Product Information

Full details

The Rittal SK Ventilation Plate (3238080) is designed for users needing to add ventilation to Rittal cabinets or lecterns with specific dimensions (250mm construction width/depth). Its key benefit is providing enhanced environmental protection with an IP56 rating, ensuring dust and water resistance. A potential caveat is its specific fitment requirements, making it unsuitable for cabinets outside the specified construction width and depth.

FAQs

What does IP56 mean?

IP56 indicates a high level of protection. '5' means protection against dust ingress (limited dust entering). '6' means protection against powerful water jets, so it can withstand direct water spray.

Is this plate a fan unit?

No, this is a ventilation plate that serves as a cover. It is designed to be integrated with separate fan units and filter mats to create a complete ventilation system.

Can I use this on a non-Rittal cabinet?

While possible with modifications, it is specifically designed and tested for Rittal cabinets with 250mm construction width and depth. Using it on incompatible enclosures may compromise the IP rating and fit.

What are the exact dimensions of the plate itself?

The plate has a width of 176mm, a height of 245mm, and a depth of 55mm. Its overall diameter is 245mm.

Does the plate come with mounting hardware?

The product description does not specify included mounting hardware. It is recommended to check the product packaging or consult the supplier for details. Screws are typically secured to the cabinet itself.

What is the surface finish?

The surface finish is untreated stainless steel.

How do I clean the ventilation plate?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the stainless steel or its protective properties.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not fit cabinet.

Verify that the cabinet has a construction width and depth of exactly 250mm. Ensure you are attempting to mount it on a compatible Rittal enclosure model.

Gaps observed around the mounted plate.

Check that mounting screws are tightened evenly and securely. Ensure the cabinet mounting surface is flat and free from obstructions. Re-align the plate and ensure it sits flush before tightening.

Reduced ventilation efficiency.

This plate is often part of a ventilation system. Ensure it is used in conjunction with appropriate fan units or filter mats (sold separately) and that these components are clean and functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Align the ventilation plate with the mounting points on the cabinet's top or designated area.
