FAQs
EF8042 is offered as a kit or pre-assembled enclosure, designed to fit AM2 cabinets and IS2 automation enclosures. Use the four fixed cable entry flanges for IP55 protection and align mounting holes to the cabinet chassis for a secure, vibration-resistant installation. This approach minimizes field wiring impedance and speeds up commissioning.
The enclosure measures 800 mm in width, 1400 mm in height, and 400 mm in depth, with a product net weight of 2.570 kg. Made from galvanized steel, it provides rigidity and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. EF8042 is specifically designed for AM2 cabinets and IS2 enclosures for automation, offering a compatible mounting profile, adjustable heights within the reference range, and reliable cable management options for automation control boards.
EF8042 includes a CE Declaration of Conformity and RoHS compliance, along with a REACH declaration. It is designed to meet IS2 environment documentation and WEEE considerations, supporting regulatory and environmental requirements in manufacturing and automation projects.
The galvanized steel construction reduces corrosion-related maintenance, and the IP55 cable-entry option lowers ingress-related risks. KIT or pre-assembled mounting shortens installation time, delivering faster time-to-operational status and lower total cost of ownership over the enclosure’s lifetime.
