Features
  • The range consists of nine boxes based on the 300 and 185 mm modules.
  • The bases are made of grey (RAL 7036), hot molded glass fiber reinforced
    polyester, dyed in mass. These come complete with M4 threaded inserts
    (Dodge) for fixing a mounting plate or mounting frame.
  • The cover is made of either transparent polycarbonate or opaque grey
    (RAL 7036) hot molded glass fiber reinforced polyester, dyed in mass.
  • APO-boxes provide optimum security to both operators and equipment
    because they feature total insulation and protection degree IP67 according
    to IEC 60529 and EN 60529
  • Protection degree IK10 against external mechanical impacts according to
    EN 50102
  • This protection covers the total volume of the enclosure according to
    EN 50298.
  • Each large box is a multiple of a smaller one. Its fixing points are also a
    multiple of those of a small box. These fixing points are blind holes for
    M4 threaded inserts.
  • Four to six blind holes for M6 threaded inserts are also provided in each base.
  • APO polyester boxes are designed for both wall end pole mounting.
  • The box can be readily worked with conventional tools such as drills,
    cutting mills, saws punches, etc.
  • Versatile service conditions: polyester enclosures can withstand continuous
    temperatures up to70°C (peak temperatures up to 150°C) and the
    transparent polycarbonate covers resist service temperature up to 120°C
  • APO polyester boxes are maintenance-free and corrosion resistant.
  • Rated insulation voltage Ui = 1000V.
  • APO boxes are UL listed, as per UL Standard 508, types 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 6, 6P,
    12 and 13
    They are also CSA approved.
