Modern protection against the elements

14 June 2006 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Highly sensitive electronics systems such as those needed for mobile telephony, data transmission or instrumentation require all-round protection against the elements when used outdoors. Additionally, high levels of corrosion protection, stability and flexibility are a must.

Rittal has developed the Toptec CR, a new twin-walled enclosure system that it says meets all these requirements. The manufacturer has made this possible by using an intelligent mix of materials - stainless steel, galvanised and zinc phosphated sheet steel, and aluminium.

The twin-walled, fully pre-configured outdoor enclosure consists of a basic stainless steel frame with the company's TS 8 vertical sections, roof and integrated base/plinth group. The completely welded enclosure body ensures high EMC values. Front and rear doors and side panels are made of galvanised and zinc phosphated sheet steel and, with the outer aluminium roof, comprise a tough and stable outdoor enclosure. The vented rain canopy roof design ensures optimum air circulation. Standardised climate control systems are well integrated.

The front and rear doors are each equipped with a swivel handle and semi-cylinder lock with a security locking mechanism, offering a high degree of protection against unauthorised entry.

The Rittal Toptec CR is available in widths of 600 and 800 mm, heights of 1200 and 1600 mm, and with a depth of 600 mm.
