FAQs
Installation starts with aligning the four base/plinth corner pieces at the enclosure corners and securing the front/rear trim panels. The kit includes four corner covers and assembly parts to simplify attachment, ensuring a square, stable base. This minimizes cabinet wobble and speeds up setup, even in multi-enclosure configurations.
UL Type 1 rating indicates suitability for general indoor use in non-hazardous environments, ensuring basic enclosure integrity for light-duty applications. For VX installations, this supports compliant, safe mounting of components within typical industrial control panels, though higher IP or safety ratings may be required for harsher environments.
VX 8660.009 is designed to fit VX family enclosures with a width of 1,800 mm. It is compatible with VX, VX IT, VX SE, TX CableNet, TS, TS IT, TP, PC, IW, and CX variants, provided the enclosure width matches 1,800 mm. The accessory sits at a 100 mm base height to align with standard VX plinths.
The base/plinth corner pieces are made from sheet steel for durability, with sheet steel trim panels on the front and rear, and plastic corner/baying covers. The finish is RAL 9005 black, providing corrosion resistance and a uniform appearance across the base of the enclosure lineup.
Yes. Each pack has a PCF of 36.4 kg CO2 equivalent (Category B), reflecting its cradle-to-gate environmental footprint. This data supports sustainability reporting and green procurement. Coupled with faster installation and improved stability, the accessory can reduce installation time and post-install downtime, boosting overall return on investment.
