Standard enclosures Assembly INVENTED BY BERNSTEIN QUICK-RELEASE FASTENER AND FLEXIBLE, INTERNAL ARTICULATED HINGE • Fixing the cover: CT (polycarbonate and ABS) standard with quick-release fastener, optionally available for CA (aluminium) • Time and cost reductions • Easy to use • Easy opening and closing (press and turn 90°) • Easy closure test (recognisable without mechanical test) • High safety: The quick-release fastener is under tension and engages. No opening of the cover in the event of vibrations. • Easy to assemble (easy mounting or retrofitting possible due to self-retaining and detent)...

CLOSING THE COVER • Fixing the cover: CA (aluminium) and CP (polyester) with screws as standard, optionally available for CT • The cover screws of the enclosures are made of stainless steel and thanks to the integrated self-retaining system are protected against loss. Cover screw Note, the self-retaining screw must first be turned/screwed through the cover, not pressed in! SCREW CONNECTION WITH THE BACKGROUND • Mounting by screw channel Details to the assembly can be found on www.bernstein.eu/produkte/gehaeusetechnik

Standard enclosures Series CA (Aluminium) CA enclosures from BERNSTEIN are made of aluminium alloys with copper, silicon, iron and manganese. These elements produce various different properties of the enclosure material. For example, by using copper, the strength is increased while silicon promotes corrosion resistance. Iron ensures a higher conductivity, which is a great advantage especially in the electrical sector. Further positive properties of aluminium alloys are temperature resistance, good thermal conductivity, very good shielding properties and good coating possibilities. The BERNSTEIN...
