The Rittal VX 8620.502 is a top-hinged trim panel for enclosures of the VX system, designed for the installation of control and display elements. It is used in conjunction with modular front design and protective bars to create a structured and secure operating surface. The panel has a height of 300 mm and is designed for enclosures with a width of 1,200 mm. Its material consists of steel sheet with a thickness of 2 mm, coated with a textured paint in the colour RAL 7035, ensuring a robust and uniform surface.

Applications

The panel is suitable for industrial applications where secure and accessible operation of control and display units is required. It is commonly used in enclosures for machine controls, automation systems, or process control technology. The top-hinged construction allows convenient opening and maintenance of the front side without having to remove the entire enclosure front. The protection rating IP 54 according to IEC 60 529 protects against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for environments with moderate ambient risks.

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, preventing unauthorized access to the control elements. The double-barrel lock inserts are made of zinc die-cast and offer high mechanical stability. Mounting is carried out using the included mounting materials, enabling a secure connection to the enclosure front.

Technology Explained Simply

The use of 2 mm thick steel sheet ensures sufficient mechanical strength to withstand industrial operating loads. The textured paint in RAL 7035 not only provides a uniform visual appearance but also protects against corrosion and mechanical stress. The protection rating IP 54 means the panel is dust-tight and protected against splashing water, making it suitable for use in production environments where direct moisture or high dust loads are not present.

Compatibility and Accessories

The panel is specifically designed for enclosures with a width of 1,200 mm. As accessories, various lock inserts made of zinc die-cast with a length of 27 mm are available, allowing individual adjustment of the security function. Additionally, handles such as SZ 2577000 or AX 2533100, as well as AX 2577010, can be used to facilitate operation. A stand for the panel, top-hinged, is also available to support installation.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is carried out by securing the panel to the enclosure front using the included mounting hardware. The hinges are already integrated, so the panel can be opened and closed easily after installation. The pre-drilled holes and precise fit ensure accurate alignment and a secure fit.

Operational Advantages

The top-hinged construction enables quick and easy access to the control elements, simplifying maintenance and servicing. The integrated security latch protects against unauthorized access, while the robust material construction ensures long service life under industrial conditions. The modular design allows flexible adaptation to different requirements for the operating surface.
