ADVANTAGES OF CONTROL 101 CABINETS

Advantages of using a control 101 control cabinet.

Being able to adapt a purpose-built control cabinet is a capability that can change how an installation holds up over time. Having a control cabinet the you can retro fit at any time means saving time spent on site. Be able to add or remove additional components Such as PSU's, loop & edge detectors, magnetic locking relays, access control, etc with simplicity and ease transforms how long a gate engineer spends on site. Improving efficiency and customers satisfaction.

The main advantages for using a control 101 control cabinets are as follows

Installer prospective

Reduce installation time on site.

No need to buy the components and build a cabinet each time.

Working from a standard cabinet design that allows you to more easily implement systems.

Have the capability to adapt at a later time for future up grades or conversions.

Utilising the mains circuit to gain better performance from your supply.

Being able to reconfigure the cabinet via links on the 3rd din rail.

A professional finish.

Option form basic cabinets to bespoke

Simple ordering and quoting process on our website.

Owner prospective

Having a more reliable control cabinet that can adapt over time

Less likely to have faults due to bad earthing and IMF interference.

Not expensive.

One of the main features of a control 101 control cabinet is is mains circuit. This gives the installer or field engineer the ability to add or remove additional circuits for ancillary equipment.

Below is a description of control 101's mains circuits.

Below that are some examples of cabinet configuration

400 SERIES

Internal double pole isolator.
10A Mains Filter.
10A MCB (type 2).
M6 x 25mm Brass bolt ((central earthing point)& equipotential bonding.
4 x fuse carries (5mm x 20mm).
2 x Double deck neutral terminal block (including links/bridges).
3 x earth terminal.

600 SERIES

Internal or external double pole isolator.
10A Mains Filter.
10A MCB (type 2).
M6 x 25mm Brass bolt ((central earthing point)& equipotential bonding.
3 x fuse carries (5mm x 20mm).
2 x Double deck neutral terminal block (including links/bridges).
3 x earth terminal.

Another option is available to add a 6A MCB for a lighting circuit.

700 SERIES

Internal or external double pole isolator.
20A Mains Filter.
2 x 10A MCB (type 2).
M6 x 25mm Brass bolt ((central earthing point)& equipotential bonding.
4 x fuse carries (5mm x 20mm).
2 x Double deck neutral terminal block (including links/bridges).
3 x earth terminal.

Another option is available to add a 6A MCB for a lighting circuit.

CABINET EXAMPLES

GATE DESCRITION :

A double leaf set of vehicle gates with a self closing magnetic locking pedestrian gate with intercom for vehicle and pedestrian.

For this scenario we will assume the installer is using a roger technology kit which is suitable to the size and weight of the gates
A power supply unit of 12v for the magnetic lock x 2.
The intercom system works off of a 24v power supply, which is din rail mountable.

The first selection process is the basic cabinet - Enclosure, Mains, Control board.

Mild steel
Internal isolation
Edge 1 control board

Next you select your ancillary equipment.

12v PSU 3.3A
Timer relay for pedestrian gate

This gives you a 600 series control cabinet with a Edge 1 control board wired to the input/output din rail. On the second din rail you will have the two power supply units wired into their own fuses with the secondary side, wired to the input/output din rail. Also on this din rail is situated the timer relay which is wired to the input/output din rail.

By creating links between the input/output terminals you can configure your wiring to integrate the ancillary equipment with the control board. This method gives you a standard to work from and the ability to adapt at a later date. From this method you can create notes informing the next engineer what you have done and what links do what.

UNDERSTANDING THE INPUT/OUTPUT 3RD DIN RIL

The inputs/outputs din rail is where it all comes together. From the point you can terminate all your incoming cables. For motor cable terminations this means we can use a two in the out terminal so that capacitors can be installed and replaced with ease, have a look at the bottom right picture. Now because everything is wired to the 3rd din rail you can wire via links, wire ancillary equipment to the control board and external components. Simplifying where and how you terminate wires and cables. Being able to replace a component such as a loop detector in a matter of minutes or being able to to reconfigure the link wiring to add, remove, modify as the cabinet changes over its life span.
