LiftMaster CAPXSHOOD-1 Sun Hood for CAPXS Smart Video Intercom-S

The LiftMaster CAPXSHOOD-1 supplier offer is the sun hood for the CAPXS Smart Video Intercom-S, identified by LiftMaster as CAPXSHOOD. It shades the touchscreen to improve visibility when direct sunlight affects the viewing position. This is a model-specific mounting accessory, not a replacement screen or complete intercom. LiftMaster also identifies compatibility with the CAPXSTK trim plate and CAPXSTKPL postal-lock trim plate. Confirm the actual mounting arrangement and available clearance before adding it to an existing entrance.

Compatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions

Check Sun Exposure and Mounting Clearance

A hood can improve visibility by reducing direct sunlight on the display, but the benefit depends on the sun angle and the position from which visitors use the screen. Assess the entrance during the conditions that cause glare. Do not assume a hood will eliminate every reflection or make an incorrectly positioned intercom readable from every approach.

Review the complete mounting layout before purchase, especially where the intercom sits near a wall return, trim panel or other obstruction. The hood must fit without compromising visitor access, camera view or service access. Use the CAPXS accessory instructions for the installed trim arrangement. Do not drill new enclosure openings or modify another model’s hood to approximate the fit.

Specifications and Product Identification

Before Ordering

• Confirm the intercom is CAPXS rather than another CAP-family model.
• Identify any CAPXSTK or CAPXSTKPL trim accessory already installed.
• Check available clearance against the hood dimensions and installation drawing.
• Inspect the existing screen and mounting so a display fault is not mistaken for sunlight glare.

Package Contents and Separate Requirements

This listing identifies the sun hood. The CAPXS intercom, touchscreen, trim plate, postal lock and pedestal are separate products unless expressly included in the supplier’s current offer. Confirm the carton for mounting hardware and use the correct instructions for the installed arrangement. The hood does not add internet connectivity, visitor calling, subscriptions or an electrical weatherproofing upgrade.

Safety Warnings — Read Before Installation or Service

• WARNING: Work around an access-control entrance must not create unsafe door or gate movement. Use a qualified installer when mounting work affects the portal or its wiring.
• Isolate power as directed before opening or disturbing the intercom assembly. Protect the screen and internal connections during fitting.
• Do not obstruct the camera, touchscreen, required access or service points. Preserve the enclosure’s intended seals and mounting method.
• After installation, verify visitor interaction and authorized entry, and confirm the controlled opening’s safety functions remain operational.

Related Products and Important Differences

• KPW250 wireless keypad — a different access method for compatible gate operators; this CAPXS hood is not a keypad cover.
• LMRRUL monitored photo eye — a separate gate-protection component for approved controls; improving screen visibility does not replace safety sensing.
