PRCAB, cabinet
The PRCAB cabinet is a metal enclosure equipped with a front plate (door) with removable hinges. The cabinet can be
wall mounted and anchored in place using the holes on the back of the enclosure or can be affixed to another cabinet
by means of two bolts and the holes on the top and bottom sides of the enclosure.
The front of the cabinet provides two apertures for mounting two FPM front-plate modules and the grounding
connections.
It has a compartment for the connection of up to 8 IFM modules via a CAN drive bar equipped with connectors for IFM
internal modules, and a CAN BUS cable for communication with the FPM front-plate modules or affixed cabinets. The
compartment has a bar which serves to hold the modules in place and allows the grounding connections. There is a
placement for two 12V, 24Ah or 17Ah batteries.
The cabinet has hooks for the cable ties and cable entries on the top and bottom sides. Appropriate hole covers are provided.
The available accessory items, required in accordance with the type of installation, are as follows:
• PRCABSP kit for mounting the cabinet at a distance of 5cm from the wall, also available in red (PRCABSP-R)
• PRCABRK kit for mounting the cabinet to a rack, also available in red (PRCABRK-R)
