Does AD offer support arms with any of their enclosures? What I really need is an enclosure for a 6 " HMI mounted to a support arm. Since this is an outdoor application, the HMI must be behind the enclosure door, and not clear as it will be in sunlight and must remain protected. Ventilation I can handle with a small fan and filtered intake or exhaust. Any links appreciated!

I don't see that AD offers a swing arm. I saw a guy build one. He bent a piece of 1-1/4 conduit and used a threaded "Myers " hub to attach to the enclosure.
I build for an outdoor unit for grain bin fan control. I used part # RHC121206 box. (Nema 3). I mounted the device thru a back panel, and attached the panel to the front of the box with piano hinge and a couple of brackets. Normal operation has the cover snapped closed, keeping the display out of the weather.
I could E-mail some pics.

Thanks for the reply. I found a few vendors but very spendy.
