Product description
VX Isolator door cover, WHD 103x1800x400 mm
UL 50E Type 1 compliance establishes regulatory alignment for safety-related enclosure use, enabling consistent master-switch isolation across critical panels and reducing compliance risk in audits. Business impact: improved operational safety, faster validation cycles, and predictable protection for control components. Application: VX series enclosures in industrial environments where UL-rated isolation is required and where actuator levers from major vendors are used. IP55 protection combined with NEMA 12 compatibility ensures enclosure integrity against dust and moisture, extending service life and reducing maintenance downtime in harsh production floors. Material and finish use 1.5 mm sheet steel with a powder-coated surface in RAL 7035, delivering a durable, corrosion-resistant exterior that maintains aesthetic consistency in lifecycle operations. This translates to lower replacement costs and easier field maintenance, especially in multi-brand installations. Included supply—main door lock, cover plate, and assembly parts—shortens install time and minimizes sourcing steps, supporting faster line readiness. Compatibility with master-switch actuators from Allen-Bradley, Square D, GE, Eaton, and Siemens reduces integration risk and simplifies retrofits. Mounting requirements specify single-door enclosures with tubular door frames, reducing misapplication risks and ensuring correct fitment on standard VX frames.
