FAQs
The SE 5850.680 ships with a mounting plate (499x1496 mm) and two punched rails (18x39 mm) to align with VX SE and VX25 baying. Install the rear panel, attach the mounting plate, and mount with the door hinged on the desired side (right by default, left swap possible). Use metal multi-tooth screws 2486.400 for interior mounting due to the material hardness, and verify IP66/NEMA 4X seals after assembly to maintain protection.
The enclosure offers IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, protecting against dust, water ingress, and corrosion in wash-down zones. It uses stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) for the enclosure, door, and rear panel with brushed finishes, delivering high durability. These ratings support reliable operation in chemical plants, food processing, and outdoor installations where frequent cleaning occurs.
Yes. The SE 5850.680 carries UL 50E Type 1 guidance and IK10 impact resistance, ensuring compliance for indoor electrical enclosures and protection against mechanical shocks. This combination supports safe installation in automated classrooms, laboratories, and industrial plants while maintaining structural integrity during service life.
The mounting plate is 499 mm wide by 1,496 mm high, designed to align with the 600x1600x400 mm enclosure footprint. The door is mounted on the right by default and can be swapped to the left, providing installation flexibility to suit equipment layout and cable routing in cramped or modular installations.
Durable 1.4301 stainless steel and IP66/NEMA 4X protection deliver long-term resistance to corrosion and ingress, reducing maintenance intervals. The design supports VX SE/VX25 system integration for scalable automation, and the heavy-duty construction minimizes replacement frequency in harsh environments, yielding lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
