Modular enclosure accessories improve customisation, scalability

Five accessories to enhance TS 8 enclosure functionality.


Johannesburg, 03 Nov 2017

With 12 million units sold around the globe, the TS 8 modular enclosure is established as the worldwide standard. As businesses grow and enclosure needs evolve, many customers are turning to a variety of accessories to scale their solutions.

These five accessories for lighting, power distribution, viewing and operating, climate control and assembly are the most popular customisations design engineers and facilities managers are utilising to maximise their investments.

1. For lighting: LED Compact Lighting System

The Rittal LED Compact Lighting System is a safe, energy-efficient, extra-low-voltage interior lighting solution that delivers full coverage to all corners of the enclosure.

Enterprise-ready and suitable for voltages ranging from 100V-240V (AC) and 24V (DC), the LED system can be installed tool-free with clips that connect to a latch-in hook pattern - though optional screw fastening is also available. Magnetic installation is another option, for free positioning within the enclosure. Whichever assembly option you choose, motion detectors or door-operated switches for hands-free illumination are also available.

2. For power distribution: RiLine busbar system

In many regions around the world, busbar systems are the predominant solution for managing power needs now, and in the future. For engineers not familiar with the technology, the RiLine copper busbar system provides reliable power distribution and requires less panel modification, contact points, and wiring work. Busbar systems save space and time for panel builders and offer more contact hazard protection than other cable management options.

3. For viewing windows and operating panels: WKDH Deep Hinged Window Kit

The Deep-Hinged Window Kit is ideal for installing a viewing window where access to components mounted behind it is required. It is designed to protect HMI displays and components mounted on enclosure panels from wash-downs, rain, snow, sleet, dirt and dust. The window depth allows for extra-deep push-buttons (~2-inch/50mm) and comes with a full-size drill template for easy mounting.

4. For climate control: TopTherm filter fans

Simply and efficiently manage air flow in your enclosure with filter fans designed for tool-free, snap-in mounting and installation. The TopTherm filter fans' new diagonal fan technology creates greater pressure stability and constant airflow when installed, even with a contaminated filter mat. This new technology also allows air currents to spread diagonally from the fan, promoting even circulation throughout an enclosure.

5. For base assembly: flex-block base/plinth system

Save assembly time with high-strength plastic corner pieces that clip together base/plinth components. With this system, enclosure transport is uncomplicated, both empty and fully configured, by removing the base/plinth trim panel. Plus, cable management is straightforward and efficient, saving space for enclosure configuration.
