Take your Bond Bridge Pro outdoors.
Expand the possibilities of your smart outdoor living spaces with Bond Shield Pro. Specifically designed for the Bond Bridge Pro, this professional weatherproof enclosure allows you to install your bridge closer to outdoor motorized shades, pergolas, louvers, and screens while protecting it from the elements.
Professional protection for smarter outdoor control.
The Bond Shield Pro Outdoor Enclosure Kit provides a purpose-built weatherproof mounting solution for the Bond Bridge Pro (BD-1750).
Designed for professional outdoor installations, Shield Pro allows the Bond Bridge Pro to be positioned closer to compatible motorized outdoor equipment, including retractable screens, pergola louvers, and motorized shades.
By providing a protected outdoor installation location, Shield Pro gives integrators greater flexibility when designing wireless control systems for patios, pergolas, outdoor entertainment areas, and other connected exterior spaces.
Bring your bridge closer to the action.
Outdoor motorized systems can be located beyond the ideal operating range of an indoor wireless controller. Shield Pro provides an installation option that allows the Bond Bridge Pro to be positioned closer to supported outdoor devices.
Mount the protected bridge near a pergola, covered patio, or other suitable sheltered outdoor location to support communication with compatible motorized screens, louvers, and shades.
This flexibility can simplify professional system design by allowing installers to choose a location based on wireless coverage, network availability, and the requirements of the connected outdoor equipment.
Built to protect. Designed to perform.
Shield Pro features a weatherproof enclosure designed to protect a properly installed Bond Bridge Pro in suitable outdoor environments.
The enclosure carries IP67 and IP68 ratings and is UL-recognized for NEMA 3R, 4, and 4X applications.
Its construction incorporates weatherproof cable glands and a pressure-compensating sealing system to help protect the enclosed equipment from moisture and environmental contamination.
For proper operation and long-term reliability, Shield Pro must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Protection without a metal barrier.
Shield Pro uses nonmetallic enclosure materials to help preserve the radio-frequency communication capabilities of the Bond Bridge Pro.
Unlike metal enclosures that can significantly attenuate wireless signals, Shield Pro's plastic and nylon construction is designed to avoid introducing a metal RF barrier around the bridge.
This makes the enclosure well suited for installations where reliable communication with compatible outdoor motorized equipment is an important design consideration.
Weatherproof connections. Simplified installation.
Shield Pro includes two split cable glands that allow installers to route compatible cables into the enclosure without cutting power cords or crimping new Ethernet connectors.
For installations using only Power over Ethernet, a single cable gland can be used. Applications requiring both Ethernet and the Bond Bridge Pro's 5V power connection can utilize two cable glands.
Preplanned knockout locations, included mounting brackets, and weatherproof sealing components help create a professional installation while reducing unnecessary cable preparation.
Engineered for changing outdoor conditions.
The Shield Pro enclosure incorporates a pressure-compensating seal designed to help maintain protection as outdoor environmental conditions change.
An integrated sealing ring supports a liquid-tight fit, while an ultrasonically welded filter membrane helps prevent moisture and contamination from entering the enclosure.
These protective elements work together with the enclosure and weatherproof cable glands to support the manufacturer's specified environmental ratings when installed correctly.
Designed for the connected outdoors.
Shield Pro is an ideal accessory for professionally designed outdoor automation systems using the Bond Bridge Pro.
Position the bridge closer to compatible motorized pergola louvers, retractable outdoor screens, motorized shades, and other supported wireless-controlled outdoor equipment.
Whether you're designing a new outdoor entertainment area or expanding an existing smart-home system, Shield Pro provides a weatherproof installation option that supports a more flexible Bond Bridge Pro deployment.
