Stahlin® Enclosures, manufacturers of high-performing non-metallic electrical and industrial enclosures, has introduced Stahlin SolarShield™ HMI Covers, providing the ultimate HMI screen protection in the harshest of environments.

“Our new SolarShield HMI Clear Cover brings the convenience and efficiency of hands-free viewing,” says Craig Mitchell, President of Stahlin Enclosures. “No longer do you need to unlock and open a cover to take readings from your HMI. At the same time, this configuration, as with our patented opaque cover, provides rugged protection for HMI devices against environmental conditions.”

The new Stahlin SolarShield Opaque and Clear HMI Covers offer the most innovative, durable, non-metallic HMI protection solution for use with all enclosure material types. The opaque covers are ideal for protecting HMI Screens from UV and harsh environmental conditions and are the industry’s only non-metallic HMI covers with side shields.

Stahlin SolarShield HMI Clear and Opaque Covers fit standard 8” and smaller HMI screens and maintain NEMA 4X rating of the enclosure when paired with a NEMA 4X HMI device. These universal covers can be used with either non-metallic or metallic enclosures.

Stahlin SolarShield HMI Clear and Opaque Covers perform reliably in demanding applications in non-hazardous industrial and commercial markets including industries such as oil and gas, equipment manufacturing, industrial machines, water/wastewater, marine, and food and beverage.

Extremely tough and durable, Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers can be used in both outdoor and indoor applications. They provide superior protection of Human Interface (HMI) screens from the sun*, dust, water (rain, sleet, snow), sand, flames, oils, chemicals, grease, dirt, foreign objects, and other environmental conditions that cause corrosion and damage.

Among the many performance benefits of Stahlin SolarShield Clear and Opaque HMI Covers:

  • Simple and functional: they are easy to use. A hinged design includes supporting inner doors for hands-free use and better visibility of the HMI screen in the sun*.
  • Superior Protection: Maintains NEMA 4 and 4X rating when paired with a NEMA 4 or 4X HMI device. Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers protect HMI screens and electrical equipment from corrosion and damage due to UV*, oils, dirt, and sand and greatly reduce equipment replacement cost.
  • Strength: Impact resistant but light-weight polycarbonate cover and base construction with UV inhibitors provide long dependable life in harsh conditions.
  • Reliable sealing featuring a robotically applied foam-in-place seamless polyurethane gasket.

Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers come with stainless steel hardware kit included and are padlock-able for increased security. Installation is simple and easy with the use of common tools.

Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers maintain UL’s best rating: an “f1” per UL 746C (resin has passed tests for UV exposure and water immersion). They also conform to the following standards: cURus Listed, UL50e, UL508A, Type 1, 3R, 4, 4X, 12. They provide an Operating Temperature Rating of -40°F to +248°F (-40°C to +120°C) and are Outdoor UV Exposure (UL 746C) (f1) Rated.

Stahlin® Enclosures offers the most extensive selection of non-metallic enclosures available for meeting the needs of diverse industries, delivering time- and labor-saving solutions, non-stop innovation, and superior product performance in interior and exterior applications.

*Clear version does not contain inner doors, or offer additional protection from UV.
