FAQs
Begin by aligning the base/plinth corner pieces with the enclosure feet, ensuring a flat, level surface. Attach the 4 corner covers and mount the front/rear trim panels as indicated, then secure with standard fasteners. The included assembly parts simplify alignment and reduce on-site adjustments, and the 200 mm height fits VX, VX IT, and VX SE cabinets for consistent panel gaps and cable entry access.
The base/plinth corner pieces enhance stability at the cabinet base, minimizing movement under vibration and thermal cycling. This reduces cable strain and maintains orderly cable entry, which in turn lowers the risk of connector loosening and intermittent faults. Built from sheet steel with plastic covers, it combines rigidity with impact resistance suitable for production lines and polling stations.
Yes. VX 8660.020 is designed for VX, VX IT, VX SE, TX CableNet, TS, TS IT, TP, PC, IW and CX enclosure families, with a 300 mm width to fit standard VX chassis footprints. Its modular trim panels and corner pieces allow consistent interior configuration and straightforward retrofits, supporting uniform cable management across mixed cabinet fleets.
The product features a UL 50E Type 1 rating for safe, code-compliant base construction. It also aligns with ETIM 9 EC000721 and ETIM 8 EC000721 classifications and is represented in ECLASS 8.0 27182003, aiding procurement data exchanges and supplier qualification workflows.
The 200 mm high, 300 mm wide base/plinth design improves overall enclosure stability, reducing vibration-related wear and simplifying future service visits. With included assembly parts and a robust sheet-steel construction, the kit supports longer cabinet life, lower maintenance downtime, and more predictable replacement planning for large-scale installations.
