SES WHT1A, T1A WEATHER HOOD
The SES WHT1A is the non-lighted weather hood accessory used with compatible TEC1A telephone entry installations. It is installed around the entry panel to help reduce direct weather exposure to the front face of the unit, especially in stand-alone outdoor locations where rain, sun, and wind-driven moisture can hit the panel directly.
This item is a protective mounting accessory, not an electronic repair part. It does not include the TEC1A telephone entry unit, keypad, LCD display, control board, back box, pedestal, reader, or communication module. It should be selected by cabinet style and mounting layout.
Weather hoods are commonly reviewed when a TEC1A is installed outdoors on a wall, column, post, or pedestal and does not have enough building overhang. The non-lighted version should be kept separate from the WHLT1A lighted weather hood, which adds illumination for low-light visitor use.

Technician Note
Use the weather hood to reduce direct exposure, but do not rely on it to correct a poorly sealed, improperly grounded, or incorrectly mounted telephone entry installation.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not confuse WHT1A with WHLT1A; WHLT1A is the lighted version.
- Confirm cabinet style before ordering because TEC1, TEC1A, TEC2, CAT, and other SES panels may use different mounting accessories.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the entry unit is a compatible TEC1A/T1A style panel.
- Confirm non-lighted hood is desired instead of the lighted WHLT1A.
- Measure wall, column, pedestal, and visitor clearance.
- Check for existing trim frames, back boxes, or pedestal adapters.
- Review weather exposure and whether additional sealing or mounting correction is needed.
Professional Advisory
Outdoor telephone entry hardware should be installed with proper sealing, grounding, and drainage. A weather hood helps shield the panel but does not replace correct low-voltage installation practices.
Product Questions & Answers
Is WHT1A a complete TEC1A unit?
No. It is a non-lighted weather hood accessory only.
What is the difference between WHT1A and WHLT1A?
WHT1A is the non-lighted hood. WHLT1A is the related lighted weather hood.
Can it be used on any SES telephone entry panel?
No. It should be matched to compatible TEC1A/T1A style cabinet and mounting requirements.
Why add a weather hood?
A hood helps reduce direct rain and sun exposure on outdoor entry panels, especially where there is no building overhang.
Does it waterproof the unit?
No. It helps shield the unit, but correct sealing, grounding, and proper installation are still required.
