Selection and Installation

• Confirm the cabinet: use the full VX enclosure article number to check compatibility.
• Check the internal layout: allow space for the kit around cable ducts, mounting rails and equipment. The assembly instructions require checking for collisions with other accessories.
• Review the complete configuration: include equipment mass and distribution, the earthquake base/plinth, comfort handle and floor connection in the project assessment.
• Follow the installation manual: use the illustrated assembly sequence, mounting plate fixings and tightening torques for each connection.

FAQ

Q1: Does this kit include the earthquake base/plinth and comfort handle?
A: The documented configuration uses these as separate articles. State whether the earthquake base/plinth and comfort handle should be included in your quotation.

Q2: Can the kit be added to an enclosure that is already populated?
A: Check the existing layout against the manual's disassembly and assembly drawings. Confirm that the fixing points remain accessible and identify which equipment or accessories must be removed for installation.

Q3: Can I use the same kit with another enclosure size or series?
A: Send the enclosure article number and layout for a compatibility check. A different size or series needs its own review of the reinforcement and applicable seismic documentation.

Q4: What if the equipment must continue operating during or after an earthquake?
A: Specify the required operating behavior and acceptance criteria. Rittal's white paper explains that functional verification may require testing with the actual installed equipment.
