Rigid construction
The RPE has a robust welded construction made completely of 2 mm thick material.

Three independently lockable sections
RPE cabinet has three independently lockable sections. The upper and bottom section are locked by a Tritón handle-lock; the slide-out middle section, intended for a keyboard and a mouse, has a single point lock. All sections in the standard version are operated by the same key.

Cable entries
Cable entry with size 300 x 100 mm at the top and bottom part is sealed by screwed blanking panel. All cable entries must be properly sealed especially against the dust and humidity, which could in airconditioned area start condensing and could also damage installed equipment. Furthermore it could start freezing inside of the A/C unit which can lead to its break down. A blanking panel with sealed cable grommets is part of the cabinet supply.

Ceiling blanking panel
The large ceiling blanking panel allows the installation of the air conditioner with the airflow orientation exactly according to the needs of the installed equipment. By installing the air conditioner, the IP rating of the entire assembly drops to IP20. For more details please refert section Accessories – Active cooling.

IP54
The RPE series cabinets with higher protection are designed to protect equipment especially against the harmful effects of water and dust. The perforation of the roof is only a design feature and does not reduce the protection level of the cabinet. The side covers are bolted to the skeleton and, like the doors, are fitted with a foam seal. There are holes in the covers to allow the cabinets to be joined into assemblies.

Multipoint locking system
The sliding locking system ensures perfect sealing of the door against the cabinet skeleton. The system is compatible with handles and locks from the world’s leading manufacturers, including electronic and code locks.

Flexible door opening
The own hinge system allows the door to open almost 180°. The door can be easily removed and re-mounted to change the direction of opening.

Glass
The metal doors with glued glass are made of 4 mm thick tempered safety glass, which is resistant to common impacts. When broken, it forms a number of small fragments like automotive glass. For safety reasons, we recommend closing the door after installing the equipment in the cabinet to prevent collision with other objects. Used glass is tested in a certified testing laboratory and meet the requirements of ČSN EN 12150-1+A: Glass in construction – Thermally tempered soda-lime-silicate safety glass. The tested glass meets the standard for the disintegration of glass after breakage, Certificate of Conformity CQ-24- 2023, Test Protocol IKATES 58A-2024.

Adjustable vertical rails
19” vertical rails can be adjusted freely in any depth of the cabinet. This simplifies mounting of the device and configuration of cables.

Removable side panels and rear cover
RPE has a welded frame and removable side and rear panels. These are fixed to the frame using a lock with with safety countersunk screws.

Castors, levelling feet, base
The cabinet can be placed on levelling feet (included) or, with optional equipment, on a base, castors or heavy-duty castors with reinforcing frame.

Bonding
All detachable parts are bonded together according to the requirements of the relevant standard.

• 19“ free-standing cabinet with IP54 protection.
• Cabinet includes 4 adjustable vertical rails for device mounting.
• Cabinet construction:
  – welded steel frame with removable side panels sealed by PUR foam,
  – single wing door with PUR foam seling in versions of solid metal or glazed with safety tempered glass 4 mm (they can be on the front or of the cabinet only), to reach required sealing these are equipped by multipoint locking as standard.
• Max. permissible load of the door is 20 kg.
• Min. thickness of the surface finish is 65 µm.
• The cabinets are designed for industrial environments and suitable for installation of computers or control elements of technological systems.
• The frame of the cabinet and all the removable parts (side and rear covers, doors…) are bonded with flexible cables that have to be properly fixed and inserted into connectors throughout the period of use of the cabinet.
• There is one M8 screw placed on the bottom part of the cabinet as a central earthing point.
• Cable openings covered with screwed and sealed blanking panels are placed in the top and the bottom part of the cabinet.
• The maximum recommended static load of the cabinet is 400 kg using levelling feet or a base.

Operating conditions

• Operating environment:
  – the indoor environment,
  – the cabinet is not intended for outdoor installations and for installations in environment that can negatively influence the functionality of the cabinet and the mounted devices (e.g. environment with danger of explosion or humid and wet surroundings).
  
• Must be protected against:
  – mechanical damage,
  – improper handling,
  – a different usage than the cabinet is intended for.
  
• Improper handling is especially:
  – overloading (exceeding the maximum recommended load capacity),
  – installation of equipment that adversely affects the operation and function of the cabinet or installed equipment,
  – change of the construction or design of the cabinet.
  
• When using the RAX-MS-X81-X1 castor set for direct mounting on the cabinet (the height of the cabinet is increased by 108 mm), the maximum total load capacity of 200 kg including the weight of the cabinet must be observed.
• When using the RAX-RK-Xxx-X1 castor set with reinforcing frame (RAX-MS-X81-X1 castors included), the maximum total load capacity is 450 kg including the weight of the cabinet**. The height of the cabinet is increased by 111 mm.
  
• To guarantee stability, at least 65 % of the load must be installed in the lower half of the cabinet height.
• The relevant standards* must be observed when taxiing with a loaded cabinet.
  

Installation of the cabinet

• To ensure the maximum recommended load capacity and stability, it is essential that the load is evenly distributed between the front and rear vertical rails.
  
• The cabinet must be placed on a level floor and and adjust any differences using the levelling feet.
• To avoid dust penetration in the case where cables lead through some of the cable openings, it may be sealed with a brush and secured by the fringe edge (both are included in the delivery).
  

Environmental protection

• All parts are made of recyclable materials and after decommissioning the cabinet, it must be disposed of according to relevant regulations.
  

Certificate and conformity

• This product is fully in accordance with ČSN EN 62208 ed.2:2012 (EN 62208:2011).
  

* The load capacities of the castors are applicable for travel speed up to 4 km/h on level ground and smooth surface at ambient temperature in the range of 10-30 °C. All dimensions, load capacities and tolerances correspond to following standards: EN 12527-12533, DIN 7845.

** Total weight of the cabinet = weight of the cabinet itself + installed accessories + installed equipment. Load capacity per wheel = Total weight of the enclosure / 3.
