19. A method of installing an electronics enclosure comprising:
-
providing a mounting bracket adapted to mount to an electronics housing comprising a plurality of electronic components and a heat absorption module acting as a heat sink;
when the electronics housing is subject to solar loading, mounting the heat absorption module to the mounting bracket;
when the electronics housing is subject to solar loading, mounting the electronics housing to the heat absorption module such that the heat absorption module is disposed between the mounting bracket and the electronics housing; and
when the electronics housing is not subject to solar loading, mounting the electronics housing directly to mounting bracket without the heat absorption module. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
