General characteristics of the
floor-standing enclosure
● Indoor or outdoor use.
● 4 versions:
– Completely sealed enclosure (PLA version).
– Enclosure with ventilated canopy (PLAT version).
– Enclosure with plinth-type open bottom (PLAZ
version).
– Enclosure with plinth-type open bottom and
ventilated canopy (PLAZT version).
– Note: The first letters of the references relate to the
version.
● 40 dimensions:
– 5 heights from 500 to 1500 mm.
– 4 widths: 500 and 750 (1 door), 1000 and 1250 mm
(2 doors).
– 2 depths: 320 and 420 mm.
– Note: The figures included in the references of the
enclosures and products of the range represent the
dimension in dm of the product in question.
– The 2-door enclosures comprise a central upright,
which can be removed in certain conditions. Please
contact us.
● 3 types of door:
– Plain door.
– Door with transparent window (index T at the end of
the reference).
– Door with anti-posting surface (index R at the end of
the reference).
● Protection degree IP 65 or IP 54 according to
standard IEC 60529.
● Impact resistance IK 10 for the plain doors and all
sides and IK 08 for the glazed door.
● 2-point closure for heights of 500 and 750 mm and
4-point closure points for heights ≥ 1000 mm.
Characteristics of the material
The floor-standing enclosures are made from
polyester reinforced with fibreglass, moulded by hot
compression, RAL 7032 grey. This material:
● Is insulating: several kV per mm.
● Can be machined easily.
● Is resistant to corrosion: does not rust and can
withstand many chemical substances.
● Resists bad weather (rain, UV).
● Withstands cold and heat in the range of
–50 °C…+150 °C.
● Does not soften under heat (ball resistance at
+150 °C).
● Is self-extinguishing (does not propagate fire: HB40
classification and self-extinguishing in several
seconds during the glow-wire test at 960 °C during
30 s.).
● Does not contain halogens.
● Releases little smoke and nontoxic smoke in the
case of combustion.
● Is light.
Characteristics of the production
process
The components of the enclosures (the various sides
and doors) are moulded by hot compression: the
pieces have an excellent finish on both sides and can
include numerous bosses for accommodating inserts
and mounting or cable-management accessories.
Complies with enclosure
standard IEC 62208 for:
IP, IK, resistance to heat and fire, insulation 5000 V,
resistance to bad weather and corrosion and
resistance to internal loads (150 kg/m
2
) and loads on
the door (30 kg/m
2
).
Full insulation to create class II
units according to IEC 64139-1
UL certification and NEMA
classification 4X, 5, 12 and 13,
depending on the version
Complies with the RoHS Directive
