  • Description: Front and rear plinth sections. For cabling without any restrictions and in accordance with the VDE 0113 standard. The plinth consists of four corner pieces with removable front covers. The side panels PS are to be ordered separately. Produce
  • Material: Corner pieces in 2 mm and panels in 1.5 mm mild steel.
  • Finish: RAL 7022 structured powder coating.
  • Pack quantity: 1 set of 4 corner pieces including covers. Front and rear panel (2 rear panels for 200 mm high plinths) with mounting accessories. Mounting accessories for side panels PS or transversal profiles PCP.
  • Mounting requirements: Add the side panels PS for a complete plinth. When combining enclosures it is recommended to add transversal panels PCP for cable duct support and extra rigidity.
  • Benefit: the plinth allows enclosures to be fixed to the floor without the need for interior access
  • Comment: the front and rear plinth PF, must be mounted along with side panels PS; if creating an enclosure system with multiple enclosures, the side panels are required to be mounted at the beginning and end only
  • Comment: to reinforce the combined plinths, plinth combining profiles PCP/PCPK, should be used
  • Mounting requirements: add the side panels PS for a complete plinth; when combining enclosures, it is recommended to add transversal panels PCP for cable duct support and extra rigidity

How to Mechanically Assemble PF/PV/PS 200 Series Components

This guide outlines the mechanical assembly steps for PF/PV/PS 200 series components, focusing on correct fastener identification and torque specifications.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

SW19 wrench, SW8 wrench, T40 Torx driver

Supplies needed:

M12 fasteners, M8x16 fasteners

  1. Secure components with M12 fasteners

    Identify the components requiring M12 fasteners (M12 and M12x20, referenced as A and C in diagrams). Using an SW19 wrench, tighten these fasteners to a torque of 15-20 Nm. Ensure even tightening to prevent component damage.

  2. Secure components with M8x16 fasteners

    Locate the components requiring M8x16 fasteners (referenced as B in diagrams). Using an SW8 wrench, tighten these fasteners to a torque of 10-15 Nm.

  3. Verify all connections

    After tightening all specified fasteners, visually inspect all connections to ensure they are secure and properly seated. Confirm that all torque specifications have been met.
