Rittal VX 5302.037 Kit - Frame Conversion, IP Note

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The kit includes four internal connection components and four external connection components, enabling a modular transition without altering the frame’s external footprint, which reduces the risk of misfit issues during retrofits and accelerates commissioning of new configurations for VX IT frame installations. This directly translates to measurable downtime reduction and a faster time-to-value for automation projects. Application-wise, technicians can convert VX IT frames on-site to a dismantlable rack suitable for future component changes in control cabinets or modular enclosures, maintaining existing space planning while increasing flexibility. Feature → Business Impact → Application: An earth strap and complete assembly parts simplify grounding and assembly, minimizing field errors and warranty concerns while ensuring robust electrical integrity; your installation remains compliant with industry grounding practices and reduces post-install adjustments. This is particularly beneficial in high-availability environments where uptime is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The kit preserves external frame dimensions even after conversion, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with existing mounting rails and backplanes; installers avoid costly rework or cabinet redesigns. It’s ideal for retrofit projects in automation cells where enclosure footprint must stay constant. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Pack size of 1 and a documented weight of 1.227 kg per pack supports lean stocking, predictable logistics, and straightforward replenishment for maintenance teams, improving procurement efficiency and reducing carrying costs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance-friendly documentation (ETIM, ECLASS) and explicit notes on IP protection limitations help design engineers document risk and ensure traceability in regulatory audits, while enabling safer, standards-aligned installations.
