WALLTEC - Tough New IP65 Wall Mount Enclosures from OKW

OKW has launched its tough new WALLTEC wall mount enclosures, replacing the previous TYPE S series with a more modern and robust design rated to the higher protection class of IP65 similar to NEMA 4. Typical applications for the new WALLTEC enclosures will include controller units for heating, air conditioning and lighting, flow meters, process controls, timers, monitoring equipment and security systems.

Two standard types of WALLTEC plastic enclosures are available:
  • Type I housings have an open front section for fitting an aluminum front panel or a recessed cover. They are molded as ABS enclosures (UL 94 HB) for regular applications. 
  • Type II housings are fitted with a transparent hinged front cover with quick-action lock. They are molded in polycarbonate (UL 94 5V) – this high flame class rating is ideal for industrial applications. The material is also highly resistant to UV radiation which makes it more suitable for permanent use outdoors. 
WALLTEC waterproof enclosures are available in six basic sizes with external dimensions from 6.53” x 6.29” x 3.14” to 15.07” x 12.44” x 5.27”. These sizes are similar to the previous TYPE S range, so switchover should be very easy.

All models have a separate terminal compartment with removable lid for independent access to the cables and terminals during installation and servicing. The main internal area has guide grooves and screw bosses for fitting PCBs, mounting plates and assemblies.

Both types can be fitted with an accessory anodized aluminum front panel for mounting the controls and displays. Type I housings can also be fitted with an attractive molded ABS cover which has a recessed area for mounting a membrane keypad or a product label.

A three-point mounting system is molded into the rear part of the WALLTEC enclosures. This makes it very easy to mount these electronic enclosures to a wall or machine housing. Accessory external mounting brackets are also available for mounting sealed units. Prices for the enclosures start at $47.

Other accessories include an internal mounting plate for the electronic assemblies, a DIN Rail mounting kit for the whole enclosure and security screws for the transparent cover.

OKW can supply WALLTEC enclosures with additional holes for keypads, connectors, controls and displays, plus RFI shielding and silk-screen printed legends and logos.

OKW Enclosures, Inc, Vice President, Sales, Sean Bailey said: “Type S enclosures have given their users great service and now WALLTEC makes it easy to upgrade to more weatherproof enclosures.”

Features of WALLTEC IP65 enclosures:
  • Modern and tough wall mount enclosures for industrial electronics
  • Replaces previous Type S cases
  • Molded in ABS (UL 94 HB) or high flame class and UV rated polycarbonate (UL 94 5V)
  • Separate terminal compartment for connections
  • With or without hinged transparent cover

  • Aluminum front panel for both versions
  • Recessed front lid for membrane keypads, displays, controls or product labels
  • Three-point wall mounting system
  • Enclosure can be mounted while closed using optional wall mounting brackets
  • Enclosure can also be DIN Rail mounted
  • Internal screw pillars for mounting PCBs
  • Pre-molded openings for security tags
  • Standard color: Light gray, RAL 7035
  • Accessories: Polycarbonate front lid, aluminum front panels, steel mounting plate, external wall mounting brackets, DIN Rail mounting kit, cable glands, fixing screws for transparent cover.
The WALLTEC series is part of a wide range of IP rated enclosures manufactured by OKW.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
