Rittal 8620501 VX trim panel, top hinged, W x H: 800x300 content_copy

The Rittal VX 8620.501 is a top-hinged panel made of steel sheet with a thickness of 2 mm, specifically designed for the installation of control and display elements in enclosures. It is part of a modular front design and is used in conjunction with protective bars to enable a structured and secure operating surface. The panel has a height of 300 mm and is designed for enclosures with a width of 800 mm. The surface is coated with a textured paint in the colour RAL 7035, providing a robust and uniform appearance. The protection class IP 54 in accordance with IEC 60 529 ensures protection against dust and splashing water, making the panel suitable for use in industrial environments.

Applications
The panel is suitable for installations where a clear and accessible operating surface is required, for example in manufacturing automation, process control or power supply. It is mounted in enclosures equipped with a modular front design to securely and neatly integrate operating elements such as pushbuttons, indicators or small control panels. The top-hinged construction allows for easy opening and maintenance of the front side without having to remove the entire enclosure front.

Functions and equipment in detail
The panel is supplied with hinges, a catch lock with a 3 mm double-barrel lock insert, and the necessary mounting hardware. The catch lock ensures secure latching of the panel, with the double-barrel lock insert providing additional security. Installation is carried out directly onto the enclosure front, where the panel fits exactly into the designated openings. The use of steel sheet with a thickness of 2 mm ensures high mechanical stability and durability.

Technology explained simply
The protection class IP 54 means that the panel is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions. This makes it suitable for use in production halls, workshops or other industrial environments where some contamination or moisture may occur. The textured paint provides a uniform surface that is scratch- and abrasion-resistant and offers a professional appearance. The top-hinged construction allows for convenient operation and maintenance, as the panel can be folded upwards without affecting other components in the enclosure.

Compatibility and accessories
The panel is specifically designed for enclosures with a width of 800 mm. As accessories, various lock inserts made of zinc die-cast with a length of 27 mm are available, enabling additional securing. Also, handles such as the plastic handle AX/KX No. 3524E with safety cylinder or other models like AX 2533100 or AX 2577010 can be used additionally to facilitate operation. A stand for the panel, top-hinged, is also available to support installation.

Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out by fastening the panel to the enclosure front using the hinges and mounting hardware included in the delivery. The top-hinged construction requires no additional tools or mounting aids, as the panel fits directly into the designated openings. The hinges and catch lock are pre-mounted, simplifying installation. The panel is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing modular front systems.

Advantages in operation
The panel provides a clear and structured operating surface, facilitating maintenance and operation of enclosures. The IP 54 protection class ensures high reliability in industrial environments. The top-hinged construction allows for quick and easy access to operating elements without having to remove the entire front. The use of steel sheet with a thickness of 2 mm ensures high mechanical strength and durability. The integrated security provided by the catch lock with double-barrel lock insert increases the safety of the installation.

The panel is part of the Rittal VX system and is used in conjunction with modular front designs and protective bars to create a professional and secure operating surface. The colour RAL 7035 offers a neutral, industrial-looking appearance that fits well in various application environments. Delivery includes all necessary mounting components, including hinges, lock and fastening material, so no additional parts are required.
