FAQs
The VX 8004.000 features two front doors hinged on the right by default, with the option to swap to the left side to match site wiring layouts. During installation, align the mounting plate to the enclosure frame, install the rear panel and gland plates, then secure the doors to the hinges. This flexibility reduces the need for additional adapters and speeds up commissioning.
VX 8004.000 provides IP55 protection against dust and water ingress and IK10 impact resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. It also carries NEMA 1 suitability and UL 50E Type 1 compliance for indoor control cabinets. This combination supports reliable operation in manufacturing floors, process lines, and light outdoor use with proper enclosure placement.
Ideal applications include large control cabinets for automated production lines, process automation cells, and machine control housings. Its 1000x2000x400 mm footprint, mounting plate, and two punched rails accommodate substantial control electronics, power supplies, and wiring, while the robust finish reduces maintenance needs in long-term automation deployments.
Key considerations include using the supplied mounting plate (899x1896 mm), leveraging the 18x39 mm punched rails for quick component mounting, and planning gland plate placement for cable management. The door orientation option helps align with site wiring, and the 152 kg per-pack weight informs handling and crane requirements during installation.
