
2.2. The cabinet shall be designed and manufactured with materials that will allow rigid mounting, whether
intended for pole, base or pedestal mounting. The cabinet must not flex on its mount.
2.2.1. A rain channel shall be incorporated into the design of the main door opening to prevent liquids
from entering the enclosure. The cabinet door opening must be a minimum of 80 percent of the
front surface of the cabinet. A stiffener plate shall be welded across the inside of the main door to
prevent flexing.
2.2.2. The top of the cabinet shall incorporate a 1-inch slope toward the rear to prevent rain
accumulation.
2.3. Unless otherwise specified, the cabinet shall be supplied with a natural aluminum finish. Sufficient care
shall be taken in handling to ensure that scratches are minimized. All surfaces shall be free from weld
flash. Welds shall be smooth, neatly formed, free from cracks, blowholes and other irregularities. All
sharp edges shall be ground smooth.
2.4. Where painted cabinets are specified, the exterior shall be degreased and primed with a spray applied
iron phosphate coat- equivalent to a four-stage iron phosphate coat prior to painting. The final coat shall
consist of a powder coat paint (TGIC or equivalent) applied with a minimum thickness of 2 mils.
2.5. All seams shall be sealed with RTV sealant or equivalent material on the interior of the cabinet.
2.6. All cabinets shall be supplied with a minimum of one removable shelf manufactured from 5052-H32
aluminum. Shelf shall be a minimum of 10 inches deep.
2.7. The shelf shall have horizontal slots at the rear and vertical slots at the front of the turned down side
flange. The shelf shall be installed by first inserting the rear edge of the shelf on the cabinet rear
sidewall mounting studs, then lowering the shelf on the front sidewall mounting studs. The shelf shall be
held in place by a nylon tie-wrap inserted through holes on the front edge of the shelf and around the
front sidewall mounting studs.
2.8. The front edge of the shelf shall have holes punched every 6 inches to accommodate tie-wrapping of
cables/harnesses.
2.9. A minimum of one set of vertical "C" channels shall be mounted on each interior wall of the cabinet for
the purpose of mounting the cabinet components. The channels shall accommodate spring mounted
nuts or studs. All mounting rails shall extend to within 7 inches of the top and bottom of the cabinet.
Sidewall rail spacing shall be 7.88 inches center-to-center. Rear wall rail spacing shall be 18.50 inches
center-to-center.
2.10. The main door and police door-in-door shall close against a weatherproof and dust-proof, closed-cell
neoprene gasket seal. The gasket material for the main door shall be a minimum of 0.250 inches thick
by 1.00 inch wide. The gasket material for the police door shall be a minimum of 0.250 inches thick by
0.500 inches wide. The gaskets shall be permanently bonded to the cabinet.
2.11. The lower section of the cabinet shall be equipped with a louvered air entrance. The air inlet shall be
large enough to allow sufficient air flow per the rated fan capacity. Louvers must satisfy the NEMA rod
entry test for 3R ventilated enclosures. A non-corrosive, vermin- and insect-proof, removable air filter
shall be secured to the air entrance. The filter shall fit snugly against the cabinet door wall.
2.12. The roof of the cabinet shall incorporate an exhaust plenum with a vent screen. Perforations in the vent
screen shall not exceed 0.125 inches in diameter.

minimum diameter. The handle shall include a hasp for the attachment of an optional padlock. The
cabinet door handle shall rotate counter-clockwise to open. The handle shall not extend beyond the
perimeter of the main door at any time. The lock assembly shall be positioned so that the handle shall
not cause any interference with the key when opening the cabinet door.
2.15. The main door hinge shall be a one-piece, continuous piano hinge with a stainless steel pin running the
entire length of the door. The hinge shall be attached in such a manner that no rivets or bolts are
exposed.
2.16. The main door of a size 5 or larger cabinet shall include a mechanism capable of holding the door open
at approximately 90, 125, and 150 degrees under windy conditions. Manual placement of the
mechanism shall not be required by field personnel. The main door of a size 2, 3, or 4 cabinet shall
include a mechanism capable of holding the door open at approximately 90 and 150 degrees under
