Transparent Door
Manufactured from strong yet lightweight materials this new transparent door design offers not only security but styling to the DIPLOMAT 19″ enclosure. All doors are lockable and allow sufficient space inside to mount components on front panels without causing interference. All doors are supplied with an integral colour highlight strip. Flammability rating – BS476 class 3/UL94-HB

Heavy Duty Carry Handle 3U and 4U Cases Only
This heavy duty handle is designed to visually coordinate with the DIPLOMAT cases. It is suitable for 3U and 4U cases and will accept loads of up to 300N. The handle has a press button mechanism which locks in increments of 30°. This allows the cases to be easily carried or tilted on a work surface. A template is supplied with the kit for easy drilling and to assist location in the side extrusions.

Feature Front Panels
Available in addition to the range of standard 19″ front panels, these are unique to the DIPLOMAT case. Manufactured in 3mm etched and anodised aluminium with a high quality surface finish they provide a clean and very attractive frontal appearance. They may be used both on the front and rear of the case and are fitted into the bezel in place of the trims, and in front of the 19″ fixing facilities.

10.5″ and 19″ Front Panels
Standard 19″ (IEC 297-1, DIN 41494 pt1) front panels are available in satin anodised aluminium of 3mm thickness.

Front Bezel Trims
These provide an attractive finish to the DIPLOMAT cases when the equipment has been installed. They are available in two versions; single part and two part, where the latter includes a second interlocking piece to cover the 19” fixing screws of the equipment. The two part trims come in plain and highlighted versions. The plain versions are mounted from the rear of the bezel, providing a clean fronted appearance and offering additional security. The highlighted versions are mounted from the front of the unit for easy access and silkscreened pantone green. Single part trims are available in plain form only to provide a clean frontal appearance whilst maintaining access to the 19” fixings.

10.5″ and 19″ Rear Panels
These steel rear panels are available in two versions – standard ventilated or fan ventilated – and two widths to suit 10½” and 19” DIPLOMAT Cases. The top and bottom covers of the enclosure can be quickly removed without the need to remove any panels. This is achieved by the provision of holes in the rear panel to permit easy access to the cover securing screws. The standard ventilated versions are supplied pre-punched with obround holes across the full width of the rear panel, providing a safe passage of air through the case. The fan ventilated versions are supplied with pre-punched vent areas with the relevant fixing holes to mount 120mm square fans. These panels are particularly suited to applications requiring forced cooling to aid air throughput.

Chassis supports are available to provide additional support for 19″ chassis or cardframes within the enclosures. These are assembled to the T slots in the side extrusions. Each kit comprises two runners and all necessary fixings.

Chassis Tray Kit – 19″ Cases Only
A range of chassis trays are available which, when attached to the chassis support, provide a complete chassis assembly for mounting processor boards or other components. A matrix of slots is provided in each tray so that it does not restrict airflow within the unit. This is especially important when used in a DIPLOMAT case with a ventilation plinth.

Earth Continuity Kit – 10.5″ or 19″ Compatible
The earth continuity kit provides all the cables and fixings required to give complete earth continuity throughout the case. This single kit is suitable for all sizes of DIPLOMAT.

The rear cable tidy allows power cables to be conveniently and tidily stored. It is supplied as a kit of two mouldings which are attached directly to the prepunched rear panels (both types).

Rear Bump Down Feet – 3U Cases Only
This useful bump down foot accessory allows portable instruments to be placed safely on rugged surfaces without causing damage to the unit itself. The foot assembly also acts as a cable wrap to conveniently store power cables. Access to the DIPLOMAT interior can be gained via securing screws in the foot moulding, which when unscrewed, will release the top and base covers. These are suitable for 3U units only.

Rear Bezel Trims – 10.5″ and 19″ Case Compatible
These can be used to hide the case fixing screws when the DIPLOMAT rear panel is not used. Similar in design to the front trims , but attached from the outside, they allow easy access without having to remove the covers. These trims may also be used as an alternative to the front trims where access is required. Supplied as a pair of trims.

3U and 4U Vertical Foot Kit
3U and 4U horizontal diplomats can be converted to vertical versions with the addition of a foot kit. Available in 4 sizes, they comprise an infill strip which locates in the top handle recess along with 2 bracket / foot assemblies. Note that the bottom handle recess needs to be suitably drilled to fix the bracket.
