FAQs

What material is the Rittal KX 1562.000 enclosure made from?

The enclosure is constructed from AISI 304 (1.4301) grade stainless steel.

What does the IP66 rating mean?

IP66 means the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Does the enclosure come with a mounting plate?

No, the Rittal KX 1562.000 is supplied without a mounting plate and gland plates, allowing for flexible custom configurations.

What are the exact dimensions of the enclosure?

The enclosure measures 200 mm in width, 200 mm in height, and 80 mm in depth.

Can I install this enclosure outdoors?

Yes, due to its stainless steel construction and IP66 rating, it is suitable for many outdoor applications, provided it is mounted correctly and protected from extreme conditions beyond its rating.

How do I create cable entries?

Cable entries are typically made through a gland plate, which needs to be purchased or fabricated separately and installed by the user.

What is the weight of the enclosure?

The enclosure weighs approximately 1.8 kg.

Troubleshooting

Enclosure door does not close or lock properly.

Check for any obstructions inside the enclosure or on the door seal. Ensure the internal mounting plate or components are not protruding and interfering with the door closure. Verify the lock mechanism is functioning correctly.

Water ingress detected inside the enclosure.

Inspect all cable entry points, gland plates, and the door seal for any breaches. Tighten or replace seals as necessary. Ensure the enclosure was installed correctly and is not subjected to water pressure exceeding its IP66 rating.

Surface corrosion or discoloration on the stainless steel.

Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water. For minor imperfections, a stainless steel polish can be used. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive pads that can cause further scratching.

Difficulty installing custom mounting plate.

Ensure the mounting plate is designed to fit within the internal dimensions of the enclosure and that mounting points are correctly aligned. Consult the enclosure's technical specifications for internal clearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to corrosion and harsh elements due to stainless steel.
  • Excellent protection against dust and water ingress with IP66 rating.
  • Compact size is ideal for installations with limited space.
  • Lockable door ensures the security of internal electrical components.
  • Customizable internal configuration due to the absence of pre-installed plates.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase or fabrication of gland plates and mounting plates.
  • Limited internal space may not accommodate large components.
  • Stainless steel can be more expensive than other enclosure materials.
  • Weight, though manageable, should be considered for wall mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the required internal layout, including the placement of any custom mounting plate and cable entries.
  2. If using a mounting plate, secure it within the enclosure according to your design. Ensure it is compatible with the enclosure's internal dimensions.
  3. If required, install a gland plate at the desired location (top, bottom, or sides) and create necessary cable entry points.
  4. Mount the enclosure securely to a stable wall using appropriate fixings, ensuring it is level and can support the weight of the enclosure and its contents.

Compatibility:

  • This enclosure is designed for general-purpose electrical and electronic equipment. Specific component compatibility depends on the internal dimensions and the user-created mounting solutions.
  • Ensure any internal components or mounting plates are suitable for use in an IP66 environment.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Periodically check the door seal for damage and ensure it maintains a tight fit to preserve the IP66 rating.
  • Inspect cable entries and gland plates for integrity and ensure they are properly sealed.
