Highly Visible, All Weather, Climate Controlled AED Enclosures

The main focus of The Aliver Foundation is to increase the number of AEDs in outdoor recreation spaces.

Before starting our 501(c)(3) organization, we researched and realized the majority of individuals and organizations were focused on ensuring AEDs were placed in schools, businesses, and other indoor facilities, as well as at sporting events and practices. While these places are obviously so important, our founder’s cardiac arrest happened in a public recreation space where there was no AED accessible to bystanders. We noticed that while you can sometimes find an AED in an outdoor space, the large majority of the enclosures that are supposed to keep the equipment safe and accessible are not all weather, climate controlled, or easy to spot. We believe this is something that needs to be made a priority along. Why bother if you’re not going to put the best equipment out there?

We spent over a year researching outdoor AED equipment along side professional first responders, emergency management officials, cardiac care unit doctors and nurses before launching The Aliver Foundation in January 2024. The unanimous recommendation was the CE-TEK 4000 Outdoor AED Enclosure for a multitude of reasons, some of which are outlined below. We continue to converse about the outdoor enclosures on the market on a regular basis. 

Please scroll down to see the specs of the CE-TEK 4000 Outdoor AED Enclosure which, depending on your community’s needs and set-up, can feature secure access (dial 9-1-1 to get the keypad’s code) or open access with no keypad.

Please mail info@thealiverfoundation.org if we can help your community.

The CE-TEK 4000 outdoor AED enclosures we donate are keypad secured for a reason and it’s probably not the one you think.

Yes, being tamper proof is important. But that keypad ensures 9-1-1 is called first, activating the chain of survival.

The 9-1-1 operator provides the access code and stays on the line.

That call ensures:
✅ Emergency responders are immediately dispatched
✅ The caller receives calm, step-by-step instructions
✅ CPR can begin without delay
✅The AED is used as part of a coordinated rescue response (remember, not all heart rhythms are shockable)

If no one calls, professional help can’t arrive.

The bright yellow CE-TEK 4000 enclosures we donate are designed to be seen.

In a cardiac emergency, bystanders are panicked, rushed, and scanning for help. Yellow is one of the most visible colors to the human eye, making the AED easier to spot and less likely to blend into the background.

This bright yellow enclosure:
✅ Stands out instantly in outdoor environments
✅ Is visible in sun, shade, rain, and low light
✅ Has AED clearly marked in red on both sides
✅Is softly illuminated inside, creating a visible glow through the front window

No guessing. No hesitation. Just action.
You can’t use an AED you can’t find. Visibility matters.

The CE-TEK 4000 outdoor AED enclosures we donate carry an IP66 rating, earned through rigorous testing, ensuring the AED inside is protected and ready to use.

Yes, outdoor placement matters. But not all AED enclosures are built to the same standard. An IP66 rating represents excellent protection, making this enclosure superior for real-world outdoor environments.

Exposure to cold, heat, rain, snow, wind, dust, and debris doesn’t just affect the enclosure. It can damage AED pads and batteries, causing lifesaving equipment to fail when it’s needed most.

This IP66-rated enclosure:
✅ Is completely sealed against dust
✅ Is tested to withstand powerful, wind-driven water
✅ Protects pads from drying out, freezing, or degrading
✅ Ensures batteries remain reliable despite weather conditions

When a cardiac emergency happens, the AED inside must be ready.

CE-TEK 4000 Outdoor AED Enclosure

Protects AED from direct sunlight, cold temperatures, moisture, dust, tamper, and theft while ensuring 24/7 Public Access to Defibrillation.

Manufactured from a durable polycarbonate, boasts an IP-66 rating against dust and water intrusion.

A thermostat controlled heater inside the enclosure ensures that AED pads and emergency medication remain at safe operating temperatures regardless of the environment outside.

To access lifesaving equipment, bystanders call 911 to receive the access code to open the enclosure.

Unlocked enclosures are also available.
