Overview

The nVent MCU2105R5 is a steel top frame designed for enclosures, measuring 200x1000x500mm and finished in light gray. This accessory provides additional vertical space at the top of an enclosure, allowing for better cable management and component organization. A key benefit of the MCU2105R5 is its ability to segregate components or cabling within the enclosure's top section, enhancing system clarity and maintenance accessibility. It features a universal hole pattern, which significantly simplifies the mounting of various accessories. This design ensures flexibility and ease of customization for different industrial applications. Manufactured by nVent, this frame (SKU: MCU2105R5) is constructed from durable steel, ensuring structural integrity and longevity in demanding environments. Its dimensions of 200mm height, 1000mm width, and 500mm depth make it suitable for a range of enclosure sizes. The light gray color offers a clean, professional aesthetic. The universal hole pattern is a critical design element, enabling quick and secure attachment of compatible mounting hardware and accessories without the need for specialized tools or modifications. This reduces installation time and labor costs.

How to Install and Mount the MCU Unit

This guide provides detailed instructions for the physical installation and mounting of the MCU unit, covering gasket preparation, primary fastening, and optional configurations for wider units or alternative fixation methods.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Torque wrench, Socket set (for M5, M6, M8, M12 fasteners), T25 Torx driver

Supplies needed:

Gasket, M12x20 bolts (4), M12 nuts (4), M8 nuts (4), M8 washers (4), M8x16 bolts (4), M6x12 bolts (6), M6 nuts (4), M5x10 bolts (6), 4.5x8 screws (6), Component K (2), Component L (2), CCI06 brackets (if needed, ordered separately), CNT05 (if needed, ordered separately)

  1. Prepare the MCU Unit Gasket

    Before mounting, ensure the gasket is correctly positioned and firmly fixed outside the corner holes of the MCU unit. This step is crucial for proper sealing and protection.

  2. Install Primary Mounting Fasteners

    Begin by securing the main mounting points using four M12x20 bolts (Ref. A) and four M12 nuts (Ref. B). Tighten these connections with a torque wrench to 10-15Nm. Next, install four M8x16 bolts (Ref. E) with four M8 nuts (Ref. C) and four M8 washers (Ref. D), applying a torque of 8-10Nm.

  3. Secure Auxiliary and Panel Fasteners

    Fasten the two M6x12 bolts (Ref. F from the A-G section) and tighten them to a torque of 15-20Nm. Then, install and secure the six 4.5x8 screws (Ref. G) with a torque of 4-5Nm to complete the main unit's primary attachment.

  4. Install Wide Unit Reinforcement (Optional)

    If your MCU unit is 1000mm or wider, install the additional components as shown in the H-L diagram. Secure six M5x10 bolts (Ref. H) and four M6x12 bolts (Ref. F from H-L section) with four M6 nuts (Ref. J). Tighten all these fasteners to a torque of 4-5Nm. Also, attach components K (2 pcs) and L (2 pcs) as depicted.

  5. Apply Alternative Fixation (Optional)

    As an alternative fixation method, use the CNT05 brackets (to be ordered separately) and secure them with T25 screws. Tighten these screws to a torque of 4.5-5Nm as depicted in the alternative fixation diagram.
