FAQs
To install the VX 8165.245 Side Panel, confirm VX enclosure compatibility with a height of 1600 mm and depth of 500 mm. Use the provided clip-in side panel holder for quick alignment, and verify that assembly parts are included in the two-pack. Typical steps involve aligning the panel, securing via clip-in mechanism, and performing a final check for fit and seal integrity.
Durability comes from 1.5 mm sheet steel with a dip coat-primed base and a powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035. This construction provides rigidity, resistance to corrosion, and a consistent finish. The IP 55 protection rating adds dust and water ingress protection, making it suitable for semi-exposed or damp plant areas.
Yes, the VX 8165.245 Side Panel is rated UL 50E Type 1, indicating suitability for electrical enclosures used in light to moderate indoor environments. This supports safer operation in control cabinets and automation panels, while helping with procurement and regulatory paperwork. The panel ships in packs of two with all necessary assembly parts.
IP 55 protects against limited dust ingress and water spray, reducing the risk of contamination and corrosion inside VX enclosures. This translates to lower cleaning and maintenance frequency, improved uptime, and safer electrical connections in typical factory floors and damp environments.
Plan for a two-pack with included assembly parts to streamline stocking and installation. Consider the VX enclosure dimensions (1600x500 mm) to ensure a precise fit, and factor in the clip-in holder advantages for faster assembly. The standard color and coating simplify downstream maintenance and replacement parts alignment.
