<DIV><SPAN class=622193100-03102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a DWL-900AP+
in a box, up a pole on the roof. I have also put a couple of temperature sensors
(DS1820) in the box. One is near the regulated power supply (and so it gets
a little warm) and one is near the at the bottom of the box. The problem I can
see coming this summer is that when the sun hits the box the temperature inside
is going to get rather high. It has already got as high as 42 degrees C while
the outside air temp is only around 17 C.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=622193100-03102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>When summer comes
and the air temp is over 30, what is it going to be like in the box? The
DWL-900AP+ is rated to work up to 55 C (I think), but I don't really feel like
seeing how hot it can get before it shuts down. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
