How to use

Place the enclosure on a level surface suitable for its weight and dimensions. Secure the cabinet to the floor or mounting surface if required by site safety rules. Install mounting plates, rails or accessories from the VX25 system to organise internal equipment, then fit switchgear, PLCs, terminal blocks and wiring on the integral mounting levels. Use the screw-fastened rear panel and door for safe and convenient access during installation and maintenance. Ensure cable entries are sealed appropriately to maintain the IP55 rating.

Before installation, verify that ambient conditions meet the enclosure’s IP55 protection requirements and that internal heat-generating components are considered for ventilation or cooling. Use compatible VX25 accessories for best fit and maintain clearances around the cabinet for service access and cable routing.
