Standards

Maximum protection

  • Fire resistance from outside and inside for 30 / 60 / 90 minutes with ventilation system and inserted cables 

  • Smoke protection system for cold and hot smoke gases from outside and inside with ventilation system

  • Protection class IP42 with ventilation system (with additional accessories up to IP44), without ventilation up to IP54

  • IK10

Individual configuration - Plug&Play

  • Basic housing prepared at the factory for a wide range of accessories for individual configuration

  • Easy retrofitting of accessories on site, even when the housing is installed

  • More than 10 standardized accessories

  • Drawing data based on BIM

Simple installation and assembly on site

  • Lightweight enclosure

  • Delivery of all enclosure types factory-assembled or as a kit for self-assembly on site 

  • Installation of the wall housing via external fixing lugs for hanging in

  • Approved fastener for all solid wall types, e.g. masonry (solid, hollow and perforated brick), aerated concrete and concrete (reinforced, unreinforced) using 80 mm plastic frame plugs (up to 60 min BvA)

  • Plinth that can be driven under and step edge protection for free-standing enclosures

  • Door relief when closed

  • Cable entry at the top + bottom across the entire inside width of the enclosure

  • Doors can be unhinged incl. door hinge change on site

  • Rear panel can be fitted freely on the inside for easy screwing in without pre-drilling with up to 40 kg per fixing point

  • Stabilizers in the wall structure for the installation of heavy loads, e.g. large batteries

  • Edge protection via stainless steel bracket at the bottom 

Flexibility in installation location, ventilation and cable configuration

  • Installation on all types of walls, including partition walls in lightweight construction with appropriate fire resistance and free-standing (free-standing housing)

  • Installation in escape routes with ventilation system (with additional accessories)

  • Wall-mounted housing can be placed on the floor as a “free-standing housing” with no restrictions on the ventilation system

  • Diagonal ventilation system for fire from outside as free ventilation - maintenance-free, can be extended as technical ventilation (with additional accessories)

  • Diagonal ventilation system for fire from inside (escape routes) with additional accessories for cold smoke-tight ventilation or deactivated ventilation

  • Connection of external ventilation ducts to the housing (with additional accessories)

  • Interaction-free cable entry at the top + bottom for manufacturer-independent cable entry with functional integrity in the event of fire
