Materials
All plastic components are manufactured from UL94 V2 rated nylon.
Metal components are manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, accessory
plates are powdercoated or colour coated.
RAL Colours
Grey (GRY) = RAL 7011
Light Grey (LGY) = RAL 7046
Standards
The Cablelink Plus Modular Floorbox supports compliance with the
latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008) and to
BS EN50085 Part 1 and EN50085 Part 2-2. Additionally the floorboxes also
comply with IEC 60670 Parts 1 and 23.
Installation
Cablelink Plus Modular boxes should not be installed in the following
situations:
l
Where protruding electrical cables are likely to cause a safety hazard
l
In passageways, especially where trolleys or other vehicles may be used
l
On escape routes, as this may impede the evacuation of the occupants
from the building
l
Where the cleaning methods employed result in the formation of pools
of liquid or soaking of the floor surface
l
Desks, chairs, shelving, filing cabinets should not be positioned on the
floorbox as this will interfere with opening the lid
Load Testing
Load Testing of Floorboxes to draft pr EN50085 Part 2-2 (Clauses 10.5.103
and 10.5.104).
The floorboxes have been tested to and comply with the loading requirements
of draft pr EN50085 Part 2-2 (Cable trunking systems and cable ducting
systems for electrical installations Part 2-2: Particular requirements for
cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems intended for mounting
underfloor, flushfloor, or onfloor).
There are two loading criteria for the floorboxes - one with a point loading
to replicate foot traffic for example, and the other, with a large plate to
replicate fork trucks and heavier larger loads for example. For both loading
criteria the maximum allowable deflection under load is 6mm and the
maximum permanent deflection after the load has been removed is 3mm.
The loading position is the centre of the lid.
The Lid Deflection (loading) graph shows that the maximum point loading
classification achieved is 3kN and the maximum large plate loading
classification achieved is 5kN.
The Permanent Deflection graph shows the permanent deflection from
the test wheel loading at 3kN is 0.55mm and large plate loading at 5kN is
0.4
mm. This is well within the maximum allowable deflection of 3.0mm.
Note: This test data specifically refers to the 265 x 265mm sized floorbox frame
assembly. The other floorbox sizes also comply with the required test criteria.
Declarations of conformity are available on request for the entire range.
